After such a hot and muggy summer, the crisp, cool feel of Autumn is certainly welcome on Long Island.

Be sure your home is ready for school friends, trick-o-treaters, and Thanksgiving guests by adding a pop of color to your front entrance!

Paint your door a fun and bright turquoise like Mariner (SW 6766).

Turquoise is associated with meanings of refreshing, calming, sophisticated energy, good luck, and wholeness. The bright color will enhance your curb appeal and excite your visitors.

Get the kids involved!

All you need is spray paint, glue and creativity! Another fun way to make your entrance unique for fall is to use vinyl stickers to put your house number on the pumpkin, or add a welcome message (Hay there)!

Turn fresh magnolia leaves into a unique wreath that incorporates traditional autumn colors like yellow and orange with our nautical turquoise to tie it all together.

Orange you glad to see me? It’s time to talk pumpkins! Don’t be afraid to mix it up when it comes up decorating with pumpkins and gourds!

Classic orange is always cheerful and beautiful but why limit your palette? Have your entrance looking GOURDgeous!

Utilize a wide variety of colors and finishes to create a unique, eclectic feel. Metallic paint can create a balance of rustic and modern styles. White paint can also add glam to your porch pumpkins!

No matter what theme you choose to decorate with this autumn, remember to utilize color and texture to bring your design to life! Happy DIYing!
