You can easily grab a hot cup of coffee and enjoy the scenery on your front steps, but a cozy and well-decorated porch is going to make your autumn months all the more memorable.

That’s exactly why we’ve taken it upon ourselves to make autumn at home as cozy and relaxing as possible—without sacrificing aesthetics and style, of course. Below, we’ve rounded up a whole bunch of fall porch decor inspiration and expert tips and ideas from a series of designers and interior decorators. “An easy and affordable way to decorate your porch for the autumn months is to add in functional furniture that is both beautiful and inviting,” explains Ted Roberts, Style and Design Expert at Schlage. “DIY is in right now—and if you can’t go thrifting, you might even have some indoor furniture that can be repurposed with a coat of all-weather paint to withstand the colder weather.”
