While it may appear challenging to decorate a small front porch area, don't let the diminutive size put you off. 

A compact porch offers a unique experience to create something special, making the most of whatever space you do have and, in turn, offering a wonderful first impression for visitors. 

From New-England style walk-up porches to a compact and contemporary structure that just about covers the front door, it's important to approach a small porch with thought and create something that works for the architecture and scale of your home. Whether you're looking for a way to decorate a small porch or you're building one from scratch, you'll want your small front porch ideas to feel like a natural extension of your home. 

Small front porch ideas

A porch, even a small one, is the ultimate mix of form an function. It adds visual dimension and character to the front of your home, while also offering a place to step out of the elements when opening the front door. These ideas consider both. 

1. Use space wisely

If your home has a small front porch, resist the urge to cram you light fixtures, mailbox, house numbers, doorbell, and flag pole all onto your home's exterior. Instead, give each element some breathing room by mounting your house numbers and/or your flag pole on the porch beams, instead. 

2. Stagger planters down the steps

When you are working with any sort of space constrictions, it's important to make the most of what room you do have. The same goes when deciding how to decorate a front porch. Here, stylist Michelle Cannon Smith maximized her front porch by adding planters to each step. It's the perfect way to make a statement with limited space.

3. Introduce subtle interest with paint and concrete

Emphasizing the architectural details of a smaller porch with a crisp white shade works wonderfully, especially if you have a modern home. You can add interest to the space by choosing a different color for the door. A fresh blue or sorbet yellow will brighten up a grey urban street. Alternatively, a classic wooden door will create a unique contrast to the contemporary structure. 

For architectonic interest, create multiple levels with your front yard walkway. Here, floating concrete steps give the illusion of more space. 

4. Keep the surrounding area clean and free from clutter

First impressions are everything, so make sure your small front porch – and front door – is a good one. Whatever your space or budget, there are many ideas to make a difference to your own humble porch.

Give the surrounding area a good clean and clear out any items that might be in the way. Even polishing a letterbox or door knocker will do a world of good.

5. Be at one with your surroundings

It’s important to coordinate the front door with the rest of the house, suggests Rebecca Thompson, Color Designer at Dulux, a UK paint brand. ‘Look closely at the underlying hues within your walls and natural surroundings to ensure they don’t clash. Get inspiration from your neighbors, too, and try for a unified look. A street with complementary tones looks more appealing than a mishmash of clashing colors.'

6. Add interest with color

Being creative with color, a specialist finish or decorative effect is the perfect way to give your small front porch individual style. For an unexpected look, embrace a colorful painted design for your porch ceiling ideas.

It is best to go for colors that make you happy and have longevity. If in doubt, it is often advised that you consult the color wheel. 

‘Current paint trends show a real shift towards using bolder and brighter colors outside,’ says Sue Kim, senior color designer at Valspar. ‘When choosing a front porch paint color, don’t forget to look beyond the walls – consider the door and window frames – and how they can be brought into the scheme for a statement look. ’

7. Use the same color throughout

Whether you have a covered porch or one that's open to the elements, choosing the same color for the ceiling and walls will help lift the space and make it feel more expansive. 

'It's important to think about the flow, so paint the ceiling and the walls the same color. Also, think about what color you have in the hallway. There should be a thread that follows throughout and complements your hallway paint ideas,' advises Nikki Rees who runs an interior design practice in south west London.

8. Connect with other outdoor spaces

If your porch leads to a front garden area, think about how to keep the look cohesive. Use similar plants, choose paint colors that echo nature or speak to your designer about emulating the architectural features seen in your pathway or stonework. 

In this California property, designed by Taylor Lombardo Architects , not only does the stonework provide a cohesive look, but so do the plants surrounding the porch.  

9. Light it well

At the Southampton, New York home, above, by designer Mary Patton , the oversized lantern sconces help provide a visual framework for the small front porch.

