They are plenty of great additional changes you can make to easily get your patio looking ready for fall. For these details, read our list here.

With the summer waning down, the crisp season of autumn is approaching. Just because it is cooler does not mean there will not be plenty of nice weather to still enjoy the outdoors. Fall is one of the best times to enjoy your outside living space with family and friends. There are some great tips to transform your patio to enjoy the autumn nights easily and practically. Here, we will discuss how to get your patio ready for fall.

Hang Up Some New Lights

Adding some lights with a warm tinge will complement the season and give your patio a more festive feel. Look for some orange, red, or purple lights, and then string them up over your gathering space. Lanterns also make a great addition to some special fall lighting.

Change Around Your Plants

Consider the color scheme you want around your patio to go with the feeling of autumn. Swapping out your old plants from the summer will help change the atmosphere of your outdoor space. You can switch over from geraniums, petunias, and lobelias to chrysanthemum, pansies, and goldenrods. If you have orange and red mums, you can accent them with purple-toned grasses. If you want some plants in a deep red, add some dark leaves. You can also place different sized arrangements not only around your patio but also along your front steps and porch.

Deck Out Your Patio Furniture

Look around, and you will be able to find some inexpensive decorative pillows that you can add to your patio furniture, completing that fall look. There are also great options for sling patio furniture—you can get inexpensive replacement slings in autumn colors. Swap out the summer greens and nautical stripes for some fall orange and reds.

Make Sure to Add Some Pumpkins

Nothing adds to the feeling of fall like pumpkins and some decorative gourds. These are one of the easiest and most fun ways to give your patio a fall makeover. Place them near your chairs, and don’t forget to have some in varying sizes. If you prefer some color variety, add a few that are white and green into the mix.
