How to Decorate Your Front Door for Autumn: Cosy, Cottagecore & Halloween Inspo

The front door is where autumn begins. Here’s how to turn yours into the coziest corner of the neighbourhood.

1. Start with a Seasonal Wreath
Use dried leaves, eucalyptus, mini pumpkins, pinecones — or buy one in rich oranges and browns.

2. Layer Your Doormats
A plaid rug under a “Hey Pumpkin” doormat? Instant charm.

3. Add Potted Plants
Mums, ornamental cabbages, or mini conifers in rustic baskets.

4. Stack the Pumpkins
Use different sizes and colours — whites, oranges, even greens. Keep them asymmetrical for that natural vibe.

5. Hang Fairy Lights or Lanterns
Battery-operated warm fairy lights tucked around wreaths or railings add soft magic.

6. Add a Personal Touch
A small sign with your family name, a chalkboard greeting, or a seasonal quote.

Optional: Halloween Twist
Add witchy brooms, a black cat statue, or subtle cobwebs on Halloween weekend.

Your front door is the smile of your home. Let it glow with autumn energy and invite the magic in.
