As important as they are, remember that pumpkins rot. Keep that in mind. There are many ways to keep them from rotting. For example, by applying petroleum jelly. If it is too bothersome for you, just use artificial pumpkins for your outdoor fall decor instead.
Introduce Contrast

What is the easiest to make a porch more noticeable and attractive? The answer is introducing contrast. The most common contrast is black and white. It is common for a good reason. The combination is foolproof and applicable to most decor styles. Yes, including even the outdoor decor for fall.
A black and white porch is of course not enough. By itself, it looks good. But if there isn’t any accent, the theme of the decor is not set and wouldn’t be as attractive if it has accents. This decor here is a prime example of a black and white porch with fall-inspired decorations. Looks so pretty, doesn’t it?
If you work with black and white, don’t be afraid to add a few accent colors, especially ones that look bright and noticeable. Such additions will balance and beautify the space.
Clean and Bright

Going for a clean and bright outdoor fall decor is not that bad of an idea too. If anything, it makes a good set up for the outdoor decor for fall. Since it is clean and bright, the next thing you need to do is to add pumpkins, a bunch of flowers, and a pair of candlelight. That will be enough to set the mood.
Another great thing about a clean and bright decor is how pleasant to the eyes it is. It certainly looks attractive and inviting, but it appears so without looking superfluous. Rather, it does so subtly. Compared to the rest on the list, this decor is among the most versatile outdoor fall decor ideas.
All the Small Things

Many of the previous out outdoor decor for fall incorporates large and sizable decorations. What you should know is that it is not a must. You can still get the intended fall vibe using smaller decorations, as the decor here demonstrates.
Notice how the decor doesn’t have large pumpkins. Even the wreath on the front door is small too. Yet, thanks to these small things, you can just feel the vibe of the season. Looking spacious and airy is another bonus of using small decorations.
Elaborate Entrance

Lastly, an outdoor fall decor with an elaborate entrance. You can already see how appealing this entrance is. It is not the only interesting thing about it, of course. The elaborate styling, the vibrant colors all around, the dramatic front door, and pots with colorful flowers are also interesting as well.
For the night, you can add lighting on either or both sides of the wall. Want to make it a bit fancier? Add string lights on the staircase and let flow from above to below. Pick dim lighting, not a bright one.
