Country cottage porches
12 ways to a cozy, welcoming entrance |

A cottage porch is not just an essential addition to quaint country homes – it's a look to aspire to for anyone wanting to create an entrance that is welcoming, intimate and cozy.
Porch ideas tend to be on the smaller size for cottages, but that doesn't mean they can't have impact.
'These little outdoor rooms – usually off the front, back or side of the house – can be so many things: a stately extension of the front hall, a depository of rocking chairs, or a shady room for naps,' says interior designer Miles Redd, from New York City-based Redd Kaihoi .
Redd originates from the South, where porches are particularly popular. 'In the South, we relish a good porch, especially in the spring – when it is warm, but with a cool breeze waiting in the wings.'
Cottage porch ideas
More than just a practical addition, a cottage porch is the ultimate expression of comfort. It gives a warm embrace that makes you feel truly at home. These cottage decorating ideas will help you get yours right.
1. Add seating to your cottage porch – and take in the view

As Redd suggests, rocking chairs are a charming addition to a cottage porch, allowing you to while away the hours and soak up the local atmosphere.
If your porch is raised, it will need to be fairly deep to be able to fit in rocking chairs and safely roll back and forth.
For a narrower porch area, choose a more compact seat with comfy cushions. Rattan or all-weather wicker furniture is an ideal choice, as it has a softer look and will stay looking good year round.
This is a lovely way, whether for front or back porch ideas, to make the most of a beautiful view.

Though cozy and homely, cottages are not known for their generous room proportions, so consider adding a small porch that doubles as a cottage extension or second living space.
This stone cottage has been extended with a shiplapped front porch, which has added an informal living room and softened the exterior.
Double doors open onto a patio seating area with spectacular views.
'A living-porch makes the ultimate warm welcome, and a great spot to wait for visitors to arrive – even on a cold day,' says Andrea Childs, editor of Country Homes & Interiors.
'Make the space an inviting sanctuary with a cozy bench seat, lots of cushions and a soft rug.'
3. Add homey touches for a cottage porch look

A cottage porch should make an entrance feel warm and inviting, and connect emotionally with a visitor. One of the best ways to achieve this is by adding thoughtful touches that treat the space as an extension of the inside.
No one knows the importance of accessorizing a porch more than Magnolia founder and Fixer Upper star Joanna Gaines. ‘I think little things like potted plants, sconces, front door mats… things that when you walk in just feel intentional,’ she revealed on a tour of her family farmhouse on the Today Show.
Gaines often adds flower boxes and sitting areas to front porches when designing homes, to evoke the perfect cottage feel. In this design, painted outdoor storage and bench seating add a snug corner, and somewhere to take off muddy boots.
Another way? Through porch paint ideas: white will look light and airy, black smart and formal, earthy tones like these, welcoming and just right for a cottage.
4. Build a cottage porch on the side of your home

When the entrance is located to the side of a house, the front facade can lack impact and a central focus. However, adding a side porch extension allows for the creation of a street-facing door, and creates a generous space that can double as a mudroom or sitting area, and can run to the back of the house, giving access to the garden.
If your entrance is already on the front elevation, then adding a porch to the side of a house gives the opportunity to change the interior layout, which can be ideal if the front door opens a main living space directly onto the street.
Clad in dark-stained shiplap, this pretty porch has a lovely country feel, while the cottage-style gate and sage paint add a softer touch.
5. Illuminate your cottage porch with stylish outdoor lighting

Porch lighting ideas are essential to include, but for cottage porches, it will set an even homier atmosphere.
'Bulkheads, path and step lights make dark or steep walkways safer to use, while a pendant in a covered porch or box wall lights flanking the front door create a warm welcome, as well as enabling you to find your keys,' says Charlie Bowles, director at Davey Lighting.
The brand's square pendant is a simple, classic design with a weathered brass finish, which will tone in beautifully with a cottage aesthetic - also a great way to add character and style to the ceiling for porch ceiling ideas.
6. Make a cottage porch feel part of the garden

This classic English Cotswold cottage makes its porch feel at one with the cottage garden by enclosing it with planting and painting the woodwork in a soft moss shade.
But it reveals another clever idea – using the roof to display containers. This trick really frames the porch with greenery and entices you to go inside.
You can only really do this where there is a flat-roofed section that can take the weight. Where this isn't possible, add hanging baskets or window boxes to heighten the connection between porch and garden.

