Outdoor Fall decorating ideas don’t need to be complicated and you don’t need to worry if your outdoor space is small. When it comes to figuring out how to decorate your steps for Fall my first piece of advice is to think beyond the steps.
I decided to create two separate spaces on each side of the steps. One is a seating area and one is more of a decorative area. I chose to keep the steps simple with two faux pumpkins on the lower stair and a yet to bloom mum on the top stair.
When it comes to decorating your steps or your porch for Fall, a color scheme can be very helpful. I wanted to add some high contrast elements with our dark house so I chose all white mums and all white pumpkins.
Plus, the mixture of terracotta pots, green pots, wood and copper pots adds the extra color that gives your eye more to look at than just the white flowers and pumpkins.
My number one go to for my outdoor Fall decor is always pinecones. Luckily, here in our new backyard we have several mature pine trees that drop a ton of pinecones. So all I had to do was gather some up and that was a huge win for keeping my Fall outdoor space budget friendly.
I filled the large black lantern base with pinecones as well as one of my flower pots. Simple touches like these can sometimes make the largest impact!
