SMALL FRONT PORCH DECORATING IDEAS

Well, enough about Tink, another name for our feline friend, let us use some of these curb appeal ideas to create some warmth to our small front porch.  Starting with some cleaning.

CLEANING

When starting any porch project after the winter, there has to be some cleaning.

So pull out a broom and knock off cobwebs, dirt, and anything else from the ceiling, walls, and floor.

Wash off everything, if needed, and use some glass cleaner to clean the glass and brass cleaner for any brass.

My kick plate is very old and has discoloration, but I like adding something old whenever I decorate to give it even more character.

However, per a suggestion from a reader, I am going to try a brass cleaner to see if it polishes it up a little more.

Now for some paint touch up.

PAINT TOUCH UP

There is only so much you can do when cleaning your front door.  Sometimes you have to do some touch-up painting or give it a fresh coat.

I painted my front door years ago with Sherwin Williams  Wythe Blue HC 143, and I still love it. So a simple touch up gave it a fresh new look.

So now that porch is clean and fresh let's talk about what you can put in a small front porch.

What can I put in a small front porch?

There are many things you can put on a small front porch to brighten it up and make it feel larger. A few of my favorites are layered rugs, planters with feet so light can travel under them, container gardens on walls, lanterns, and statues.

GARDEN CENTER SHOPPING FOR FLOWERS

I have a secret to share.  I do not have a green thumb.  That would be Mr. Marty.

Well, that doesn't stop me from trying, and since container gardening is a little more manageable, off to the garden center I went.

Does anyone else love walking around garden centers?

Honestly, if they had some hammocks I would go and read a book or take a nap.  It is so peaceful and lovely!

Well, enough of me dreaming.  Begin your porch decorating with flowers.  Here is what I included on my porch

FLOOR FLOWER PLANTER

Since I already had the white planter, all it needed were some flowers.  I simply took a bucket and, in my case, I used an actual pail and drilled holes in the bottom.

My planter is kind of deep and I have tried many pots at the garden center, but honestly, they were never deep enough.

So I decided to try a pail and added small rocks to the bottom.  Then some soil and all my plants.

Here are more detailed directions on container gardens for beginners and farmhouse planter ideas.

I love to put something tall in the middle then shorter flowers around the edge.  It looks nice to add color and some draping flowers too.

WALL FLOWER PLANTER

Okay, here is another secret I am about to share, and this one is super easy.

These vinca flowers are still in their original pots.

Aren't these small front porch decorating ideas easy?  The pots are sitting inside the moss.

If you have an iron wall planter, simply purchase some moss and mold it into the basket.  Then all you have to do is add your flowers that are still in their pots.

Here is a tip about planting flowers on a hot brick wall.  Keep in mind something that doesn't mind the heat and being a little dry.  Your local garden center will help with finding just the right flowers.

LAYERING RUGS

Remember me mentioning, in the beginning, we were going to use some of the Trending Tuesday ideas from the last post?

Well, layering rugs is super hot right now.

Simply look for a rug, an outdoor rug is best, to place under your entry mat.  My rug is actually an indoor rug, but I adored how it went with the front door so I am giving it a try.

Adding a colorful bottom layer rug gives your mat some character and makes your small front porch feel more warm and cozy.

It is the beginning of giving your guest a hint of what is to come inside your home.

PORCH ACCESSORIES

Accessories are like pearls on a black dress.  They add the finishing touches that build character and style.

Think about adding a statue, lanterns, water pail, and the list goes on.  These are the items I used on our small front porch decorating ideas.

This sweet little dog statue was a gift from my hubby years ago.  He looks adorable with some trailing flowers in his basket.

The garden center suggested these flowers called Euphoria White because they don't mind being hot and dry, which is exactly what is going to happen in this tiny pot.

Remember this photo when I was talking about rugs?

Well, this will also help you see how we displayed some of our accessories.

Believe it or not, this plant is artificial.  Adding a tiny artificial plant is okay as long as it looks pretty darn real.

But for the most part, I like to go with real plants and flowers outside.

Watering cans make cute accessories and they are functional too.

This can keep water close by or is easy to fill up at the water spicket.  And I love how it looks on the porch.

Just another warm and inviting piece.

CONCLUSION

So we are all done, and here is the final product, as well as the steps you will need to create character, warmth, and welcome to your friends when they come to visit.

One last thought. Don't forget a wreath. Wreaths are a great way to dress up your front door and you can change them out for holidays. I have a tutorial like this on how to make a heart shaped wreath for Valentine's for spring.

How can I make a small front porch look nice?

See how simple small front porch decorating can be!

I hope this has inspired you to head to the garden center and enjoy a beautiful morning shopping for flowers then creating a lovely front porch.

You will like your porch so much until you will want to pull up a rocking chair and hang out while neighbors go by.

