The Most Inspiring Fall Curb Appeal Looks of the Season

Let's take a field trip to all of our favorite fall exteriors from HGTV Magazine and beyond. Along the way, you'll see orange and red foliage, stunning front porches, cozy accessories, rocking chairs and more. The best part? You don't even have to leave your couch.

First up on our list of the best homes with fall curb appeal, Chip and Joanna Gaines' 1895 farmhouse in Texas. The reddish-brown leaves on this stunning tree scream fall, but that's not the only thing giving this exterior autumnal style. Charming red brick on the front porch and the front-facing chimney have all the cozy feels. A trio of wooden rocking chairs are the perfect place to take in the changing seasons.

Designer Jasmine Roth revamped the exterior of this A-frame in Arrowbear, California, with a new porch, door and paint. The woodsy color (Black Fox by Sherwin-Williams) blends right in to the surrounding mountains and foliage. The display of cut wood means a cozy, warm fire is always ready to go!

A blanket of denim blue paint on the siding and trim of this New England home (spotted by real estate pro Deb Cohen) perfectly contrasts the crisp blanket of leaves on the ground. The solid blue exterior also helps the quaint white picket fence pop — instead of making the front yard look busy. A trio of potted mums on the steps of the stained wood door creates a perfect fall vignette to greet visitors and passersby.

This Victorian has major fall fanfare: double front doors, lots of lattice, a stately color scheme and, most importantly, four Adirondack chairs to hunker down in on crisp Autumn nights. A Canadian serviceberry tree (also commonly called shadblow or shadbush) grows in the middle of the yard, while white marguerite daisies bloom to its left. And, of course, the 1871 structure deserves to show off its age with a super-cool "year built" plaque (you'll find it hanging to the left of the front door).

While brick exteriors never go out of style (especially on Colonials like this one), there's something about fall that makes these stately, almost academic-looking homes feel extra charming. If your place has a classic brick facade, lean into the season by filling window boxes and planters with autumnal blooms and trailing greenery that will change beautifully as the weather cools, like sweet potato vine and Boston ivy.

Nothing makes fall foliage look more colorful than all-black siding. This saltbox Colonial's stark exterior creates contrast with the surrounding leaves for a fiery fall display. The jade green door adds a playful pop of color that's eye-catching all year long, but it's especially punchy paired with a wreath of red foliage.

When homeowners Ben and Abby Leber first laid eyes on this lakeside cabin in Minnesota, they weren’t sold. “It was dark and creepy,” says Abby. New windows, a black metal roof and Dutch door (painted Hannah Banana by Benjamin Moore) fixed that! To up the autumnal appeal, they added pumpkins and mums to the front steps. The giant moose head — which came with the house — channels quintessential cabin style.

Five generations have lived in this picturesque, blue and white farmhouse in Illinois, and it only gets more charming with age. Plenty of pumpkins, mums and fading hydrangeas make the large front porch extra homey for the season.

This 1913 beauty screams fall year-round thanks to a muted, earthy color palette. Come October, however, orange foliage only amplifies its autumnal elegance. Pots on the steps contain eye-catching combos of yellow and fuchsia mums, spider plants, coleus and jasmine. The star of the show: Virginia creeper stretched across the stucco exterior (homeowners trim it annually).

If you think a blue-and-white color scheme works best on coastal homes with year-round warm weather, think again. Blue and orange sit across from each other on the color wheel, making them complementary hues that contrast beautifully, which means a blue-and-white exterior looks picture-perfect among autumn's amber tones.

What do you get when you pair earthy green siding, a soaring roofline, an expansive front porch and cheery fall decor? A home bursting with autumnal charm. Even if your home's architecture and color palette don't look like this, there are plenty of fall curb appeal ideas to steal here. Try adding corn stalks to porch columns or a lamppost, piling pumpkins and gourds on your front steps or adorning your door with a corn husk wreath (or two!) to copy the look.

Hanging out on the deep porch of this 1920 Colonial never gets old for the family who lives here — especially in the fall. Charming details — brick steps, corbels and diamonds on the porch columns — kick up the curb appeal. Bright potted flowers add color.

This brick-faced Tudor has storybook style all year long thanks to the steep roofline, climbing ivy and vivid chartreuse door. Potted mums on the front step and in the window box, corn stalks on the lamppost and changing foliage in the background make it a fairy tale scene in the fall.

This 2013 build has major fall porch appeal. Mahogany columns set on stone veneer bases make it regal and warm, while a copper roof above the porch wows. To enjoy the season, homeowners spread out bright yellow rocking chairs and cheery pumpkins. The front yard features hardy plants, including Emerald Green arborvitae trees and ornamental grasses, Knockout roses and hostas.

Copper roofing, long, shutterless windows and a bright front door bring modern boho flair to this Texas Craftsman. Its best fall feature: a footed fire pit surrounded by wooden chairs (complete with a Southwestern-style pillow). Bring on chilly fall bonfires and knitted throw blankets.

Designer Brian Patrick Flynn knew what he was doing with this dreamy Montana exterior. Big Sky Country style: stained wood siding (Thicket by Cabot) and natural stone ooze autumn ambiance. Patterned porch chairs topped with blue pillows bring the cozy.

While ochre and mustard may be more commonly considered fall hues, don't overlook the appeal of butter yellow for seasonal curb appeal. Homes with classic pale yellow siding look decidedly quaint with a subtle touch of fall decor. Take a cue from this homey exterior and opt for planters filled with sunny yellow mums and a pumpkin by the front door.

With lattice-pattern grilles, bumped-out windows, a sloping roofline and a stone façade, this fairytale-like cottage looks right at home amidst yellow-leaved trees, Endless Summer hydrangea, alpine Japanese spirea and dwarf Hinoki cypress shrubs. The flower pots are filled with mums and ornamental cabbage. Orange chairs complement the best fall porch accessories around: pumpkins.

The owners of this 1,000-square-foot Nebraska house painted it three times to find the right color. Muddled Basil by HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams is just right for this cozy, cabin-style home. A pair of modern outdoor rockers are the ideal spot to sip a warm drink on chilly days.

Black double doors and shutters make this sweet home regal, but it's the year-round greenery and fall flowers (wild-looking stonecrop, coneflowers and boxwood) lining the picket fence that really make it shine. “The garden continues to amaze us with its constant blooms through fall,” says the homeowner. Don't miss the fluffy holly and Russian sage — they fill the space under the windows.

A rustic fall color palette (burgundy siding and gold trim) dressed the outside of this 1885 farmhouse right up. The porch boasts a tin roof and decorative columns, while a delightful wooden gate offers a warm welcome.

This quaint Cape, captured by content creator and real estate pro Sara McDaniel, is oozing autumnal charm thanks to a sunny yellow door that matches the changing trees.

Pro tip: Paint your storm door the same color as the main door so you don't sacrifice making a statement.
