A Look Back at Shea’s Fall Front Porches of the Past
Contents
As the leaves change, so does our excitement levels for the season that lies ahead. And every year we wait anxiously to see how Shea styles her front porch for the fall.
To get ready for the future season, we thought we’d take a look at the past, or at least past porch looks from the McGee Home. Here are some of our favorite fall front porches of past years.
01
Shades of Brown
This fall front porch decor blends autumn charm with a touch of Halloween elegance, creating a warm and inviting seasonal entryway. A garland of golden fall foliage drapes gracefully over the arched black door, framing a harvest wreath accented with faux cobwebs and a rich burgundy ribbon. On each side, potted evergreens wrapped in spiderwebs stand tall, while clusters of heirloom pumpkins in soft white, sage green, and muted orange spill across the steps. Pops of deep red mums bring bold color, and jack-o’-lanterns paired with black crows add a whimsical Halloween front porch touch. This layered, nature-inspired front porch styling is perfect for anyone looking to create a cozy, seasonal curb appeal for fall decorating ideas that transition seamlessly from October into Thanksgiving.

Foraged Branches
This fall front porch decor embraces a natural, minimalist style perfect for autumn curb appeal. A collection of heirloom pumpkins in soft white, muted sage, and slate blue tones are artfully arranged along the stone steps, paired with black metal outdoor lanterns holding oversized candles for a warm, inviting glow. A simple seasonal wreath on the black front door adds a pop of deep autumn color, while potted greenery and a small tree with golden fall leaves bring in organic texture. This timeless front porch styling blends neutral fall decor with cozy seasonal touches, creating an elegant entryway that transitions seamlessly from early fall decorating to Thanksgiving porch ideas.
Fall Florals
This woven planter is filled with greens and crimsons—Timeless Treasure Heuchera, Midnight Rose Heuchera, Blackbeard Penstemon, Onyx and Pearls Penstemon, Vinca, and Creeping Wire Vine.

Pastel Pumpkins
The fall season is usually all about deep crimsons, oranges, and browns. We love how Shea designed this porch of the past with an array of pastels for a lighter take on seasonal styling. A simple welcome mat pairing finishes the understated look.
04
Wovens & Rattans
Utilizing a more muted palette, Shea’s front porch this season is all about creams and earth tones. This fall front porch was one of our favorites with an assortment of plants displayed flanking the door in rattan baskets and a woven welcome mat with muted colors. The addition of the garland was an unexpected take on a decor element traditionally reserved for the holidays.
It’s also about trying something different. “This year we went with a garland over the door and I’m loving this fresh perspective,” says Shea. “Yes, we’ve got pumpkins and mums, but we did it in a new way.” An assortment of potted greens completes the look. It’s an elevated approach to fall front porch décor that we’re loving.
05
Taking Flight
This porch of the past is most closely aligned with fall’s favorite holiday, Halloween. We love how Shea approached spooky styling without bringing on too much kitsch. The bats taking flight are a fun way to welcome guests into your home.
