How to Style a Fall Front Door
Contents
When it comes to transitioning our spaces for the seasons, the front door is one of the first areas that comes to mind.
A thoughtfully styled front door sets the tone for the entire home, creating a welcoming introduction to the mood and atmosphere inside. Over the years, Shea and the design team have experimented with various ways to achieve this. We’re excited to share three inspiring looks to help you create your own front porch style. Whether you’re more simple or like a heavily layered look, or if you’re drawn to a harvest-inspired setup with pumpkins and corn stalks or prefer a more understated approach with an autumn wreath and planters, these ideas will help you make your front door the perfect reflection of fall.
01
Embrace the Season
“When I designed the Faux Autumn Grapevine Wreath for McGee & Co., I drew inspiration from a wreath I crafted last fall using branch clippings from my own backyard.”
The first step in styling a fall front door and porch is incorporating seasonal accessories that capture the essence of autumn. Start with a wreath that reflects the natural beauty of the season—think rich, warm colors like deep reds, oranges, and golds. A wreath made of dried leaves or florals brings a festive, organic touch to your entryway. To elevate the look, consider adding a ribbon for an extra layer of texture and charm.
Don’t stop at the wreath; consider adding other accessories like lanterns, baskets, or a mix of pumpkins. Lanterns filled with candles provide a warm glow in the evening, while an assortment of colorful pumpkins, add a charming, harvest-inspired touch.

Add Natural Elements
Next, bring in planters and pots to layer your front door with greenery and texture. Fall is the perfect time to experiment with richer, deeper hues in your plant choices. Mums, ornamental cabbages, and kale are great options that thrive in cooler weather and add vibrant color to your front porch.
When choosing planters, consider mixing materials and heights to create visual interest. Pairing ceramic pots with woven baskets or using terracotta pots in various sizes can give your entryway a eclectic, inviting feel.

Lay the Foundation
The finishing touch for your fall front door is the perfect combination of rugs and doormats. At Studio McGee, we love creating a layered look by starting with an indoor/outdoor rug as the base and adding a doormat on top.
Whether you choose to layer two rugs or go with just one, both options can create a beautiful effect. If you’re layering, opt for an indoor/outdoor rug with a subtle pattern or a neutral tone that complements your color scheme for a cohesive look.