'Opt for a pair of wall lights, perhaps to frame your front door or to hover over a standing plant. This will allow for an even spill of light where it's needed most, especially in the darker winter months when outdoor lighting is essential,' advises Rohan Blacker, founder of lighting company, Pooky .

Rohan also suggests using a range of different wall lights to create a lighting feature. 'Play around with the lights’ direction and focal points – illuminate your house number, your brightly painted front door or your favorite porch plant.'

10.  Keep it simple

Keep everything simple and unfussy in a small front porch. Don't try to fit in a seating area if there's not enough space. Remove anything that is tired, worn out or not used. Then include things that have a practical or a multi-functional purpose. 

'If you do have space, a bench is a great addition to a porch,' advises interior designer, Genevieve Hurley. 'I recently designed a stone-clad bench for a client which could be lifted up and used to store shoes.'

11. Get clever with plants

(Image credit: Arterberry Cooke / Mandy Harris)

Overgrown shrubs can overpower a front porch, so opt for smaller versions and consider symmetry. 

'Use plants in pots on either side of your doorway to frame the entrance,' advises interior designer, Genevieve Hurley. 'Whether it's two tall bay trees or lavender in low boxes, planting can help elevate the space. You can also add window boxes to tie the look together.'

12. Add tall decorative elements

For the space immediately in front of your door, consider decorative elements such as lanterns, plant stands, stone decorations and an umbrella basket – these items are taller rather than wider, so will complement a small porch.

What can I do with a small front porch?

Making your small porch into a functional, yet stylish addition to your home is key. 

'Get the balance right, you need to make sure it feels open and spacious, but also allows for a practical space,' advises interior designer Nikki Rees. 

If you live in the country, an area for shoe storage might be useful, whereas in urban areas your porch lighting might need to work harder for security purposes. Speak to your architect or designer about the practical elements you need to consider before you start planning the decoration.

How do you decorate a small front porch?

'Keep it as open as possible – it will make the space feel larger,' says Nikki Rees. Avoid fussy details and instead embrace symmetry with simple items placed around the front door. 'Whatever color you choose for your front door, opt for a high gloss finish,' advises Genevieve Hurley. 'Not only is it more hard-wearing, but it bounces light around, making your porch area look bigger. '

Choose lighting that enlarges the space and makes it feel more expansive. 'Use spotlights to highlight dark corners and open up your porch area,' explains Rohan Blacker. 'By using a simple wall light to draw focus to feature elements, this will naturally give your space a larger feel.'

12 Small Front Porch Ideas That Make a Big Difference

Blog » Design Elements » 12 Small Front Porch Ideas That Make a Big Difference

By: Tessa

Small front porches can be just as impactful as large front porches when it comes to stepping up curb appeal game. Learn how to get the most out of these architectural elements with our favorite small front porch ideas.

At brick&batten, we know how to make the most out of a small porch situation. We’ll come up with a game plan for your exterior home makeover, show you the designs with a rendering, and curate a helpful resource list. If you’re curious, learn more about our virtual exterior design services.

#1 Add Elements That Serve Multiple Purposes

We always tell our clients to think of the front porch as an additional room, and this rule still applies to small porches. So think about what type of accessories you use to add life to a bare room, and add those. However, with limited real estate, each porch element needs to earn its place by serving more than one purpose. For example, you can opt for a small outdoor rug rather than a welcome mat. It gives a cozy look to your porch, but you can still use it to wipe off your shoes before entering. Add a small bench to the mix, and you now have a place to remove your muddy shoes before entering and a spot to display plants.

 

#2 Curtains Can Create Visual Space

For what your porch is lacking in square footage, it might not be lacking in height. If this is the case, draw attention to the vertical space with curtains. Many companies make mildew-resistant outdoor curtains, which are weighted, fade resistant, and dry quickly.  We found these perfect outdoor curtains at Ballard Designs. A great addition to my outdoor front porch. Adding curtains instantly makes your front porch feel like a living space.

