11. A Styled Wooden Porch Bench

Rustic wooden bench on a front porch styled with orange and cream fall throw pillows, a chunky knit blanket and a small white pumpkin

A wooden bench is a blank canvas for fall styling. A couple of autumn-toned pillows, a chunky knit blanket, and one small pumpkin are all it takes to turn it into the warmest-looking seat on the porch.

Mix textures — a knit, a woven pillow, a smooth pumpkin — for that cozy layered feel. Keep one end of the bench clear so it actually invites someone to sit down.

What You’ll Need

  • 1 wooden porch bench
  • 2-3 fall throw pillows
  • 1 chunky knit blanket
  • 1-2 small pumpkins

How to Make

  1. Place the bench against the wall or railing.
  2. Prop pillows at one end, leaning against each other.
  3. Drape the knit blanket over the opposite end.
  4. Set a small pumpkin on the bench beside the pillows.
