When you think of fall, what comes to mind? Crisp air, golden leaves, the aroma of pumpkin spice, and cozy evenings surrounded by warm hues and charming decor. This year, God is giving us an extra nudge with abnormally cool temperatures arriving earlier than usual—making this the perfect time to embrace the outdoors and deck your spaces with fall’s seasonal charm.
Photo Vignette: Why not set up an adorable photo vignette for your friends and neighbors? A few years ago we bout several bales of Straw and stacked them to add seating and layers for pumpkins and mums. We LOVE pumpkin time, and this photo was taken at a pumpkin patch near our home in Kansas. However, we set up a vignette for our friends to use that was similar and it was adorable!
The Unexpected Gift of Early Cool Weather - Getting Started on Outdoor Fall Decorating
Typically, fall decor time coincides with a gentle dip in temperatures, signaling the transition from summer’s heat to autumn’s embrace. But this year, those cooler-than-normal days have arrived ahead of schedule, wrapping us in a refreshing chill that awakens the senses and inspires action.
Instead of pushing off your outdoor decorating, now’s the ideal time to dive in. With sun-kissed days still lingering but cool evenings already coaxing you to bundle up, your porch, patio, and garden spaces are prime for an early-season refresh.
Window Box Refresh:
Update your window boxes with some inexpensive silk flowers and scarecrow picks from Hobby Lobby. Hobby Lobby stocks the most adorable scarecrows every year. I bought these a year ago, and forgot all about them till I cleaned out my closet a month ago. But they are inexpensive and cute - a combination I love!
Why Decorating Early Makes a Difference
Maximize Enjoyment of Your Outdoor Spaces: Cooler weather means spending more time outside becomes more inviting. Imagine sipping a warm drink on your porch, surrounded by pumpkins, gourds, cozy blankets, and flickering lanterns, all set against the backdrop of autumn’s crisp air.
Beat the Rush: With temperatures turning cool earlier, you won’t be alone in your motivation. Starting now means you can enjoy a relaxed and unrushed decorating experience, avoiding the last-minute scramble everyone else faces when the weather drops suddenly. Cool Temperatures will Inspire Fall Outdoor Decor Ideas!
Fall Outdoor Firepit Seating Ideas Outdoor Fire Pit Seating:We used another five bales of straw to create cozy seating around our fire pit. We had a gorgeous outdoor fireplace beside our pool, but this was set up for a western theme birthday party, and helped to break up the expanse of pavement that was our driveway. Add a few old quilts, a few pumpkins, and a smore's bar, and you have a very inexpensive neighborhood hangout spot.
Let Those Cool Temperatures Inspire Fall Outdoor Decor Ideas Tips for Outdoor Fall Decor in Early Cool Weather
Layer Textures and Warm Tones: Think rustic wood, burlap, and deep oranges, reds, and yellows. These textures and colors not only bring warmth but also complement the natural fall setting enhanced by the cool air.
Incorporate Natural Elements: Use corn stalks, pumpkins, pinecones, and dried flowers. These elements withstand early cool snaps beautifully and help create a natural, welcoming look.
Light It Up: With earlier sunsets in fall, string lights, lanterns, and candles add warmth and ambiance, making your outdoor haven inviting even as the chill sets in.
Create Cozy Corners: Add pillows and throws made from weather-resistant materials to your seating areas. This ensures comfort and encourages longer stays outside.
Savor the Season, Start Early These cool temperatures aren't just a sign of changing weather—they're a fantastic motivator to jump-start your fall outdoor decor. Embrace the opportunity to savor the beauty and comfort of autumn on your doorstep, making every moment outside memorable and magical.
