Fall is a celebration. It\u2019s the celebration of a successful summer growing season with a much anticipated reward \u2013 a bountiful harvest.<\/p>\n

So it\u2019s no surprise that our autumn-themed outdoor decorations reflect this.<\/p>\n

In autumn, we show off our pumpkin and gourd collections, and we decorate with warm colors.<\/p>\n

We link to vendors to help you find relevant products. If you buy from one of our links,\u00a0<\/em>we may earn a commission<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Many of us love to bring all of this together in charming arrangements in our yards and gardens, and on our front porches.<\/p>\n

Whatever type of outdoor space you are decorating this autumn, you\u2019ll probably want to include the standard harvest season decorations like hay bales and pumpkins.<\/p>\n

But don\u2019t forget other types of decor you can use to create a warm and cozy seasonal scene.<\/p>\n

Pumpkins<\/h2>\n

Hmm, what to decorate with for autumn? Pumpkins? Well, of course!<\/p>\n

Decorating with pumpkins isn\u2019t limited to Halloween<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n
\"A\"A<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

This is the time of year when we gardening fanatics harvest our bumper crops of pumpkins, winter squash<\/strong><\/a>, and gourds<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

With their earthy autumn colors, they don\u2019t just taste good in a pie, they\u2019re also extraordinarily attractive.<\/p>\n

If we\u2019ve had a green thumb year, there\u2019s a big pile in many shapes and colors to show off.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Concrete\"Concrete<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

They make great decorations \u2013 arranged elegantly on a front porch, spilling out of an old rustic wagon, or lining your front steps.<\/p>\n

You can use different shapes and sizes to create an attractive centerpiece on a patio table, or add a pop of fall color outside a shed. Try hollowing one out to hold a dried flower arrangement.<\/p>\n

If you have been in the habit of buying your pumpkin porch decor, next year, why not try growing your own?<\/p>\n

\u2018Turk\u2019s Turban\u2019<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

You can get seeds for the colorful and intriguing \u2018Turk\u2019s Turban\u2019 winter squash variety at True Leaf Market<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Wreaths<\/h2>\n

A wreath designed with the colors, textures, and bounty of autumn can grace a front or back door, decorate a potting shed, or brighten up a gate.<\/p>\n

\n
\"A\"A<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

While many commercially available wreaths are made of plastic, when your own yard is full of natural plants ripe for the picking, it\u2019s very easy to make your own.<\/p>\n

Create your own seasonal wreath with vines, dried seed heads, foliage, and berries.<\/p>\n

Pick colors that suit your autumn mood, and use pine cones or miniature gourds for added texture.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for something that says fall in a unique way that\u2019s ready for hanging, this wonderful Autumn Harvest wreath from Terrain might be just the thing.<\/p>\n

\n

Autumn Harvest Preserved Wreath<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

It is made entirely of dried natural materials such as wheat and salal, all in warm autumnal shades, and is available via Terrain<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fairies<\/h2>\n

Don\u2019t forget to decorate your fairy garden for the season. Colorful leaves, dried seed pods, and bittersweet will add a touch of color and autumnal whimsy.<\/p>\n

Use miniature pumpkins, gourds<\/strong><\/a>, or winter squash in creative ways to accentuate that autumn flavor.<\/p>\n

\n
\"A\"A<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

If you\u2019ve always wanted to create a fairy garden but haven\u2019t gotten around to it, starting with a carved full-sized pumpkin<\/a><\/strong> to create a fairy house might be just the motivation you need to dive into this fun hobby.<\/p>\n

Let your imagination guide the creation of your own fall-themed fairy garden.<\/p>\n

Trellises and Arbors<\/h2>\n

Moving from the miniature view to the big picture, don\u2019t forget about large structures like trellises and arbors that help define spaces in your yard, showing off the seasonal colors of your plantings.<\/p>\n

\n
\"A\"A<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

These supports can play important landscaping roles all year long.<\/p>\n

And at this time of year they will surely create atmosphere while displaying the bright red and orange colors of your Virginia creeper<\/a><\/strong> or grapevine, or a string of fairy lights.<\/p>\n

You can find arbors made primarily of wood or metal.<\/p>\n

Wrought iron is a sturdy and timeless choice that can also add to the spookiness factor if Halloween decorating is your thing.<\/p>\n

Straw Bales<\/h2>\n

Bales of straw are a standard feature in fall outdoor decor. They make a great backdrop for your potted chrysanthemums, pumpkins, and harvest displays.<\/p>\n

In front or back yards, and on porches and patios, straw bales add texture and a sense of warmth, bringing the harvest home.<\/p>\n

\n
\"A\"A<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Straw bales can also be a destination unto themselves.<\/p>\n

A straw bale can serve as an impromptu outdoor bench, where you can spend an afternoon relaxing with a warm wool blanket and your favorite gardening book<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Try making a cozy nook out of three straw bales. Stacked on top of each other, they can create a rustic outdoor table for serving coffee and cake.<\/p>\n

Outdoor Lanterns<\/h2>\n

If your outdoor leisure keeps you in the yard after dark, don\u2019t forget to add a little additional lighting for the season.<\/p>\n

Lanterns will help create a festive atmosphere, or just help guide the way.<\/p>\n

\n
\"A\"A<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

You can go with a DIY homemade lantern \u2013 just place some battery-powered string lights inside a mason jar. I also like to fill a large vase with acorns and string lights for an autumnal touch.<\/p>\n

It only takes a little light to make the night feel warmer.<\/p>\n

Another option is to go solar.<\/p>\n

There are plenty of solar lanterns available at Wayfair<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
