How To Decorate A Screened-In Porch for Fall
Fall is the perfect time for entertaining and decorating the screened-in porch. Therefore, I have been on the porch decorating and getting ready for our monthly supper club dinner party.
Before I knew it, one thing had led to another, and the whole porch was decorated.
I thought I’d take you on a little tour of how I decorated this year.
If you love pumpkins, you will love how I decorated the shiplap tree for fall.
In addition, cooler evenings require lots of throw blankets and comfy seating.
So let’s take a quick look at this year’s Fall Porch.

What is a Screened Porch?
Y’all, I’ve wanted a screened porch for years, and I made it a priority to have a large one when we built the farmhouse.
I’ve had sunrooms in two of my previous homes and loved the climate control of those rooms. However, there’s nothing like feeling the breeze on a screened-in porch.
A screened porch is a covered, open-air structure that allows the air to circulate but keeps the critters away.
It’s like being on a covered porch, but you don’t need bug repellant.
I spend as much time as possible on our porch. Rudy particularly loves being on the screened porch.
The second the door opens, he is out there.

Screened-In Porch Decorating the Cozy Seating Area
The front of the screened-in porch is filled with comfortable seating, which includes burnt orange pillows and a brightly colored comfy throw blanket, creating a warm and inviting area to watch the sunset.
This area has a panoramic view of the three ponds in front of the farmhouse.
When planning the construction, I originally wanted a fireplace on the porch. However, it was cost prohibitive, so we didn’t add it.
We are glad we didn’t add the fireplace after the fact because we love the unobstructed view of the ponds.
In addition to the view, I added foraged grapevine with twinkle lights around the top of the screened area. The subdued lighting makes the porch magical at night.

Family Treasures
The handmade wrought iron coffee table is a treasured piece of furniture that my dad made years ago. We salvaged it from the original cabin, which is now our outdoor kitchen.

For fall, I added a vintage ice cream churn, which is one of my roadside finds.
It makes a charming centerpiece filled with fall stems and grass.

The Shiplap Tree
This is the first year I’ve used the DIY Shiplap Tree on the screened-in porch to decorate for fall.
My husband initially built the tree as a Christmas tree. However, I’ve been decorating it for spring and Easter for the past few years.

This year, I added some pinecones painted copper, some dried corn stalks, and faux white pumpkins to the shiplap boards.

The screened porch is adjacent to the front porch, and you can see the DIY Corn Stalks Garland added to the porch swing. I’ll be sharing a full front porch tour once it cools down and I can safely buy pumpkins and mums.
More cozy seating with warm throw blankets surrounds the seating area inside the screened room.

Screened Porch Dining Area
The back area of the screened porch includes the dining area, where we love to entertain.
The baker’s rack is filled with fall decor; however, it serves double duty as a serving station when we have guests.
The vintage ice box holds extra dishes and glasses for our upcoming Supper Club Dinner Party.

I couldn’t resist sharing a glimpse of the dining table.
It is filled with rustic tableware for our upcoming chowderfest virtual supper club dinner party. You can see the full table setting on Thursday!

I hope you enjoyed today’s tour, and I look forward to sharing more porch decor ideas in the next few weeks.

It looks beautiful! Can’t wait for dinner!
Stacy,
Thanks so much.
Love your screen porch, especially love the grapevine that goes all around! So many wonderful ideas, thanks for sharing!
Carmen,
I’m so glad you like it. Thanks for stopping by.
It is beautiful and when you add in your viewsโฆ.WOW! I have a small screened porch that I use a lot as well (I just ate breakfast out here). My hubby built me a tree similar to yours and I put it up in September and it stays up through EasterโฆI have so much fun decorating it. I have to ask..what is your tree sitting in? It almost looks like one of those green egg grills but canโt really tell. Thanks for sharing your home!
Cindi,
The tree sits in a large cast iron pot. I call it the witches pot. LOL. It’s very old and I love filling it with the tree.
I have always wanted a screened porch since we had one in my childhood home but was talked out of the idea when I was told how much maintenance and since we are retired our home was chosen for simple upkeep. But I love to look at other homes with these porche s and yours is just so pretty for fall.We have two dogs who would just love the view from your couch. Enjoy this beautiful time of year.
Kathy,
I can understand. We cover our porch during the winter and early spring to keep the pollen out. It was the worst. Thanks so much for stopping by.
I love the screened porch decorations. The tree was awesome. You do such a beautiful job with everything you touch.
Deborah,
I appreciate your kind compliments and encouragement. Thanks for stopping by.
Rachel, love all the natural elements! Your porch is fabulous too. My terrific husband built us a wooden gazebo that is fun to dine and entertain with. I am hoping to incorporate a few of your decorating ideas there for Fall. You have great taste and do things I like too. Thank you for sharing, looking forward to what is next!
Sandi,
I appreciate your sweet compliments and words of encouragement.
Enjoy that gazebo. I know it’s wonderful.
I don’t know how you keep up with decorating so many porches! They are all so cozy and inviting. Plus they all have such fantastic views! I’m not sure I’d leave the screened in porch during fall and winter. All I’d need is a mini fridge and a bed! ๐
Cindy,
I’m here most days. I love it. Thanks so much.
@Rachel,
I love your home and all the touches you have added; but I must say your porches
are my very favorite. Love the tree and that it is in the cast iron pot. Am planning to use that idea but I’ll try to find a large plastic pot as don’t know know what happened to
my granny’s cast iron pot she used years ago.
Blessings,
Oh I appreciate your sweet compliments. Yes, those old pots can be pricey these days.
Gorgeous, my friend. The perfect place to enjoy Fall. Hugs and blessings to you.

I pinned so many pictures from this post, Rachel! I love all the touches of Fall you have scattered throughout your screened-in porch. It all looks so warm and inviting. Plus, I’m totally obsessed with your tree. Gah-your creativity seriously knows no bounds! Hugs, CoCo
CoCo,
You are so kind. I’m glad you like the tree. It’s a favorite of mine.
Congratulations Rachel, your porch was a very popular post this week and will be featured on the Fabulous Friday Link Party this week!
