This post was written in partnership with Walmart, all opinions are 100% my own.

As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisper, it's time to embrace the beauty of fall and transform your porch into a cozy oasis. Transitioning your outdoor space from summer to fall can be simple and inexpensive. In fact, with a few easy-to-do fall decor ideas, some charming DIY projects, and a visit to your local Walmart, you can create a stunning transitional fall porch design that welcomes the season with open arms.

Fall is synonymous with rich, earthy colors. Incorporate these hues into your porch design through throws, rugs, and other decorative elements. Walmart offers a wide range of affordable textiles in warm tones like burnt orange, deep brown, and olive green, allowing you to infuse your porch with the spirit of fall.


Planting Mums for a Pop of Color: 

Fall wouldn't be the same without the vibrant hues of mums. These resilient and colorful flowers are a perfect addition to your porch. Head over to Walmart's garden section and choose from various mum varieties. Opt for different colors like deep reds, rich pinks, and purple to create a captivating display. Plant them in rustic ceramic pots for a touch of elegance.

Besides mums, consider placing potted marigolds, pansies, or ornamental kale on your porch. These flowers thrive in cooler weather and add depth and variety to your fall decor. Walmart's garden section has a great selection of seasonal blooms.

Cozy Up your porch with Fall Pillows 

Comfort is key when creating a welcoming fall porch. One of the simplest ways to achieve this is by adding fall-themed pillows to your outdoor seating. Walmart offers a fantastic selection of affordable cushions and pillows in various fall-inspired patterns, such as plaid, leaves, and pumpkins. Mix and match these cozy accents to make your porch an inviting retreat.

Layered Doormats

Start your fall porch design at the entrance with layered doormats. Walmart offers an assortment of welcome mats with fall-themed messages and designs. Layer a more oversized, decorative rug with a smaller coir mat to add texture and personality to your porch. It's an easy and affordable way to set the stage for your autumnal entry.
