Halloween Porch Decor Ideas with Pumpkins, Mums and Lanterns
Pumpkins, planters, a little glow. Spooky enough for the kids. Easy to un-spook on Nov. 1.
Start with the porch you have: a few real pumpkins, one or two mum planters, and lanterns that leave the steps clear. Put the tallest pieces beside the door and keep the walking path wide enough for kids, strollers, and anyone carrying a costume prop the size of a small person.