 

#3 Two Words: Potted Plants

Purchasing potted plants is an easy way to add greenery to your home’s exterior. After all, it’s a lot less daunting to place a plant in a pot than it is to dig up and replace an entire bush in the ground. You don’t need to be an expert gardener or certified plant lady to keep them alive either. If you live in a hot region, we suggest asking your local greenhouse or nursery which potted plants are drought-resistant. Just be sure not to overwater them! Also, as much as we love terra cotta pots, just look at how elegant those French-inspired planters or the more modern designed planters as seen above. They may be worth the splurge.

 

#4 Dealing with a Super Small Porch? Go with Hanging Plants Instead.

On extra-small porches, sometimes potted plants can just add chaos and make it difficult to even enter your front door. Again, utilize your small porch’s vertical space with hanging plants instead. Ferns are an easy-to-grow and classic hanging plant choice. For a pop of color, go with a trailing plant that blooms, like a petunia.

 

#5 Add Oversized Side Porch Lights

Usually, a smaller space calls for smaller porch accessories. However, we’re here to tell you that breaking this rule can actually work in your favor when it comes to lights. Oversized lights that you hang next to the door should be about 1/3 to 1/4 the size of the doorway. Check out our article on how to choose the correct porch light size for more information on this topic.

 

#6 Draw the Eyes Up with a Pendant Light

You might have already noticed a pattern in this list of small front porch ideas. One key to making a small porch seem bigger is to guide the eye upward. We’ve already mentioned how curtains and hanging plants can achieve this, but so can pendant lights. Lately, we’ve been loving glass lantern pendant lights or even the globe pendant on your mid-century modern home.

#7 Make it Appear Larger with a Glass Entry Way

Just like a mirror can make a room look bigger, a glass entryway can make your front porch seem more spacious. If privacy isn’t an issue, or you have an extra-long front yard, be bold with a modern glass design. We especially love this option if you have a home interior that you want to show off.

#8 Add Transom Windows or Sidelights

If #7 seems like too much of a commitment for you (we admit, a complete glass entryway may call for a lot of Windex), you can get a similar effect by adding transom windows or sidelights. You’ll also love how these windows add more natural light to your home’s front room or hallway.

 

#9 Embrace Minimalism

It’s cliche, but true. Sometimes less is more on a small porch. However, minimalism doesn’t have to be boring. Let architectural elements speak for themselves, like patterned patio brick and gorgeous door. Give it a modern zen look with concrete spheres or additional decor.

 

#10 Frame it with a Wood Beam

Just like a good picture frame, a good porch frame can draw in the eye. Consider framing your porch with elements like stained wooden beams to add some interest. You can play off the brown color on other parts of the home, like with brass gutters and lights.

 

#11 No Room for Anything? Add Personality with a Statement Door

Some porches are so small, that they might leave you guessing on whether they are really a porch or just merely a step. In this case, we find that it’s worth it to pour some of your project budget into a creative door. Dutch doors are always a conversation piece! Add iron or a fresh color to really greet your guests.

#12 Go All In and Extend It

If you’ve tried working with a small porch and you’re just not having it, you can always extend it. While this project is certainly no DIY, it’s still fairly affordable to contract it out. And if you plan on spending a lot of time on your porch, it’ll be worth it.

 

By working with what you’ve got, you can easily make a small porch feel more spacious and serve as a visual focal point. We hope these small front porch ideas inspire you to create a beautiful home!

Even the smallest porch can become an accent in the exterior of the house. We tell you how the design of the porch can be

Regardless of what kind of foundation the porch has (concrete, stone, brick or wood), and in what style it is made, it can be called the "face" of the building. The porch not only protects from rain and serves as a "sanitary" zone and architectural element, but also decorates your country house. How to beautifully decorate the porch of a private house and what decor you can use: 22 ideas for inspiration. nine0003

Everyone knows the method of decorating the porch, which will give comfort even to a tiny area in front of the entrance.

