How to Make Any Front Door Warm and Welcoming for Fall

So you have a big beautiful front porch and nothing to put on it.

Or maybe what you have is more akin to a stoop or a balcony—semantics, really. Usually a bare entryway is totally acceptable, except during the most festive time of the year: fall.
If the cool, crisp weather has got you in the mood to decorate every inch of your house, start with the welcoming area. After all, it's the one place everyone sees and it really sets the tone for how cheery it will be once inside. You can go full out with an elaborate, thematic doorway situation, or you can invest in one or two cute pieces to spruce up the vibe.
