lthough the nights have gotten a little longer—and a bit brisker—relaxing in the great outdoors isn’t quite over yet. We’re all about these golden autumn days and crisp nights sipping our favorite spiced drink under piles of blankets.
Are you ready to fully embrace fall and bring a fresh feel to your open spaces? Then you’re going to love this week’s Instagram-inspired trends for your porch, garden, and balcony. These buzzy looks are all about seasonal inspiration from the coziest snuggle spots to extravagant once-in-a-lifetime buys.
So check out the five fabulous decor ideas that are filling our dreams this week.
1. Black and white porch-scapes
“A black and white design for your porch looks clean and ultramodern,” says Andra DelMonico, lead designer for Trendey. “It’s perfect for someone who doesn’t like the rustic or overly tropical vibe that tends to overtake outdoor living spaces.”
Try it on your porch by adding white furniture with black upholstery. (Keeping black fabric fresh and clean is way easier than maintaining bright, white cushions.)
2. Piles of pumpkins
“Create a country harvest arrangement in your yard by piling a bunch of pumpkins around focal pieces like planters,” says DelMonico. “Choose pumpkins that match your fall theme.”
For instance, worn and rustic pumpkins create a farmhouse harvest feel. And metallic and porcelain pumpkins make for an elegant and upscale vibe.
3. Balcony futon
“A balcony futon combines the best of traditional outdoor furniture with the versatility of an indoor futon,” says Zac Houghton, CEO at Loftera. “It provides a place to rest with all-weather comfort and long-lasting style. This trend sets the standard for modern outdoor furnishings that offer a mix of both style and comfort.”
4. Movable hot tub
“These unique hot tubs are heated by the natural circulation of the water,” explains DelMonico. “The water flows out of the tub and into the coil where it’s heated by a fire. It then circulates back into the tub. You can easily add this style of hot tub to your backyard without having to worry about hooking up water and electricity.”
Best of all, it’s light—two people can move it under that bright night sky.
5. DIY dried bouquets
Halloween is based on the festival known as Samhain, which basically translates to “summer’s end.” So go ahead and show off the spoils from your garden with some choice DIY dried bouquets.
“Dried flowers are perfect for an outdoor fall display because they typically have muted fall colors and are relatively maintenance-free,” says DelMonico. “Add some dried flowers to your front porch or backyard dining table for that extra seasonal touch.”
Top choices for a fall arrangement include eucalyptus, broomcorn, bunny tails, and Craspedia.
