Designing the Perfect Fall Porch for Your Home Style

No two homes are the same — and that’s the fun of seasonal design. The best fall porches reflect both your architecture and your personality. At Porch Gourds, we start every design by asking one simple question: What feeling do you want people to have when they walk up to your door?

For modern homes, stick to a clean, symmetrical layout and a neutral color palette. Whites, creams, and soft greens look timeless and pair beautifully with stone or black trim.

For mountain or rustic homes, go big on texture. Combine hay bales, lanterns, wood crates, and mixed-size pumpkins for that cozy, lived-in feel that makes fall so irresistible in Durango.

For classic cottages or farmhouses, lean into warmth. Orange pumpkins, cornstalks, and wreaths instantly make your entryway feel nostalgic and welcoming.

No matter your style, the goal is the same — balance. Mix large and small pumpkins, light and dark colors, and different heights to create flow and visual interest.

Whether you prefer simple or statement-making, our Porch Gourds team designs displays that feel personal, natural, and perfectly you.
