With the arrival of fall, the rich, warm colors of the season provide a perfect backdrop for creating a cozy and inviting front porch.

I'm sharing a few fun ideas for elevating your fall decor with a special focus on three of our best-selling fall doormats: 'Hello Fall,' 'Custom Last Name Pumpkin Patch Doormat,' and 'Hey Pumpkin.' We'll also explore how to choose a coordinating doormat layering rug to complete the look.

The Doormat: The Perfect Greeting

When it comes to setting the mood for your front porch decor this fall, your choice of doormat plays a pivotal role.

Layering Rugs: Adding Depth and Comfort

To take your front porch decor to the next level, consider layering a coordinating rug beneath your doormat. Layering rugs add depth, texture, and a cozy feel to your porch, making it look and feel more inviting. Here are some tips for choosing the right layering rug:

• Color Coordination: Select a layering rug that complements the colors of your chosen doormat. For the fall season, earthy tones like rust, deep red, and olive green work well. These colors create a harmonious look that evokes the spirit of autumn.

• Texture Matters: Opt for a rug with a different texture than your doormat. For example, if your doormat is made of coir or has a rough surface, a soft and plush layering rug will provide an interesting contrast and add a touch of luxury.

• Size and Shape: The layering rug should be slightly larger than your doormat to create a frame effect. 

Additional Fall Decor Touches

To complete your cozy fall front porch, add some additional decor elements:

• Pumpkins and Gourds: Scatter a few pumpkins and gourds around your doorstep. Their warm colors and rustic charm will enhance your fall theme.

• Wreaths: Hang a fall-themed wreath on your front door. Whether it's made of leaves, twigs, or faux flowers, a wreath adds a charming touch. Here are some of my favorites from Amazon! Click image to see more!

• Candles and Lanterns: Create a warm, inviting atmosphere with candles and lanterns. They not only look great but also provide ambient lighting as the days get shorter. Here are a few tried and true Amazon favorites! Click any image to shop!
