Give Your Porch Some Rustic Fall Style

Give Your Porch Some Rustic Fall Style

Fall is here, and with it a fresh season of action as a prelude to the holidays. If you can find a free afternoon, spend just a couple hours sprucing up your porch or patio with seasonal soul before your trick-or-treaters arrive.

General Fall Porch Style

Natural textures layered next to found items can make a comfy outdoor seat for seeing the leaves change. Employing a hay bale as a temporary coffee table is an inexpensive and functional approach to cozy up your outdoor area. Try using a little tray or basket as a solid, level surface to hold a drink or book.

Here, a rustic chair doubles as a side table to get a vintage cola crate holding pink mums.

Make more tin cans with paint and fill them with your favourite seasonal flowers. A generous neighbor let me select these from her garden. Utilize your order to freshen up any space, from an entry to a tabletop.

A wood crate provides additional display space and storage. A stack of old paperbacks reinforces some mini pumpkins. Lavender sprigs in a vintage milk jug add a nice aroma and elevation to a wooden-crate-turned-side-table.

Straightforward Burlap Pillow Cover

Burlap or linen sacks make for an easy pillow cover throughout the vacations. This little burlap sack was among the “I will find something to with this one day” items that found a brand new (and temporary) function as our porch swing cushion. If you don’t own one, you can simply cut some burlap to length and sew up one.

Stuff your pillow to the sofa and tuck leftover fabric to the open end, hiding the pillow inside.

Wrap a ribbon around the sofa and tie it. Obviously, if you are using an indoor pillow as the filler, then bring your pillow indoors if the weather gets too damp.