See? Tink seems to like it, too.

Can you believe she posed for the photo?  We all laughed when she sat up and turned around and posed as if to say, I really like my new small front porch.

Happy Decorating!

Instructions

  1. Begin by placing a rug that is a little larger than a doormat. Sit the rug in front of your front door. Next place a doormat on the rug.
  2. Next, create a beautiful flower garden in a pot. Use taller plants in the middle and shorter trailing plants around the edge. Once your container garden is finished place it in a planter. Use a planter that has feet and stands off the floor. This allows light to travel under it and makes space seem larger.
  3. Place a cut bucket or watering can in front of the planter.
  4. Add another container garden in any wall pots.
  5. Add a cute statue to your porch if you have room where it doesn't feel crowded.
  6. Add a sweet lantern and small greenery in another area. Again make sure it does not look crowded.
  7. Last, add a pretty wreath to your front door.

Notes

Go with lighter in scale items if you want many pieces. If you fall in love with something heavier in scale then only use a few items to keep your porch from feeling heavy.

Tips for adding instant curb appeal to freshen up your front entry area. From plants to fabulous front porch decor, these awesome DIY ideas will make your home’s first impression the best impression!

Spring is in the air and as you set foot outside the house, you realized that your front porch is still in winter hangover mode. It’s time to get around to those small maintenance projects in order to make this additional “square footage” livable. Seasonal projects like staining the deck, organizing the garage, or power washing the exterior all enhance curb appeal.

A small front porch doesn’t mean you have to skimp on style though. I have gathered all of our favorite ways to freshen up a small front porch decor and enhance function with clever accessories, DIY upcycled items, plants, and other simple design ideas.

Here are some of our favorite small front porch decor ideas that show off your personal style!

1.

Paint the Front Door A New Color

Choosing a new hue is fun whether choosing paint colors for your home or choosing paint color for your front door.

The most popular door paint colors:

Looking for something more dazzling? Choose a door color that is opposite your house’s main shade on the color wheel.

Pro Tip: Paint colors often look much lighter or brighter/bolder outdoors than the sample on a paint card appears. Try a sample swatch and be prepared to go darker than your original choice.

2. Add a Fun Wreath

A new wreath is the most cost effective and space savvy way to decorate your front porch. Craft a custom hoop wreath for less than $35, even if you don’t think of yourself as crafty.

Searching for something a bit more elaborate? There are gorgeous, preassembled options right at your fingertips.

Design Tip: A 24-inch wreath is just the right size for a standard 36-inch wide front door. Hang it about 14 inches from the top of the door so that it’s centered.

3. Hanging Baskets

Source: The Painted Chandelier

Hang flower baskets to maximize square footage. Bringing plants up to eye level makes an instant impression and is an efficient use of space. One of my favorite ways to use a hanging basket is on a mailbox. It’s a super easy and fast way to brighten up a lowly mailbox.

4. Window Boxes

Source: Pretty Handy Girl

Enjoy the sight of flowering blooms peeking through your windows inside with window boxes. Or plant herbs, hanging vines, or seasonal annuals. You can find the plans for these adorable window boxes from Pretty Handy Girl. Whether you choose a simple DIY palette design or something more elaborate, this architectural detail will enhance any structure.

5.

Personalized House NumbersSource: Etsy

Personalized house numbers add stylish charm to your front porch. Choose a color that has enough contrast with your home or mailbox to maximize visibility.

6. A Welcome Sign

Give your small porch decor a cozy but uncluttered vibe by focusing with just a few accessories. Choose one or two items that reflect your esthetic and build from there. Craft a DIY welcome sign to warmly greet visitors.

Feeling daunted by design tasks? If you’re wondering where to begin break the porch into imaginary zones. Use the front door as your centerpiece.

7. Hanging Wall

Don’t neglect your vertical space! A plant/herb wall like this pallet hanging wall from Jenna Burger Design is suitable for almost any size abode and works especially well for a small front porch. Repurpose a pallet or old fence gate for a creative DIY take, or purchase flush planters crafted specifically for the purpose.

8. Unexpected Finds Small Porch Decor Ideas

Source: The Honeycomb Home

There’s no rule against showing off your favorite thrift hauls or affinity for antiques from the safety of your front porch, as long as it is well covered.

Use an old buffet as an outdoor serving station or as a handy place to stash package deliveries. Flank your door with a set of antique urns. A vintage sign or mirror make great conversation pieces. My friend, Roxanne, is flawless with her vintage porch decorating like using an old milk jug as a side table.

9. Play up Architectural Features

Source: Pottery Barn

Some houses are blessed with columns, archways, or balanced steps that create height and symmetry to draw the eye. If, like me, you don’t have beautiful columns or a natural framework for your front porch, it’s easy to achieve the appearance with planters, window boxes, or shutters to add height.