Ampel plants are increasingly used to decorate Russian porches, balconies and terraces. For hanging planters, imopea and fuchsia, bacopa, begonia are suitable. Succulents in hanging planters and florariums will also come in handy.

This idea can be realized with a trellis, an arch or a special support attached to the façade. The brightest and most popular options are clematis, kampsis, climbing rose, ivy. nine0003

An idea that is not yet very popular in harsh and brutal Russia. And yet, colored doors, furniture and even porches, entirely painted in bright colors, are becoming more common - the desire for comfort and originality outweighs the traditional desire to "hide behind an iron door."

Idea for a large porch: original benches, armchairs or chairs (or maybe even a small sofa) for a cozy seating area on the porch after trimming the strawberry mustache.

Antique signs, funny or original graffiti, whimsical signs combined with unusual materials - a porch decoration option popular in Europe and the USA. In our country, this “tool” is used mainly by young people. nine0003

If there is enough space on the porch, you can place a summer dining area on the site. Don't forget to add electric string lights and lanterns for an evening of romance.

The holidays are a reason to decorate your porch thematically. Borrowed again from the inhabitants of Europe and the USA, the idea - to decorate the porch according to the season - is gradually taking root with us.

A functional element of the porch decor, which can also be beautiful, original and memorable: knitted, wicker, multi-colored rugs with funny inscriptions or the entire area of ​​the porch with a descent to the steps. nine0003

Beautiful and cozy porch lighting includes not only non-standard exclusive lamps, but also garden candlesticks, electric garlands, LEDs, cute lanterns. The lighting system can be made multi-level and with various purposes: for evening intimate light, bright, highlighting certain areas of the porch.

You can not only buy original pieces of furniture or pull them out of the attic warehouse of rare items, but also make them with your own hands from barrels, pallets, tires hidden in colored poufs. nine0003

Editor's note:

- An easy way to decorate the stairs: paint the railings white, and weave the balusters with climbing flowering plants.

If the size of the porch allows, then the traditional chairs or chairs can be replaced with a hammock, swing or hammock chair. Whether the adults will have time to rock back there with a book after their righteous garden chores is unknown, but the kids will be delighted.

Free wall - a blank canvas on which you can "draw" any flower arrangement. Flower pots can be mounted on the wall, placed in boxes, on unnecessary wooden ladders and stepladders, create a creative flower installation with meaning. nine0003

In beautiful planters and fantasy pots, in boots and shoes, in tin buckets, with accompanying decor in the form of old stools, watering cans and sculptures — flowers remain the simplest, most accessible and bright decoration of the porch.

A small decorative pond with water lilies or a miniature fountain, a waterfall can also be made on the porch with your own hands and at no serious cost.

Traditional balusters can be replaced with exclusive carved or forged ones, fencing made of impact-resistant glass, ropes, tree trunks, stainless steel mesh, and so on. nine0003

How to decorate the walls on the porch? The list of ideas is limited only by your imagination: inscriptions and lanterns, paintings and garlands, personal collections of hats, trophies and basins, flowers...

Original garden sculptures can decorate not only the garden, but also the porch. Combined with garden decor or solo. The main thing is not to overdo it with the quantity and do not forget about the combination of sculptures with the overall design of the porch (garden gnomes will definitely be superfluous).

The most popular canopy for a small porch is wrought iron elements with hooks for hanging flower pots or lanterns. A roof for a porch of a large area can be a solid design structure made of wood (glass, metal, ondulin) and a light canopy. nine0003

How to decorate a porch with steps? The most popular way after sculptures, lanterns and flowers is to complement the steps with stone decor, clinker tiles, paint, carpet paths and, of course, lighting, which will become a functional, very useful decor in the household.

Porch flooring can be wood effect tiles, colored mosaic tiles, ornamental inlays, and more. In the recreation area, you can use mats and bamboo rugs, colored paths. nine0003

You can update or decorate the door with your own hands with the help of imagination and improvised means. The simplest and most affordable ways to provide a memorable door decor are bright colors, craquelure and decoupage, flower arrangements and vintage items, original door handles and mailboxes, wreaths and monograms, themed seasonal decor.

