So what better time to decorate your outdoor space for chilly nights by a fire, or cozy afternoons on the front porch?

As we do every week, we’re bringing you five of the most-liked decor posts on Instagram, to show you how you can get these amazing cozy looks in your outdoor space. So get ready for the ultimate #fallfrontporch decor inspo—just be sure to BYO pumpkin spice latte.
Comfy wicker corner chairs
There’s nothing like settling in under a cozy blanket to watch the leaves change color; and you can turn your porch into the ultimate daytime chill zone by adding a corner wicker chair like the one in this post from @bricksnblooms.
“Wicker chairs provide a little extra character on your fall-themed porch or deck—and make a great place to host family in the fall,” says Chelsea Allard, vice president of design at Case Design/Remodeling.
If you’re worried about fall’s chilly, damp weather wreaking havoc on the wicker, fear not—weatherproof options abound!
“This wicker style of seating has become really popular over the last few years,” explains Neil Partridge of NGI Design. “It’s often a really durable plastic or synthetic resin that’s been shaped to mimic a wicker, which means that you can have the style without the hassle.”

Upgrade your space with some cozy wicker seating by shopping the chairs at Wayfair, or alternatively, opt for a full outdoor sectional from Home Depot.
Seasonal welcome mats
Anything customized tends to be expensive, but the trend toward seasonal customized welcome mats, as seen on the front porch of @jlgarvin, is one exception.
“Custom welcome mats offer a simple way to add a personal touch to your home on the cheap,” Partridge says.
It’s also a fun way to greet your guests, and a practical essential for keeping the house tidy.
“One of the easiest ways to give guests a warm welcome is by having simple, homey touches at the front entrance,” Allard says. “A custom welcome mat can ring in the holiday season, complement a fresh coat of paint, or at its most basic level, help keep your foyer clean.”

Perfect fall fire pit
Kick off the chillier season and complete your outdoor space with a stylish stone fire pit, like the one featured in this recent post by @theporcheplace.
“Nothing says fall like friends around a fire pit,” Allard says. “Next time you have the urge to cook up some s’mores or cuddle up around some of your favorite company, a fire pit could be the perfect addition to your deck or backyard.”

Classy white pumpkins
Orange pumpkins are great for fall, but they’re just so … predictable. Elevate your outdoor decor this season by opting instead for a collection of white pumpkins, like the ones in this repost by @tiffanyswreathco of @homehydrangea’s front porch.
“Halloween decorations don’t have to be limited to orange!” Allard exclaims. “White, green, and earth-toned pumpkins have become more popular in recent years as autumn decor pieces, and make for a friendly and stylish front entry.”

Victorian porch lights
You don’t need to install actual gas lamps to add some Old World Gothic charm to your home’s exterior. Opt instead for a set of Victorian-style porch lights, like the ones in this post from @style.and.grace.interiors.
“This style of porch light is fantastic. It creates brilliant curb appeal, draws attention to the details, and evokes a sense of elegance and regal style,” Partridge says. “You’ll find that they fit in with any theme that you can think of, because it will either create a gorgeous contrast or a complementary atmosphere.”