The weather can rarely be relied upon to be consistently temperate. So consider making your porch more versatile with external shutters, which can be closed off when the sun or wind get too much, or if you want extra privacy.
The soft blue and cream of this color scheme by Benjamin Moore are perfect for a country cottage look.
8. Create a vintage-style reading nook

Cottage porches are perfect for creating a small corner to escape the hustle and bustle of family life. If you can squeeze in room for a chair and side table, then it makes a fabulous spot for reading or writing.
Unlike a rear garden room, relaxing in a front porch makes you feel connected with the world beyond your property, so you can while away the hours watching people and animals pass by.
Make the space feel relaxed and intimate with painted furniture and vintage accessories.
The porch on this English country cottage has a charming exterior to match, with a pretty barge board and finial, and country-style double doors. A cottage garden makes the perfect approach.
9. Add color to a cottage porch with containers
(Image credit: Kasia Fiszer)
Plants are essential for adding color and life to a cottage porch, so fill your space with containers, or perhaps line the steps leading up to your front door with pots.
'Garden pots are always going to be a good look – don’t be shy of scaling these up,' says interior designer Benji Lewis .
'When it comes to pots, I would likely choose terracotta – those glazed ones that suggest that farmhouse holiday in Provence, filled with something the bees will love, then pop a climbing rose in another pot and train it over the door.
'
10. Enhance the cottage feel with rustic materials
(Image credit: Colin Poole)
Part of the appeal of cottages is that they are humbler homes, so use natural and rustic materials to enhance the look and make the space feel more lived in.
‘Think cool brick floors, old wicker, and lush ferns,’ says Miles Redd. 'Porches are a magnet, because they offer so much comfort in the great outdoors.'
In this porch, an exposed timber ceiling, aged stone floor and textured brick walls are beautifully softened by painted woodwork, sheer drapes, an antique rug, and plants in terracotta pots. A vintage wicker chair (just seen) provides the perfect spot to take in the views.
11. Keep it simple with an oak-frame cottage porch

An oversized porch can detract from the charm of rustic cottages, so consider that a simple open-sided structure might best suit your home.
The roof of this oak-frame porch by Welsh Oak Frame keeps you dry while unlocking the front door, and adds a warm focal point to the facade.
12. Bring in the light with plenty of glazing
(Image credit: Jeremy Phillps)
If you're worried that adding a cottage porch will block light to the inside of your home, then make sure the design maximizes glazing.
On this home, the glass features stunning gothic arch detailing on the tall windows, to complement the period property. The roof also includes rooflights, to bring in ample light.
Furnished with vintage-inspired metal furniture, the space doubles as a garden room, and is the perfect spot to remove muddy boots after a walk in the countryside.

Narnia
Dana Webber Design Group
My first adventure in this forest, the site for the Narnia home, was in late-summer.
Even in my sturdiest boots, I could not trek the whole site. My agile dog was better at finding a path between the rotting logs and over the dense ferns. I could not find the ground, let alone the edge of the fiddleback maple grove. My mind told me I was somewhere other than the south end of Bainbridge Island. I was in Narnia. I half expected Mr. Tumnus to appear from around a tree- his scarf tied around his neck and a package under his arm. Lacking a magical wardrobe, our portal into Narnia was to be this beautiful home. For the next year, we wandered the 6-acre site in every season, imagining life in a future home. In fall, the maples dropped their paper-sized leaves, making a golden carpet. In spring, the fiddlehead ferns popped their curled heads out through the leaves. We conjured an image of the porch with its fireplace and sofas, and the kitchen-garden. We pictured grandkids running through the woods and later bundled-up watching outdoor movies. We formulated the view from the living room windows, as it would appear from different perspectives on the site.
We put all these pieces together and came up with the perfect location for the house, each room responded to the site in its own way. The Narnia house is designed for generations of family members. One might be found in the kitchen, with their apron, baking cookies. One might be upstairs, designing high technology. One might be sewing—probably a gift for someone special. One might be getting the kayak ready to circumnavigate the island. One might be harvesting sweet peas. The house was designed for all this, and more. There is a special wall in the kitchen, with a series of photos- each a group photo of the last family gathering, consecutively larger. It is not a big house, by some standards. It is a house that is designed for intimacy. The kitchen tasks rotate around the island- anchored by the great stove that performs so many functions. The sink-wall, with its copious windows, faces south, the direction where daydreams and sunlight come from. The dining area- with an art wall at its head and French doors at its feet, borrows strength from the kitchen and the living room.
In the living room itself, the dialog between the steel-balustered staircase, the concrete fireplace and the south windows is almost audible. Upstairs, the spaces achieve a perfect balance- with sleeping and working claiming their place at opposite ends, below the tall gables, with the fussy bits of bathing and toileting in-between. Downstairs, well, we need to ask Lucy and the Professor to tell us what happens there. In the Narnia books, the author brings the Pevensie children out of a troubled time in London, to a place not without its own danger, but a place of wonder and belonging. This home is that kind of place. It is a place where adventure and imagination hold hands and stroll through the forest together.