The use of brick in the construction of a porch is always justified from an aesthetic point of view

Brick is a material that is resistant to mechanical damage and can withstand heavy loads

Very often a brick porch has a concrete base, sometimes steps are covered with other materials. For example, they can be tiled, it looks cozy and homely. Again, as with the options outlined above, you need to make sure that the porch is not excessively slippery, otherwise in winter ice and snow will make your entrance to the house potentially dangerous, especially for children and the elderly. nine0003

Porch decoration, a bit about style

Ideally, any home decoration should be correctly combined with other elements, not only with the facade, but also with the fence, gates, even with a path and green spaces. The porch can be decorated in different ways, including tiles or polycarbonate, but this should be appropriate.


Tiles can be installed on both concrete and brick, this not only increases its attractiveness, but also helps to equip an additional seating area. Tiles should be carefully selected in style and color, in accordance with the chosen style of the entire site. Let's take a closer look at some of the styles. nine0003

Recognizable features of any design in the classical style are rigor, exquisite consistency, harmonious moderation in decor. Usually, the porch in a house built in a classical style is equipped not only with a canopy, but is also complemented by beautiful decorative columns, classic railings with soft-shaped balusters.

Traditional finishing materials are stone (marble, granite), various ceramic tiles, as well as painted and carefully crafted wood. nine0003

Classic porch design with an open decorative canopy

In a classic style, decor is quite acceptable, and homeowners often like to work on it themselves, which, as a rule, gives the home a unique look and homeliness. It should be remembered that the classical style gravitates towards symmetry and correctness, clarity of all lines.

It is better to make the canopy over the porch high, and the stairs themselves wide, and not very steep. Beautiful railings with wrought iron elements are always appropriate, the style of which should be repeated in the decorative finish of the gate. nine0003

Country style porch

The style of coziness and rustic simple charm is timeless, no matter what country you are inspired by. A beautiful wooden staircase will be ideal for almost any style of country style, American, English or French.

Finishing in this style is accepted only with natural materials, concrete or polycarbonate will have to be abandoned, natural wood, rough stone will do. nine0003

Decorating a porch in country style is not so easy, there are many features and nuances in this direction of construction

Porch decorated in Russian style

In Rus', the front entrance to the hut has long been not just beautiful, but frankly exquisite. The best craftsmen worked on the construction of the porch, it was decorated with complex carved ornaments and patterns, balusters and pillars of the most complex shapes. Today, the "Russian style" in the decoration of the porch is very popular.

Manual work in this case is not only appropriate, but also desirable, and if you know how to work with wood and can make an openwork porch with your own hands, then it is simply necessary to apply your talents here. nine0003

Russian-style architecture - very beautiful and elegant

The peculiarity of the "Russian" porch in the classic design is that it is not covered with colored paint, usually transparent varnish is used, since the texture of living wood should be noticeable. It is allowed to use wood stain, light toning of wood. There are no other strict canons in finishing styles, it all depends on the imagination and skill of the author.

The French porch is decorated with a variety of curly details, on the wide steps you need to find a place for several wicker baskets with fresh flowers. nine0003

Hi-tech porch

Taking into account the general style of the hi-tech direction, you can see that straight and beautiful stairs, made with careful finishing of details, are appropriate in it. If concrete is not appropriate in the country, then here it is more than desirable, especially in combination with shiny metal and glass. Steps should be wide, as this style likes a lot of free empty space.

The black and white color palette is complemented by a metallic sheen. It is very cool to decorate the railing with shiny elements made of perforated metal, similar to factory blanks. A metal-plastic door is ideal for such a porch. As a decor, it is good to use “industrial” type lamps with white or cold neon light, which are usually mounted on each step of the porch. nine0003
