3. A Cozy Rocking Chair Corner

Wooden rocking chair on a front porch with a red plaid throw blanket and autumn cushion, pumpkins and lantern beside it

If you have even a small porch, carve out a corner for sitting and you’ll actually enjoy the season more. A wooden rocking chair dressed with a plaid throw and one autumn-toned cushion turns a plain porch into the coziest reading nook on the street.

Keep the styling simple: one throw, one cushion, and a lantern or small pumpkin beside the chair. The goal is a spot that looks inviting at noon and even better at dusk when the lantern glows.

What You’ll Need

  • 1 wooden rocking chair or small bench
  • 1 plaid throw blanket
  • 1 autumn-print or solid-rust cushion
  • 1 lantern or small pumpkin

How to Make

  1. Place the chair in the corner with the best view.
  2. Drape the throw over the back or arm of the chair.
  3. Add the cushion, slightly angled for a casual look.
  4. Set a lantern or pumpkin on the floor beside it.