A beautiful and spacious terrace will perfectly decorate your home.
This is a place where you can relax, take a break from the frantic pace of life, think about plans, take a nap or just dream. In this article, we will tell you everything about the design of a summer veranda in a private house, give several stylistic trends in interior design and show numerous photo ideas.
Which style to choose
The first thing that determines the choice of style is the location. If it is located in the northern or eastern side of the world, a colonial stylistic solution will do. It differs in the following details:
- the presence of a rocking chair;
- the presence of wicker furniture.
Also in this room you can equip a fireplace, which in the future will serve as a unit for heating the room. Also on the veranda there is one main wall, it also needs to be decorated. It is mainly painted with a solid color and sometimes trimmed with natural stones. So that the porch does not look empty, it is decorated with flower shelves, vases, panels and lamps of various shapes.
If the room is located in the south or west side, it is better to give preference to warm shades, as there will be a lot of sunlight in this place. An excellent solution would be the Provence style. Distinctive features of this style direction:
- beamed ceilings;
- furniture made of natural materials, made in light shades;
- curtains can be used either transparent or pastel colors;
- table with chairs;
- flowers in vases or pots.
For a long time there is no such style as vintage. It combines stylistic techniques of different directions, gives the room an attractive negligence. Loft also remains a popular design solution, in order to realize such an idea you need to show imagination. The most characteristic features of this design:
- spacious layout;
- high ceiling;
- a lot of light;
- fireplace or stove;
- brick walls;
- multifunctional equipment.
The key task of decorating the terrace of a country house is to try not to overload it with unnecessary things. It is necessary to take a responsible approach to the choice of furniture, it should not be large, the main thing is that it pleases with its comfort and reliability.
If you do not want to stick to any particular style, try decorating the room in a modern style solution. Make columns, arrange low furniture items as you wish. You can also equip fences made of glass or polycarbonate.
Colonial
This style first became known several centuries ago. During the period when European countries colonized the territories of America and Asia, as well as Africa. Europeans brought various familiar objects there in order to feel more comfortable and cozy in a foreign land. They adapted to climate change and tried to combine the American style of interiors with the European one.
The most characteristic difference of the direction is wicker furniture.
It is made from natural materials and is performed in a classic form:
- high back;
- curved legs;
- round armrests.
Rustic style of arranging a terrace or veranda in a private house: photo ideas
This is a fairly simple stylistic direction that creates a native and cozy atmosphere. A key feature of this style is artificial rattan furniture. It should be simple in design furniture items. Fancy details do not fit here. The color scheme is made up of natural shades - natural stone, wood color.
Provence
This is also a rustic style direction, but originally from France. Distinctive characteristics:
- the presence of artsy furniture;
- textile details.
Furniture items should complement a variety of decorative elements:
- braided patterns;
- comfortable round backs of armchairs and sofas;
- curved legs.

How to arrange a veranda in a private house: photos of beautiful terraces
Here are a few ideas on how to arrange the decor, and list what elements it includes. In such a room, an atmosphere of calm and comfort should soar, this is a place of rest where you can spend time forgetting about everyday problems and fast-paced life.
Furniture selection
Since this room was created to relax there, a mandatory attribute of the decor is soft sofas, comfortable armchairs and chairs. If you are decorating the veranda of a summer cottage, it is not necessary to buy new furniture accessories, it is enough to put the old ones in and simply transform and repaint them. This approach will allow you not only to change the shade of furniture, but also to create a completely new atmosphere.
When restoring sofas and soft chairs, you need to take care of sewing pillows. Tables are also an important item of the veranda. Often breakfast, lunch or dinner is served here during the summer season, so you simply cannot do without a coffee or dining table.
If the size of the room allows, be sure to put a sofa. You can not overload the room. Sometimes the use of light colors helps to correct the situation and visually increase the area. There should not be a lot of furniture paraphernalia; if there are chairs, there are no chairs.
You can also attach shelves to the end wall and place the most necessary things on them. A very excellent and cozy option for organizing a recreation area is the installation of a garden swing. Such an attribute is suitable for an open extension, in closed ones it will be superfluous.
Flowers
Often, when decorating a street veranda, the owner arranges flower arrangements in pots, which are located either on the floor or on the shelves.
If the plant is small in size, it can be put on the table.
Curtains in closed and open terrace design
They are needed in one case, if the roof overhang is long - from 1.5 m. This must be taken into account so that weather conditions cannot often pollute the curtains. The fabric is also protected by the columns, it stretches along the entire length of the baguettes. So you can close from prying eyes and retire.
We will give two main tips that should be followed when choosing curtains:
- choose them to match the leading accent of the decor;
- buy light or transparent curtains that will not overload the room.
If you want to protect your terrace from precipitation, purchase curtains made of a special PVC film. To order their tailoring, carefully measure all the parameters of your veranda.
Lighting
In the open outbuildings of the owner, they put a lamp that is resistant to both rain and shock.
If the device has low protection, it is better to put it indoors. The usual place where you can place an attribute is the ceiling.
A good solution would be to use LED lamps, as their light is perfectly scattered throughout the room and consumes a small amount of electricity. However, such lighting has a drawback - a high price. Such devices can be of various shades and sizes, they are not able to spoil the interior, but only transform it.

