Did you know that most Americans plan to spend upwards of $60 on their fall decor and landscaping needs? Decor hasn’t always been a top-seller. However, with Instagram influencers and YouTubers sprucing up their homes, seasonal landscaping has become a popular trend. In fact, more money has been spent on decorations and patio landscaping than ever before.
Now, if you want to keep up with the trends, you might be wondering, “what are the fall trends this season?” Don’t worry, with this guide you can find out! From hanging a fall wreath to framing patio windows, you can learn how to get your patio decked out in time for the fall season.
Now, are you ready to get started? Here’s an in-depth look at sprucing up your patio for fall:
Hang a Fall Wreath
Hanging a wreath is the simplest and most cost-efficient way to upgrade your patio for the fall season. After all, with so many styles to choose from, you can find one that best matches your fall decor and ties your design together. For example, you can purchase a wooden wreath, a metal wreath, or a classic flower wreath to make your decor pop.
That way, if you want, you only have to hang one wreath all season long rather than changing it as Thanksgiving comes around.
Add an Awning
Patio awnings are a perfect addition to any outdoor space, especially for the fall season. Not only do they provide shade and protection from the weather, but they also add a sense of beauty to your patio.
To help find the right awning for your patio, contact a patio landscaper. A landscaper will ask you questions like how large you want it to be, whether or not you want it to be retractable, as well as the design or shape you prefer. By asking these questions, the landscaper can help point you in the right direction and find an awning you love.
If you want to keep with fall trends, purchase an awning that features one of autumn’s colors like dark red, burnt orange, or shades of purple.
Add Patio Pavers
Adding new patio pavers is a great way to spruce up your patio for the fall season. We suggest purchasing concrete pavers over natural stone or brick. After all, concrete pavers are very strong and are unlikely to break or be damaged due to heavy foot traffic.
Also, their variety of color patterns make the fall colors stand out. If you need help choosing which colors would be best for your patio, talk to a patio landscaper.
Frame Patio Windows
Don’t forget to spruce up your patio windows for the fall season. Add fall decor around the entire frame of the window, around the sides, or the windowsill to make your window pop.
For instance, you can drape garland around the edges, add tree stumps or planters to the sides, or even place a simple pumpkin on the windowsill. However, whatever design you choose, try not to make it look too cluttered.
Try White Pumpkins
Okay, hear us out; we know it’s unconventional, but if you want to revamp your fall decor, purchase a few white pumpkins to put around your patio. The soft white and muted greyish-blue hues will look gorgeous in the fall, especially when combined with the colors of autumn.
To extend this theme, purchase white mum’s, a brown welcome mat, or a basket made out of wood. Having a dark brown color mixed in will help elevate your patio design and bring in more traditional fall colors.
However, keep in mind white pumpkins may not be the best choice for every house. Take into consideration your patio paint color and your overall furniture color.
If you have a cool-toned exterior with grey or black furniture, chances are the white pumpkins will look fabulous. Although, if you have a warm-toned exterior, they might take away from the design instead of adding to it.
Add a Firepit
Who can say no to a crackling fire? With a fire pit in your back patio, you can say goodbye to itchy bug bites and hello to comfy campfires. Just make sure you have some cozy blankets and plenty of firewood nearby.
Now, anyone can purchase a cheap fire pit from a local store; however, if you want to have it installed, you’re going to need to call a patio landscaper. Any expert will ask you questions about how large you want it to be, how you’re going to seat guests, and whether or not you want a gas or electric fire pit. These questions help landscapers determine not only the right location but the design of your fire pit.
For example, will the firepit be squared, circled, or have a seat wall? Patio landscapers use these details to ensure you get what you want. That way, you end up with a finished product you love and enjoy using.
Decorate Patio Tables
Instead of leaving your patio table bare this season, deck it out with all of the essentials. You can decorate your table with a fall table runner, seasonal fruit basket, fashionable candle holder, and so much more. You can get creative and add an array of small pumpkins or be formal and add placemats to the table.
Make it look ready to dine on; that way, it adds to the aesthetic of your patio. It’s not just a bare table; instead, it’s seasonally decorated for the perfect fall dinner party.
