As leaves turn golden and the air turns crisp, your home’s exterior is ready for a seasonal style upgrade — and Gravina’s® is here to help you get creative. With just a few thoughtful touches and a little DIY flair, your windows, doors, siding, and porch can showcase fall charm while remaining functional and Colorado-tough. Let’s get festive!
Windows: Frame the Season Beautifully
Your windows might be practical for views and ventilation, but they’re also perfect for showcasing a little personality through fall textures, colors, and light. For fixed windows or large bay and bow styles, you can layer seasonal wreaths, garlands, or miniature pumpkins and gourds along the inside ledge.
For operable windows like double-hung, sliders, or casement styles, less is more. Hang a few strands of dried orange slices or soft fabric bunting in an orange, red, and/or yellow color scheme for a warm touch that won’t block light or airflow. Want a clean look with impact? Use window-safe adhesive decals featuring autumn motifs, such as acorns, pinecones, or leaves, that catch the sunlight during the day and look just as cute at night (bonus points if they glow in the dark).
Doors: Make an Entrance with Fall Flair
Front doors are the main event this season. A textured wreath made of dried corn husks, pampas grass, or mini gourds adds instant charm and pairs well with a door color that pops. Think deep red, orange, yellow, navy blues, eggplant, and olive greens. Consult The Pioneer Woman’s seasonal ideas to get started on creating your own unique, seasonal wreath before the wave of spooky season starts.
Layer up with a coir doormat that brings some personality, and frame the space with potted mums or rustic crates filled with straw and pumpkins. If you have a sliding patio door in the back, echo the vibe with matching planters or a hanging light-up garland to carry the theme through.
Want to switch things up? Try an asymmetrical door display with decor that wraps one side or trails upward. It works exceptionally well on sidelights and wider entryways, and gives a modern edge to classic fall elements.
Siding: Add Personality Without Punching Holes
Your siding deserves some spotlight too — but with care. Avoid anything that requires nails or heavy adhesive. Instead, lean on temporary, lightweight accents that add character without damaging your materials.
Command hooks, weather-enduring tape, and siding clips make it easy to hang lanterns, banners, or grapevine garlands filled with eucalyptus and pinecones. If your siding is a neutral tone, warm autumn hues like burnt orange, mustard, and crimson will add that real pop of color. Prefer a minimal aesthetic? Stick with greenery and black lanterns for a timeless vibe that can shift into holiday mode with just a few swaps.
Working with lap siding or vertical paneling? Use the lines to guide your arrangement and keep everything feeling intentional to avoid a cluttered appearance.
Porch Vibes: Cozy, Cute, and Colorado-Ready
A welcoming porch doesn’t need much. A clean sweep, a few seasonal touches, and some ambient lighting go a long way. Try out hanging twinkle or bulb strands, oversized lanterns, or a small stack of firewood for that cabin-in-the-woods charm.
Bench cushions in plaid or chunky knits bring comfort, while blankets and throws in a basket hint at chilly evenings just around the corner.
This is also an ideal time to check thresholds, seals, and trim. If your front door’s feeling drafty or your porch windows look a little tired, we can help you make fall upgrades. Here’s our fall inspection checklist guide to help you stay aware of key items to look out for.