Often in open outbuildings, small lanterns or economical lamps are used, which are located on the railing, and sometimes they are also mounted in walls.
Features
The veranda and terrace have one common feature - this is an additional building. The differences lie in the fundamental type on which they are built.
The verandah is built on the main foundation of the house. That is, it can be done already at the stage of housing construction or attached after some time. The veranda can be glazed and insulated, and it can also be equipped as a living room or dining room.
A terraced structure is a kind of extension, which is located on a separate foundation that extends beyond the building. It is often erected on a hill. This is a kind of outdoor area in the fresh air, which is decorated with railings or fences.
Types of verandas
We list the main types of buildings.
Open
These are unglazed rooms that are found in country houses and are used only in the summer season. When building such a site, the following points should be considered:
- Durable floor and wall finishes.
They must withstand weather conditions well - frosts, sudden changes in temperature, rains. Porcelain stoneware, stone of artificial or natural origin, as well as wood, are suitable as a finishing material. - Furniture paraphernalia - tables, chairs, easy chairs, comfortable sofas. They are best selected from plastic or artificial rattan. Fabric furniture is not worth buying, as it can become damp.
- Textile. This category includes the following elements - awnings, curtains. They should be chosen from a dense and waterproof material. This fabric protects the veranda from wind, rain and dust.
Closed
These rooms are equipped with:
- panoramic windows or with aluminum profiles;
- plastic window openings.
Weather conditions will not affect the condition of the veranda extension in any way, but in the cold season you should take care of heating - install a heater or stock up on warm blankets.
If you do not plan to spend time there in the winter, just bring all the furniture into the house.
Warm glazing
These are rooms with wooden window openings, which are complemented by several chambers and double-glazed windows. With this method of glazing, your extension will become a full-fledged room in which you can relax in any season. It should be furnished and decorated as the main interior, it is not afraid of weather conditions and temperature changes.
How to insulate
The most effective method of insulation is frame. It consists in the following: along the perimeter of the walls, flooring and ceiling, special blocks of wood are laid out with a distance of half a meter from each other, and heat-insulating material is laid in the passes. You can also use mineral or stone wool, they are quite reliable and environmentally friendly. Also, they do not burn and do not take up much space during the warming period.
Ondulin
This is a roof covering that is perfect for a veranda.
It is easy to install, has adequate technical features and looks good. This material is durable and strong. This building material has many advantages:
- Excellent moisture resistance.
- Special fastening technology that does not allow rain to penetrate inside.
- Environmental friendliness and safety.
- Resistance to chemicals - acids and alkalis.
- A light weight.
- Easy to install and lay out sheets.
However, there are also disadvantages:
- Fire hazard.
- Loss of rich hue over time.
- Moss growth on the roof surface.
Ideas: what can be organized in the outbuilding
Obviously, the closed room has more functionality than the open version. It is necessary to carefully consider and decide what the terrace was made for. Also important are the following:

Living area
Here you need to place a sofa and a couple of armchairs, move a coffee or coffee table to them and be sure to take care of warm blankets, they will give comfort to the room. This is a great place to meet friends, read a book, family feast.
Canteen
If you decide to equip a dining room, you should pick up a large table and be sure to serve it. Also, owners often place a sideboard there for storing household utensils - dishes, cutlery, glasses, cups.
Also, such a room can be divided into several zones - for relaxation and for lunch. Here you can arrange breakfasts, dinners and holidays with your family, chat with friends over a cup of coffee, relax after a hard day's work.
