There's a quote from the movie Yours, Mine & Ours where the lead character says, "Homes are for free expression, not good impression." While we appreciate the sentiment, we say, why not have both? A home can showcase your personality and be presentable at the same time. The best place to start is with your front porch (or front door space, if you don't actually have a porch). It's the spot that's on display for all to see — passersby, mail delivery folks, visitors, and most importantly, you. And as we always say before you embark upon any home DIY project, get out your drill, hammer, and screwdrivers: It's time to up the curb appeal ante with inspired ideas from Walmart.

A wreath can be hung on your front door every month throughout the year. Since we're celebrating autumn, we think this design is perfect for your front porch fall decor, however we think it can stay up for at least a couple of seasons as well.

If there's one look we love on a front porch, it's an outdoor rug. There is something about it that just warms up the space. This striped beauty is giving us all the cool weather feels.

If a rug is too big for your space, simply add a doormat. This farmhouse plaid is one that is not only naturally gorgeous (it's made of 100% coconut coir fiber), it'll stay in place no matter the conditions. Also, if you do have the space, we recommend layering this doormat over the above Mohawk Home rug for a look that is totally on trend.

So, get ready for your front porch to be picture-perfect ready with the help of Walmart and a little DIY effort on your end. We can't help but think that every time walk in or out of your front door, you'll do so with a big smile on your face
