Patio Decor and Window Treatments for Fall
Fall is one of our favorite times of year, not only because of the crisp weather and changing leaves: Decorating for autumn is so much fun, particularly if you have a patio. The Window Fashions of Northern California design team gladly approaches this challenge with design consultations and custom window treatments for patio doors.
Fall Decorations for Patios: Accessories and Lighting
An outdoor rug provides warmth underfoot and is a fine starting point for a decor refresh. It defines specific areas like seating or dining spaces; you’ll also want one in front of your sliding glass patio door. Look for deep colors and natural textures like jute or sisal that can handle the outdoor elements.
Seasonal greenery, such as large, potted evergreens, ornamental grasses, or chrysanthemums, creates a sense of nature’s changing beauty. Add a few pumpkins and elegant Halloween decorations.
Lanterns with amber glass or brass finishes add a luxurious touch and a soft, golden glow. You can also add filament-style bulbs for a subtle, vintage-inspired vibe. LED candles or solar-powered lanterns are practical decorations for patios, adding warm, flickering light.
Fall Decorations for Patios: Change Out the Cushions
Now is the time to swap out summery patio furniture cushions for a more seasonal look. We recommend rich, autumnal tones like burnt orange, deep burgundy, and mustard yellow.
Look for durable outdoor fabrics like weather-resistant polyester to withstand the elements while maintaining style. Pair those cushions with textured throws for warmth and visual interest, coordinating them with the rugs.
Fall Decorations for Patios: Patio Door Coverings
Now that you’ve considered lighting, accessories, and cushions, let’s move on to window treatments for patio doors. Large sliding glass doors or French doors typically lead out to patios, and finding appropriate coverings for them is essential for privacy and light control.
Hunter Douglas has custom patio door coverings that blend style with functionality. Luminette® Sheer Panels are a hybrid window treatment we customize for sliding glass doors. They look like sheer drapes but have integrated, 180-degree rotating fabric vanes that control light like vertical blinds; the effect is a radiant glow. Luminette® Sheer Panels are offered in various fabrics, textures, and colors, with a room-darkening option.
Duette® Cellular Shades have a honeycomb structure that traps air to keep patios more comfortable on cool autumn days and nights. Choose from vertical or horizontal orientations, an impressive range of heights and widths, and the industry’s best selection of cellular pleat sizes, opacities, colors, and textures.
Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds come in over 450 fabric choices and offer excellent coverage for patio doors. The wide fabric-covered panels stack tightly to one side when opened, maximizing your outdoor view. When closed, you’ll see the exclusive textures and colors. You’ll also appreciate the smooth operation, courtesy of their interlocking bottom weights.
