As the golden days of summer slowly fade away, there's a bittersweet feeling of bidding farewell to lazy afternoons and sun-kissed adventures. But, just like the leaves gracefully falling from the trees, we must let go of summer to embrace the crisp and coolness of fall.

And what better place to welcome this change than to your own porch? With a few simple steps, you can transform your outdoor haven into a cozy retreat that perfectly captures the essence of the season.

Step 1: Clear Out and Clean Up

Begin your porch revival journey by giving your space a thorough clean-up using natural cleaning solutions. Sweep away the remnants of summer and create a fresh canvas for your fall transformation.

Wipe down surfaces with eco-friendly cleaners like vinegar and water or lemon juice and baking soda. Shake out the cushions and freshen them up with a sprinkle of baking soda before vacuuming.

Clear away any clutter that accumulated over the season, and consider donating or recycling items you no longer need to keep your porch sustainable and clutter-free.

Step 2: Find Your Signature Scent For A Warm Welcome 

Infuse the air with the inviting scents of fall using a scent that's personable to you. Choosing your signature scent for the season is a personal touch that defines who you are. It's about creating memorable experiences for your guests, as they'll remember your home by the unique fragrance that welcomes them.

Will it be the comforting notes of Ginger Pumpkin or the warm embrace of Blondewood?

Step 3: Cozy Seating and Textures

Introduce layers of warmth by swapping out lightweight cushions for plush, textured ones. Add throw blankets in rich earthy tones and rustic patterns, inviting you to snuggle up as you enjoy the crisp outdoor breeze.

To take your porch revival to the next level, consider spraying your signature scent on these cozy additions, so they exude the best parts of fall. A fantastic choice for this is our Pear Cider spray, with its notes of fresh pear, ripe apples, and fall spices. It's like wrapping yourself in the essence of a pear orchard on a cool autumn day.

Arrange seating in a way that encourages conversation and relaxation – think comfy chairs paired with a small table for hot cocoa or spiced cider.

Step 4: Candlelit Ambiance

As the sun sets earlier, create a magical ambiance with candles, which play a big role in capturing the essence of fall. However, not all candles are created equal. Traditional candles often conceal a host of toxins and synthetic fragrances, leaving you in the dark about what you're truly breathing in.

That's why we're proud to offer candles like our Woodland Sage or Ginger Pumpkin – 100% plant-based, nontoxic, and fully transparent about our ingredients.

These candles not only add a touch of luxury but also infuse your porch with the perfect fall fragrance, all while keeping your space safe for families and pets. Place them strategically on tables to illuminate your space with a warm, flickering glow.

Step 5: Fall Foliage and Seasonal Accents

Harness the beauty of nature by incorporating fall foliage into your porch decor. Display potted mums, pumpkins, and gourds to infuse vibrant colors and a touch of rustic charm. Create a cozy corner with a haystack or bales of straw, adorned with plaid blankets and cushions for added comfort.

And here's a unique extra step to elevate your porch's autumn ambiance – spray your faux or fabric decorations with our air + fabric spray. It's not just for fabrics; it works for your decorative items like faux flowers too!

Try it with our Apple Pomander spray, boasting notes of fresh apple, ripe pear, and cinnamon spices, to add an extra layer of seasonal delight to your porch.
