Transform your pergola into a spooky hideout with cobwebs, little plastic bats flying above, and if you’re feeling very fun, pergolas are the best space for adding festive lights. Hang some orange lights and some delicious apple cider for the perfect fall vibe right under the pergola. Bonus points if you add a six foot skeleton standing next to your new spooky pergola.
- Pumpkins All Around: Whether you go all out with fall décor this year or in the years to come, adding a pumpkin or two around your space is a great way to add a pop of color and brighten the mood for any space. This can look like adding gorgeous pumpkins to your front porch area for a classic fall look or creating an elegant center piece for your table in your outdoor kitchen for beautiful entertaining. Adding some pumpkins are a surefire way to bring the feeling of cozy fall to your space.
- Fire Pits: Nothing spells out cozy like gathering around a fire. Fire pits in the backyard are an easy way to enjoy one of nature’s coolest elements.

Take some time to celebrate fall around the fire this season.
