Remember that front door basket hanger I shared last week? The one stuffed with branches and that cheeky crow? Today I’m back with more of my friend’s gorgeous country home, this time we’re moving past the door and out onto her patio.
Picture trees all around, primitive early-American style, and the coziest fall touches!
Simple Porch Decor with Big Impact
Her little bench and table setup was begging for some love. A few pumpkins here, a couple of mums there and boom….. instant autumn sitting area that feels both styled and lived-in.
The best part?
You can recreate this with whatever outdoor seating you already have.
Bench, rocker, or even a couple of mismatched chairs add a pumpkin or two and you’re golden.
Fast Fall Decor: Pumpkin & Wreath
One of my favorite tricks?
Nestle a pumpkin inside a wreath and let a little crow perch nearby.
It looks fabulous hung between the garage doors, and it’s basically a zero-effort way to say, “Yep, fall lives here.”
Back Patio Nook
Around the back, we styled a sweet little patio spot.
Add a bench, a quirky bee hive find (seriously, how cool?), and more mums.
It’s tucked away, shaded, and perfect for morning coffee or winding down at night!
Front View Recap
And here’s a peek back at the front from last week’s share. All the pieces tie together, the basket hanger, pumpkins and wreath ….so it feels like one cohesive fall story!
Quick Takeaways
- Keep it simple: One basket, a pumpkin, and mums go a long way.
- Mix seating + decor: Add pumpkins or mums to a bench or chair you already own.
- Think beyond the door: Garage accents, back patios, even tucked-away nooks deserve a little fall touch.
- Use what you’ve got: Old baskets, last year’s faux crow, or even branches from the yard.

This is so simple and adorable! The best part of it is the crow decoration and, of course, the beautiful bench! Where can I buy a similar one? I’m going to antique stores like every week, but I didn’t see anything like this and I don’t even know how is this style called… (Do we have the same kind of shops? and are full of stylish but also kitschy stuff. I bought there my favourite wooden table…). Thank you for your help! 🙂
