Fall Decorating Around the House

Turn fresh magnolia leaves into cool door decor with spray paint, hot glue, and a wreath form. (Find the complete DIY instructions for the wreath here.) Use similar paint colors to make a coir doormat feel fall festive. (Find the complete DIY instructions for the doormat here.) Apply custom peel-and-stick vinyl numbers to a patch-grown pumpkin to help guide guests to your place, then load the rest of the porch with more pumpkins and gourds. Doormat: Basic doormat, $25, worldmarket.com; House numbers: Custom 6"-tall removable numbers in sparkly font, $1.50 each, vinylwallexpressions.com

Transform vegetation into decoration—and give your entry an instant autumn vibe. Display gourds, mini pumpkins, and sheet moss under glass cloches. Round log slices, with the rough-hewn bark intact, serve as the bases. (Just make sure the veggies are 100% dry before you cover them with the domes so they don’t get moldy.) Also fun: Temporarily swap out the hardware on a console or dresser for knobs shaped like foliage. Cloches: Glass bell jar domes, $30 for a mixed set of 2 (large is 15 3/4"H x 9"-diameter), save-on-crafts.com; Wood tree rounds: Natural birch slabs, from $9 each, lightsforalloccasions.com; Knobs: Atlas Homewares Leaf 2"-wide zinc knobs in rust, $6.50 each, build.com
