Patrick and Brittany Mahomes’ Coordinated Fall Entrance is a Study in Integrated Decor – It Sets the Standard for Seasonal Curb Appeal
At their Kansas City home, the couple bypassed traditional decor in favor of a curated entrance that blends with their existing landscaping
The best seasonal exteriors don’t rely on overly obvious Halloween decorations. Case in point: Patrick and Brittany Mahomes’ Kansas City home, where a fall-themed entrance combines chrysanthemums, pumpkins, and considered lighting for a look that feels perfect for October without going over the top.
Set against the home’s facade, the couple has worked their outdoor fall decor into their landscaping. Rows of white and golden chrysanthemums frame the front steps, while orange pumpkins are tucked into the planting beds. The simple placement makes the display feel especially pulled together. The pumpkins add color throughout the garden, while the chrysanthemums around the entrance create a subtle sense of repetition.
If you want to recreate the look at home, Belgian mums (from Trees.com) are an easy way to bring those rich fall tones to a porch or entryway, with golden-yellow and orange varieties offering plenty of seasonal impact. All elements feel connected to the home and landscaping, without the Halloween decor taking over the space.

Available from Trees.com, formerly known as Fast Growing Trees, these Chrysanthemums offer a simple way to bring a dose of fall charm to your porch. Their masses of blooms look beautiful grouped in pots alongside pumpkins, just like the Mahomes' exterior.
For a similar approach to fall curb appeal, skip the plastic pumpkins and plant your own using this live option from Walmart. It delivers the same home-grown texture you can see outside Patrick and Brittany's home.
This pack of 300+ mixed seeds will bring abundant color to your front yard or porch, with a selection of yellow, white, red and pink shades for a stunning display that will look just as good after Halloween.
Matchsticks Chrysanthemums are a more unexpected take on the classic fall mum. The golden petals tipped in red resemble tiny matchsticks, making it a lovely choice for adding texture to a fall porch, entryway, or patio pot.
The perfect base for your fall plants, this planter has a rich brown finish that complements seasonal chrysanthemums and pumpkins (or whatever else you choose). Its generous size makes it ideal for creating a statement display beside the front door or along the steps.
‘Decorating the entrance in this way for Halloween looks like part of the landscaping instead of a bunch of decorations,’ says Jeremy Olsher, a real estate advisor who specializes in property presentation.
‘The pumpkins are mixed with the plants, and the large groupings of white and golden chrysanthemums frame the front steps. Wonderful structure. The smaller pumpkins and orange lights enhance the Halloween atmosphere. It is indeed a beautiful balance.’
Patrick and Brittany's classic fall color scheme is similarly impactful. They've leaned into one of the tones synonymous with the season, including cream, muted orange, yellow, and green, which are repeated throughout the planting and decorations. This gives the entrance a seasonal feel without leaning too heavily into brighter or gimmicky colors.
‘Seasonal curb appeal works best when it makes the entrance feel warmer and more inviting,’ Jeremy says. ‘Repeating the same colors: cream, muted orange, yellow, and green makes the entrance look coordinated.’

You also don’t need a sizeable collection of decorations to create a similar effect. Jeremy recommends grouping a few larger pieces rather than filling the entrance with lots of small accessories.
‘If your budget is smaller, you can decorate in clusters,’ he explains. ‘For example, a few large pots of mums beside the door and pumpkins grouped at different heights around them. This is easy to achieve and looks more polished than 15 small decorations across the entire porch.’
For Patrick and Brittany, the result is an entrance that feels distinctly perfect for fall without competing with the landscaping. It's gone straight to the top of our inspiration board, as decorating begins.
