Make autumn decorations and beautify the entrance to your home with garlands made of autumn leaves and beautiful arrangements with straw, pumpkins and autumn flowers. We'll show you 30 inspiring ideas on how you can design a stylish outdoor area - these are very simple and can easily be copied even by craft beginners.
So let your creativity run wild and take a look at the inspiring suggestions.
Make a cheerful and inviting decoration from natural materials - pumpkins, for example, last a long time if they are stored in a dry room for at least 5 weeks in advance. Only then can they be hollowed out if desired or simply arranged on the terrace. Autumn leaves look great and can be quickly tied together in a garland - but the golden rule applies here too - let them dry first and only then decorate the front door with them.Autumn flowers like dahliasand chrysanthemums are not only easy to care for, they grow quickly in plant pots and bloom right from the end of August-September. The beautiful blooms will add a splash of color to the fall decorations. Small bales of straw scattered around the terrace also look naturally beautiful - and if you're feeling particularly creative, you can make a straw doll - below you'll find a video with instructions for the scarecrow.
Distribute pumpkins on the steps
And if you still have a few lanterns in the basement, you can fill them with nuts, rose hips, autumn leaves and decorative pumpkins and hang them above the entrance to the house. By the way, they can be colored gold or silver with glitter spray - so they look elegant and stylish and are guaranteed to attract everyone's attention.
Combine sunflowers and leaves for outdoor decoration
Before you simply sweep up and dispose of the colorful leaves, you can make a great door wreath from the orange-yellow leaves. Between the individual leaves you can attach chestnuts, acorns, rose hips or perhaps various flowers. The autumn leaf wreath in the picture above looks cheerful and inviting and gives the dark facade a sunny touch and a special charm. The sunflowers were also incorporated into the autumnal garland, which makes the decoration at the entrance uniform. You can use all kinds of natural materials for the wreaths. Nuts, small apples, twigs, as well as wooden discs and moss are suitable. You can either put the materials on a straw blank or Styrofoam or simply tie your wreath yourself with craft wire.
Arrangement of pumpkins and leaves
If you have no idea where the beautiful fall decoration should be placed outside, you can use common items to create a small stage specifically for your homemade works of art. Look around in the basement or attic, there may be things there that are ideal for your purposes. An old wooden stepladder, old fruit crates or a garden chair present your autumn creations in a beautiful way. You can even simply stack old wooden boxes on top of each other or turn over a zinc bucket and place the colorful, autumnal decorations on top.
Decoration idea with bales of straw
Straw bales can be used for decoration. They provide a perfect base for the remaining decorative elements and also look natural. This creates a single decoration made entirely from natural materials, which creates an entire autumn landscape in front of your apartment door. Simply scatter some autumn leaves in front of the door and create a beautiful autumnal outdoor carpet.
Beautify the outdoor area with creativity
Another idea for the garden, balcony or front door is atmospheric lighting. When the days get shorter, skilfully staged lighting creates a great and warm atmosphere. Simply place weatherproof lanterns on the stairs and choose large candles that will provide a pleasant glow for several hours. You can also use electric light sources to illuminate the outside area. If you want, you can also arrange the fairy lights in a lantern and create great lighting accents. You can create special effects with lanterns and candles in different sizes.
Beautify the outdoor area with cabbage
Pumpkins aren't just a popular choice for Halloween. They are offered throughout the fall season and enchant with different shapes and colors. The large and small pumpkins add a great splash of color to your garden. If you want to add additional color accents to the decoration, you can color the pumpkins gold or silver. Combinations of large pumpkins and small decorative pumpkins look nice. Pumpkin lanterns are also a wonderful autumnal decoration idea and are very easy to carve. The lanterns don't always have to be scary.
Cool decoration ideas for the entrance to the house
A funny, smiling face puts you in a good mood, even just when you walk by. To do this you need to remove the lid and hollow out the pumpkin. You can then use a sharp knife to cut out the eyes, nose and mouth. Triangles, spirals and other random patterns can also decorate the pumpkins. As soon as you light a tea light, the cute lantern will illuminate the autumn darkness and conjure up an autumnal ambience around you.
Decorate the entrance to the house with flowers and pumpkins
You can also create a wonderful feel-good atmosphere with beautifully decorated vases. Instead of filling the vases with fresh flowers, you can also use autumnal natural materials. Especially in autumn, sometimes the craft materials are literally on your doorstep. Pine cones, chestnuts, leaves, acorns, small twigsand beechnuts are idealfor your autumn decoration. Arrange the individual materials in the vase according to your own ideas and perhaps decorate it with an autumnal bow. Whether on the garden table, on the stairs or on benches, you will definitely find a suitable place outside where you can store your original creation.
