Fall is a fun time for decorating. Windows and doors are one of my favorite areas to enhance. Doors are one of the most frequently viewed areas of the home, and a little decoration is the perfect way to make guests feel welcome. Window decorations can be viewed from both inside and outside the home, so less effort and bigger reward! This is especially nice in the Fall when it starts to get a bit chilly outside. Check out these festive decor ideas you can use to decorate your windows & doors for the season.
Add hardy plants to window boxes & porch pots
If you already have window boxes or potted plants by your entry door, then this is an essential step to keep them looking healthy during cooler weather. You’ll start to see those summer annuals loose their appeal quickly. Spruce things up by replacing them with hardy plants.
Mums are marvelous! They come in a wide variety of colors and will bloom beautifully well into the Fall.
Hardy cabbage and ornamental kale are a fun accent for Fall. If you’ve grown cabbage before, then you know how amazingly hardy they are. These grow very well in pots and will add nice Fall foliage to your home.

Swags & wreaths
Swags and wreaths can brighten up any exterior. They can be designed to suit any sense of style. They’re super easy to hang with a wreath hanger. Put them on the entry door and consider them for the front facing windows too. There are many DIY projects for easy wreaths and swags, so it’s a perfect decoration for any budget. One thing I love about fall decor is incorporating dried materials from the existing landscape like vines, nuts, leaves and grasses.
Get creative with arrangements
Fall arrangements are super easy! Gather some interesting pumpkins and gourds, and pair them with some Autumn accents. Use things around you to fill in your fabulous Fall arrangement. Place these on window sills, inside pots, on hay bails, next to the front door, or wherever your heart desires.
