3 Fabulous Fall Curb Appeal Ideas that are Simple but Effective

As the days begin to shorten and the weather gets cool and crisp, it's a great opportunity to dress up your home exterior in preparation for the cozy seasons. And what better time to boost its curb appeal.

Here are 5 tried and true fall curb appeal tips to help you enhance the charm of your New England home.

Incorporate autumn shades in seasonal plants and paint

While some summer flowers will fade by fall, there are many options to add to your gardens and pots during the autumn months. Some examples include pansies, chrysanthemums and ornamental kale. Consider rich and vibrant shades and cozy textures.

Fireworks goldenrod and New England aster can offer brighter autumn colored flowers with pops of yellow and purple. As well, stonecrop succulents will turn burgundy in fall. You can also incorporate decorative planters on the porch and along your pathway.

In autumn, elegant planters filled with autumn-blooming plants or grasses can create a warm texture for top-notch curb appeal.

You can play with colors using the same shades or complementary shades with paint trim as well. If you happen to have shutters or a door that is painted in a shade that leans more spring or summer, adding a fresh coat of deep brown, orange or red can do wonders for your autumn-inspired curb appeal.

Doll up your doorways with wreaths and garlands

If you already have a summer wreath, one with light pastel colors and delicate flowers, your curb appeal will be enhanced and feel more rooted in time and place if you switch it up for a fall wreath. Think warm, rustic, rich tones. You can look for grapevines, pine cones, cotton stems, dried flowers, and berries to really set the mood.

Embrace cozy porch touches

Not all porches are just an entrance point. Often they're used for gathering and spending quality time with family and guests. If you have the space and desire to use your porch as a sitting area, you'll have plenty of opportunity to add cozy textile touches that create a lovely fall curb appeal.

Consider adding furniture for sitting, like a swing, a rocking chair, a comfy bench or chair, along with a side table for toasty beverages to share with friends. With that, you can add cushions and perhaps even a rug in autumn shades and patterns like darker florals and plaid.

In your gathering nook, don't forget lighting details to add a warm impression for visitors.

As you incorporate autumn shades in plants and paint to your yard and home exterior, add wreaths and garlands to your porch, and cozy up your porch with fall-style textiles, you can help make your house pop and feel relevant to the classic traditions and trends of the fall
season.
