When you are sprucing up your home’s exterior for the fall, don’t forget to replace tired outdoor pillows with something a little more fit for the season. Whether you want leaf- or pumpkin-themed pillows, or you want to stick with something a little less thematic but still capture the essence of fall as these Corsica Outdoor Pillows do, you won’t have to spend a lot of money to have a big impact on your seating areas.

Wreaths add color, style and a welcoming feeling to your front door. It’s also very simple to change wreaths every few months to create new seasonal looks without a lot of effort. This Harvest Pumpkin Wreath is not only beautifully designed, but the warm colors and fall accents quickly add a touch of fall decor to your front door without going overboard. (Pottery Barn, $99)

Lanterns with either unlit candles or electric candles can be beautiful accents to any front porch! Whether they line your stairs or help create a stylish vignette near your front door, lanterns like these Sterling Hand-Held Outdoor Lanterns in Terra Nova are a perfect way to add beauty and light to your front porch this fall.

Garlands always make for beautiful decorations around your front door, columns or a banister. And leaf garlands have been a fall staple in exterior decorating for years! This year, glam it up by bringing a touch of the ever-popular gold to your front porch with a gold-leafed garland such as this Distinctive Designs Natural Laurel Leaf Garland. (Wayfair, $158)

Nothing says fall better than having a scarecrow in your front yard or on your porch.
