It’s so easy to transform an ordinary lamp post into a yard decoration for fall! If you haven’t already, now is the perfect time to decorate your porch, front door and yard for the fall season. There’s honestly no rhyme or reason for why a lamp post needs to be decorated, but it sure does end up looking nice right out in front of your home. You’ll want to decorate a lamp post for fall every year from here on out!
How to Decorate a Lamp Post for Fall
I love everything about fall. The bright colors of the fall leaves as they change before falling, apple cider, hayrides, outdoor fall decorations, bonfires, outdoor movie nights, a crispness in the air, and so much more. It signifies the end of summer and a marvelous time of year. But the last thing I want to think about is the lamp post out in the front of my house because it does not scream decorative. Not at all.
Everyone has something about their home that they don’t like. My thing is our front lantern post. I’m referring to it as that type of outdoor light because back in the day it was a gas lit lantern. At least that’s how all the original neighborhood lights were and some neighbors still have the original! Then someone converted the one in front of our home to electric. Without. A. Permit. When we went to purchase our home, the light pole out front was not up to code. What did the previous owner’s do? They had an electrician cut the power to the light, cap it off, and now we have a lamp post that’s an eyesore and not usable for its purpose. We really just need to replace it already, but there’s always another project ahead of that. One day… For now, it’s easy to hide the lamp post behind holiday decorations!

Easy Way to Decorate a Lamp Post for Fall
This is by far the easiest way you will make your front yard festive and it’s a great way to decorate a lamp post that needs some love!
What you’ll do:
Color scheme. Decide on which color scheme you want to go with the rest of your decorations. The color scheme can honestly be whatever you want.
Dried cornstalks. You can often find these for purchase at your local Home Depot, nursery, apple orchard, pumpkin farm, or online.
Decorative ears of Indian Corn. I love using the multicolor corn or ears with deep purple and red hues. The color really pops against the off-white dried stalks!
Ribbon or twine. Get as colorful or as simple as you’d like. It’s to attach the corn stalks to the lamp post.
Place the dried corn stalks upright in front of the lamp post. Tie a piece of ribbon or twine around and knot at the back of the lamp post. Add decorative Indian Corn and more ribbon if you prefer, like a big bow on the front.
Add some pumpkins and gourds!
Such an easy way to decorate a lamp post for fall!
Also a great way to cover up an eyesore of a lamp post. Ha!
I just simply love how it turned out.
Now I have to think of what to do for another upcoming holiday? How should I decorate the yard light for Christmas? So many options. I’m thinking maybe string lights or garland on an angle from the top to create a Christmas tree! Stay tuned…
