With proper appointing, the backyard can remain a central hub throughout the fall. Here’s five easy ways to boost any backyard to please buyers, while simultaneously transitioning it from summer to fall.
From Summer Blues to Harvest Hues
Say goodbye to vibrant petals – and hello to burgundy blooms!
Beautiful summer flowers have long since wilted, however that doesn’t mean plants are off-limits until spring. It’s time to transition into seasonally appropriate plants – you know, the ones that are prepared for cooler nights yet still frame a back door with a pop of color. Pansies and garden mums are notorious for surviving signs of winter weather so they’re both stylish and practical. Feeling creative? Consider stacking this inexpensive wooden plant ladder with fresh herbs or fall flowers.
Find the best seat in the house
Comfortable nooks tend to be more desirable than sterile sitting parlors – that’s a given – so provide your backyard with that cozy versatility. Draping machine-washable throw blankets over outdoor seating works as an invitation to curl up. And exchanging bold-colored summer pillows for durable outdoor pillows in shades like burgundy and burnt-orange, as well as classic plaids, fosters a cabin-like feeling.
Gather ’round the fire

To make a backyard seem like a place to lounge and play, include games and entertainment that double as decor. Cornhole is a great addition to the yard throughout the fall and it shows opportunity for people to engage with the outdoor space. Additionally, having a pair of binoculars sitting decoratively on a table or hanging on a hook encourages star-gazing on a crisp autumn night. These playful touches give the backyard character and show it’s a gathering place.
Hang vintage bulbs for a modern feel
Who would have guessed that those oversized, old-fashioned light bulbs would come back in style – for patio fashion! Weather-proof string lights are now a staple for cultivating an attractive backyard during the day or night. Accent lights set the atmosphere, generating a starry-ambiance and providing ample extra lighting on especially dark nights. These lights can wrap around porch railings, weave through a pergola or simply hang in the air.
