Fall Front Porch Refresh: Easy Updates for a Cozy Welcome
*This post contains affiliate links, please read my full disclosure here. Thank you for supporting my blog.*
You know that feeling when you pop into a store for just one thing and leave with a cart full of possibilities? That’s exactly what happened to me on a recent trip to Walmart. I stopped by after school drop-off and was absolutely blown away by their home decor selection. I couldn't resist a few new finds, and before I knew it, I had a careful of gorgeous pieces that inspired a much-needed front porch refresh.
This isn’t a sponsored post, but I have to admit that most of the items you see came from Walmart because I simply could not resist!
Creating a Welcoming Entryway
The main goal was to make the front door feel more anchored and inviting. I started with a new rug that I instantly loved for its warm terracotta color. To make the space feel more substantial, I layered it with two green rugs underneath, which really helped to ground the entire area.
On either side of the door, I added two tall plastic planters in a matching terracotta shade. The pots’ color perfectly complements the rug, creating a beautiful, cohesive look. Since I haven’t had much success in keeping real plants alive—mainly due to the lack of direct sunlight—I opted for two faux plants for this space. They add a pop of greenery without the stress of keeping them alive.
To finish the door's look, I hung a cute rattan basket that I snagged for a steal—just $12! Inside, I tucked in my favorite faux hydrangea flowers in a rich fall color, adding texture and a touch of seasonal charm.
Refreshing the Sitting Area
Next, I turned my attention to the sitting area. I brought in an outdoor area rug that blends with the floor to prevent the space from looking too busy, but still adds a nice layer of texture. I also added a container garden to the tabletop, filled with colorful plants to bring more life and color to the space.
Adding plants—real or faux—is such a simple yet effective way to add color and personality to any outdoor space. Now, my newly refreshed front porch is my favorite place to relax with a cup of coffee each morning before the day's chaos begins.
