How to Style Up Your Front Porch?
A common highlight of well-designed homes is their front porch.
From adding value to sprucing up the outdoors, a porch can append beauty to your living space.
When it comes to retouching the front porch, even tiny changes can go a long way. Some of the creative ways to jazz up your home’s exterior without breaking the bank are:
1. Add outdoor furniture
A porch offers a perfect spot to relax, dine, and enjoy great time with family and friends.
To create a perfect porch and to make it more inviting, add furniture items like:
- Barcelona chair to create a comfortable sitting area
- A small table or garden stool to keep food and beverages
- Add benches to cozy up the space
- Install a porch swing
2. Invest in landscape management
Put on your thinking cap and start experimenting with plants and flowers in your front yard. These can make your porch stand out.
Some of the ways to add a natural touch to your porch are:
- Arrange potted plants like boxwood or eucalyptus
- Place a few pumpkins on the ground
- Install an evergreen wreath on the front door
- Hang planters
- Use flower baskets
- Attach flowers to windows and fences
3. Porch lighting
Lights can make any outdoor space appealing and a well-lit porch looks more welcoming.
Turn your dark and shadowy porch into a nighttime oasis by incorporating any of these ideas:
- String lights
- Spotlights
- Porch ceiling fixtures
- Pathway lights
- Lanterns
- Candles
- Table lamps
Above all, ambient porch lighting is important for daily use, night gatherings, and outdoor parties.
4. Add curtains and drapes
Whether you want to spend quality time with your friends or want to enjoy your breakfast, a front porch is an ideal spot.
But if the sun is shining bright or you have pesky bugs distracting your conversations, curtains, shades or blinds can be your saviors.
Some other benefits of hanging curtains are:
- Creates a private space
- Offers shade
- Adds visual interest
5. Cozy up with accessories
Like your room, the porch also needs accessories to add enough texture and color to the outdoor space.
Make your porch look attractive by adding well-chosen accessories like:
- Throw pillows and cushions onto furniture
- An outdoor rug
- Display some artwork
- A wall-mounted water feature
In the end…
Whether small or large, your front porch not just provides an entry to your home, but it is a place where you can also relax and have fun.
