With spring (almost) in the air, it’s time to let your imagination run wild and give your front porch the transformation it so desperately needs! We are all looking for ways to make our outdoor living space to the next level. Here are a few tips to revamp your porch just in time for spring and to welcome your guests with a personality-packed first impression.
Go mono scheme
You can never go wrong with rocking a monochromatic scheme. Checkered patterns, stripes, and two-tone contrast creates a striking and clean look. Change it up with a pair of colorful throw pillows or some bright flowers to accent your porch with a pop of color!
Comfy, cozy, and homey
It really doesn’t get any cozier than this! Installing a porch swing and adding a few potted plants will give you that homey feeling that will have you itching to spend your spring days in this comfy space. Terra cotta pots are the perfect addition to host your spring flowers and work great as a neutral background to your porch. Can you imagine anywhere else to spend your evenings this spring?
Soft pops of color
Bright colors aren’t for everyone, but one thing is for sure… you can never go wrong with soft pops of color. Soft-toned plants, like lavender, can complement and liven up just about any space. Using tiered planters is exceptional for planting herbs and giving the illusion of extra space. Combine this looks with other decorative elements, such as lanterns or candles to create an inviting and soothing piece of heaven right on your porch.
Rustic meets chic
Decorating your home with something as beautiful as a classic old watering can will bring a rustic feel to an area. Then, spruce it up by painting the watering can to compliment the rest of your porch decor! Pair this decorative piece with flowers, other potted plants, and a wooden crate to merge the worlds of rustic and chic to create a space that is equally relaxing and homey.
Quirky throw pillows
Nothing bids a warm welcome to springtime like a burst of color! Spruce up your porch by adding a collection of vibrant throw pillows. Your guests will be charmed and feel right at home when surrounded by comfort. Choosing various patterns and colors for your pillows can make your porch look more exciting.
Reduce, reuse, and recycle
You can transform the look of your front porch by using decorative items you already have in your basement, garage, or attic! Like a galvanized bucket, old milk cans, and wooden crates, farm-inspired items are easy and practical. You can also use (and paint) old tires and turn them into garden planters. You can create a versatile addition to your garden while reducing waste. You can make a colorful addition to your outdoor living space by repurposing the tire rather than disposing of it. You can also repurpose an old desk or dresser to add depth to the area and house your plants.
Jazz up the door
Whether you have a small porch or you just want to add a little something to spruce up your space, you can still make a statement with a charming door sign. Welcome spring with enthusiasm and cheer! Accessorize your sign with pastel colors and artificial flowers to keep it light and fresh.
Plant paradise
Bring your porch to life – quite literally, with a dazzling display of potted plants and flowering species. Create a striking container garden with an abundance of plant textures, colors, and sizes, staggered at various heights. You can do this traditionally with potted and hanging plants along your porch or go the more creative route. Consider using things like old chandeliers or boots for planters. You might also consider utilizing a vertical herb garden or trellis wall on your porch, which is pleasing to look at and practical.
