Cozy sweaters, bonfires, and pumpkins everywhere means fall has arrived! When a hint of chill is in the air, it's time to refresh your front door decor. Whether you opt for classic or modern take on the season, you can boost your curb appeal and lend a welcoming feel to your front door by decorating it with gorgeous wreaths, real gourds and pumpkins you picked yourself, and plenty of unexpected style accents.
Decorating your front door for the season is a favorite fall activity, and you can be as creative as you like!
Classic Autumn Decor
Cornstalks, baskets of bright orange mums, and plenty of pumpkins adorn this front door for a classic autumn vibe. Mirroring the design exactly on both sides of the doorway offers a more polished look.
Live Gourds and Vines
This charming design involves shaping a piece of chicken wire, or poultry netting, into a cone shape, then filling with real gourds, mini pumpkins, and bittersweet vine. It will last all season long all the way to Thanksgiving.
Metallic Accents
Every front door needs a wreath as a finishing touch. But instead of the traditional wreath with brilliant fall colors, opt for something more understated. This wreath with metallic accents fits the bill. (Hint: Update an old wreath with a light coat of metallic spray paint!)
Dried Corn Swag
Sometimes less is more. Keep it super-simple by hanging dried ornamental corn cobs for a nod to the season. We love this understated look! You can add a burlap bow if you want to go fancier.
White Wreath
Choose an unexpected color for fall with this pretty white wreath, which pops against the dark door. The pampas grass arrangement on this front porch further elevates the fall door decor.

Wicker Cone
These pretty wicker cones will add a unique shape and pop of color to either side of your front door. Fill with mums, pansies, or other autumn flowers for quaint curb appeal.
Classic Lanterns
A few lanterns with LED candles add a welcoming touch to your front door decor.
Dried Hydrangeas
Go low-key with two baskets overflowing with dried hydrangea flowers, as shown here at the front door of
this bungalow designed by Leanne Ford. Forage from your garden, or see if friends will share dried blooms from their gardens!
Double Topiaries
Flank your front door with topiaries for a classic, refined entrance with oodles of curb appeal. Opt for faux if you don't want to fuss with live plants.
Colorful Ribbon
Blue isn't a color that's typically associated with fall, which makes it the perfect unexpected choice for painting your front door this season. Try a seafoam blue backdrop for a wreath with a coral orange bow, as shown on this home designed by Elizabeth Pash.
Lush Display
Go over the top with this lavish display of live flowers, crotons, gourds and ornamental grasses lining the steps to your home's entry. It's stunning!
Monochromatic Look
Autumn doesn't have to be flashy golds and scarlet reds! If you love the monochromatic look, this low-key wheat wreath offers soothing vibes when displayed on a neutral-colored front door.
