Put up string lights.
Many if not most of us already use Christmas lights in winter, but string lights can also add a festive touch for fall.

You can wrap your pretty selections around your plants, shrubs or pathways to add a bit of seasonal charm. Get more tips about decorating with string lights here.

Put out fall-themed planters.
One of the best ways to give your landscape a makeover is to use colorful planters. Fill a variety of containers with brilliant fall colors like burnt orange, goldenrod, brown and olive green. These can be custom arranged to complement your home and existing decor. Some of the most popular flowers and plants for fall include flowering kale, chrysanthemum, golden barberry, tequila sunrise and grape holly.

Wrap fall garlands.
Here’s another common Christmas decoration that you can adapt to other seasons! You can now get many garlands designed for the autumn months. Whether you select one made of fall leaves or greenery with harvest time accents like leaves and acorns, it’s incredibly easy to work with. You can wrap a garland around railings, along your porch, deck or doorstep. In fact, you can even create your own autumn garlands with ribbon, lights and fall accessories.

Go for bold colors.
Unlike Christmas, there really isn’t a standard set of colors for Thanksgiving or fall, but rather a wide palette of fitting hues. One benefit of this is that you can have a lot of fun choosing your favorite combinations and create an unexpected look. You might select a monochromatic color scheme, a fiery palette of oranges, reds, and golds, or a neutral scheme of browns and creams.
