Fall is here and you want to get into the spirit by decorating your home, specifically your front door. If you’re sick and tired of putting out the same old jack-o-lantern every single year, then take your front door decor to the next level this season with one of the 15 beautiful and creative ideas shown below. Whether looking to go simple and elegant with a small wreath of autumn leaves or wanting to extend your decorations onto your porch and maybe even down your walkway, there is something on this list for absolutely everyone.

If you’ve got limited space or are more minimalistic in your decor preferences, then all you really need to make your home cozier and seasonally inspired is something to hang on your front door. This could be a small wreath like the one pictured in idea number 6, or possibly some type of floral, harvest corn, and pine-cone arrangement like the one hanging in option number 15. If hanging something on your door isn’t an option where you live but you’ve got a little bit of porch room, ideas like floral arrangement pumpkins in option number 12 could really go a long way in warming up that space.

Alternatively, if you are enthusiastic about decorating this season and want to go all out, you could completely transform the front of your home into an autumn dream. Pumpkins, bales of straw, potted plants, scarecrows, and fall leaves can all be used together to complete the look you desire. Check out the options listed in numbers 9, 10, and 13 if you really want to impress your family, friends, and neighbors this year.

Place a bale of straw on both sides of your largest step with a large pumpkin on each one. Arrange potted mums and gourds around the straw bale and down the steps, keeping both sides symmetrical for a walkway feel. Tie the look together with corn-stalks on both sides of your door and a hanging wreath.

There is something to be said for sticking with the basics. If you’ve got a small table you can set on your porch, place a bouquet of sunflowers and autumn leaves on it. Surround the flowers with small pumpkins and gourds, and arrange your larger pumpkins around the table.

It’s amazing how much you can transform the front of your home by simply accenting your door frame. A great way to do this is by draping garland made of autumn leaves, pine-cones, and sunflowers around the front double doors. This look works well with matching wreaths.

If you’ve got kids or want to steer away from traditional fall colors, try wreaths with bright purple or pink orbs and green accents. These look great with a fun and friendly scarecrow on your porch, and a few leafy potted plants that match the purple in your wreaths.

If you’ve got a cooler-toned or more modern-looking home, a few large pumpkins and some bright yellow mums are a great option for more classic decor. Scatter them sparsely around your porch and stairs if you’re more minimalistic. An added rocking chair makes this the perfect place to sit on a fall day.

If the more traditional floral wreath just isn’t for you, try hanging a wreath of cranberries on your front door. This bold pop or color is festive and looks great with a bright yellow bouquet in a distressed and rustic vase. Arrange candles and apples around the display.

There is no denying that a simple display featuring bright oranges and yellows can really warm up a front porch in the fall. Place two potted mums, one yellow and one orange, to the side of your door. Next to them, lay down some brightly-colored leaves underneath a few pumpkins.

Go all out and create a harvest feel down your entire walkway. Line up several straw bales, wheelbarrows, and even a rocking chair down either side. Fill these with large pumpkins in several different colors, and run corn stalks, sunflowers, and autumn leaves up the pillars on your porch.

If your house has stairs to the front door, line either side of the staircase with varying size pumpkins and dried harvest corn. At the bottom of the stairs, continue the stacked look with bales of straw covered with gourds and mums. Frame the staircase with corn stalks.

Decorate a smaller front porch with a few large potted plants. You can even consider using a pumpkin to hold one of these. This look is easily brought together with a large ornamental wreath. Choose a wreath with a few bulky decorations, such as shimmery-painted pumpkins, for a completed look.

If you like the idea of floral arrangements in pumpkins, don’t be afraid to experiment with different flowers. Mums and sunflowers aren’t your only options. Try using orange and white pumpkins to display flowers such as warm-colored roses and even chrysanthemums.
