Spring Porch Decorating Ideas

With our next porch decorating contest coming up, we want to give some ideas for different ways to beautify the front of your home for the community to see.

Potted plants bring spring home A pot full of cold-weather pansies or early-blooming daffodils and tulips will freshen up any porch with new life. Pick the right colorful pot to add to the effect. Artificial flowers are always an option too. Don’t forget to dress up your steps!

Invite people to linger Announce warmer weather is coming and make people want to stay a little while by adding a bench, chair, or small cafe-style table for some outdoor conversation with your neighbors overlooking your yard.

Add some comfort Add some outdoor pillows to your furniture to be more welcoming. Pillows are a great way to add more color and texture, which is easily switched out according to the season.

Bring some indoor touches to the outdoors Set expectations to spend time on your porch enjoying fresh air and sunshine by installing some curtains on the outside of your windows, and hang up some wall art.

Cover the floor To really set your porch apart, utilize a large outdoor rug to add color and texture across your porch floor that makes it feel like an extension of your home. For smaller porches, layer your rugs for the same effect. If you’re truly ambitious, paint your porch floor with a color of outdoor-quality paint that compliments your house.
