Hey y’all, it’s Karol here—time to talk turkey and trendsetting aesthetics. Because your porch deserves to be as extra as your stuffing. Let’s dive into the top Thanksgiving porch-decoration trends you’ll be seeing everywhere this season.
1. Earthy Chic Over Bold Orange
Forget screaming pumpkin orange. Designers are leaning into deeper, richer palettes: forest green, terracotta, deep plum, and muted mustard. These tones feel cozy without being cookie-cutter.
2. Texture Is the New Accent
Layered textures are everything. Think woven baskets, rattan lanterns, chunky knit throws, wood crates, mixed metals, burlap—and lots of layering so your porch feels tactile and warm.
3. Statement Planters + Container Gardens
Eyes are on the ground now. Oversized urns, stacked planters, corn stalks, pampas grass, ornamental cabbage, mums, and heirloom pumpkins are all fair game. Play with height, depth, and unexpected plant combos.
4. Personal, Kitschy Touches
We’re seeing more character on front porches. One revival favorite? The porch goose—yes, that quirky lawn goose from grandma’s yard is back, and dressed up for fall and Thanksgiving.
5. Blend Indoor & Outdoor Coziness
Porches are becoming extensions of living rooms. You’ll spot outdoor rugs that match your interior, lantern lighting, soft pillows, and furniture that blurs the line between inside and outside.
6. Mixed Themes: Harvest + Holiday
Thanksgiving decor is going hybrid. You might see pumpkins, but also gnomes, burlap signage (“Give Thanks”), wooden turkeys, and even subtle glitter or metallics. Mix harvest motifs and holiday cues for personality.
Tips from Karol’s Porch Lab:
• Start with a neutral base (pillows, rugs, planters) so changing accents for other holidays is easy
• Stick to a color story and repeat it (don’t toss every hue at once)
• Use natural elements you can source easily—sticks, branches, leaves, twigs
• Layer in light: lanterns, LED candles, soft glows let your porch shine even after dark
Let your porch tell a story this Thanksgiving—a little cozy, a little bold, and 100 percent you.