Design tip: Highlight special features such as corbels, stonework and stucco with shades of white. Contrasting colors will especially make them pop.

10. Add a Unique Doormat

Rugs bring warmth and texture to a porch. Whether you have brick, tile, or concrete slab flooring, the right rug can anchor the space and pull your décor together.  

Since our front door isn’t covered, I purchased a mat tailored specifically for outdoor use. I found this great neutral one for $16! I then layered an outdoor rug to better fit the scale of the door.

11. Curtains

Source: Saw Nails and Paint

Saw Nails and Paint created a stunning summer seating area above with soothing colors natural textures. I especially love the outdoor curtain that provides privacy and a bit of protection. You can purchase outdoor curtains in a variety of fabrics and patterns.

12. Elevate your Outdoor Lighting

Cage Lanterns

Modern lighting solutions are so fun and one of my favorite front porch decor ideas. Your front porch and entryway are quite similar in function and size. So, it only makes sense to draw inspiration for your porch light scheme from entryway lighting ideas.

Not all lighting choices have to be practical! A combination of lanterns, battery-operated candles, and votives placed strategically creates a warm welcome. Don’t leave your garden or walkway area in the dark either. Spotlights, spike lights and floodlights help to illuminate your landscaping feats.

13. Stencil the Floor

Source: BrePurposed

Transform a bland cement porch into a visually dazzling work of art like BrePurposed did here. Stencil patterns are the perfect way to achieve the look of tile at a fraction of the cost. With an array of designs available for purchase, your porch makeover will be far from cookie cutter.

14. Rustic or Cottage Vibe

Source: Nearly Natural

Avoid getting lost in the details and overwhelming the porch with accessories. Streamline your focus and simplify your decor by choosing a theme. For a rustic aesthetic, think cozy blankets, stacked logs, a natural jute rug, and perhaps this fun wooden moose head or a set of antlers.

15. Small Porch Swing

Source: Mostly Lovely Things

This lovely modern porch swing from Mostly Lovely Things is ideal for small spaces! Front porches and swings go hand in hand. There are many modern styles and sizes available for retail, including single seat hammock style swings for tight spaces.

Fun fact: Placing outdoor furniture in a space has a psychologically welcoming affect. Whether your space is large enough for an outdoor farmhouse table, or only big enough for a swing, adding seating is guaranteed to make guests feel at home.

16. Colorful Greenery

The front porch is an outdoor space. Featuring fresh flowers and potted plants is a no brainer. Lush greenery enhances any area.

Easy Perennials for beginners:

Pro Tip: I purchased self-watering planters a few years ago, and I love them. They are virtually maintenance free. Our concrete planters are a fun DIY to create custom planters without the hefty price tag.

17. Add a Pop of Color

Source: Daffodil Lane Wreath

Budget friendly ways to add color:

18. Refresh your Walkway

A little maintenance can go a long way to freshening up a space. We pressure wash our concrete every-other-year. If your walkway area needs a bit more love than that, repair and paint the concrete walkway. We also built this super budget friendly walkway for my parents.

Veranda design: choice of style, materials, tips

Veranda is a great way to organize an extra room in a country house or private house. Do not forget that this is a kind of "calling card" of the whole house: guests see the design of the veranda, then go inside the house. Before decorating the veranda, you need to choose whether your extension will be open or you decide to completely close it and make a cozy place with a gorgeous view from the window. This choice imposes some restrictions when choosing the necessary furniture and design in general.

Contents

The main differences between two similar concepts: terrace and veranda

The veranda can be either closed or open building with any type of roof, while it must be part of the house. The terrace is located outside the main building, so you should initially plan the design of the terrace. When building a terrace, an additional raised base is created, often at a certain elevation from the ground. It must be fenced, otherwise it will be considered an open area outside the house.

The veranda has a common foundation with the house, which distinguishes it from all other types of additional buildings. The advantage is that it can be built together with the house or erected as an additional structure. Often, verandas are created in a closed type, allowing you to decorate it even as a separate room, especially true in the summer.

To create a good overview, choose a large space, while windows can be on 2-3 sides. The porch should not be confused with the veranda, because it has no roof and walls or they do not border on the main building. Do you want to create a full-fledged room, like in a private house? Insulate and completely close the extension, decorate it in the required style and arrange functional furniture.

How are terraces and verandas divided?

Verandas can be closed and open. To save time, it is worth planning the structure before the construction of the main building. If the foundation is solid, the risk of cracks on the walls of the additional building will be significantly reduced. The extension must be documented along with the plan as part of a private house or cottage. If you decide to create a veranda after the construction of the main building, be prepared to pay additional money to complete the entire package of documents. Exterior decoration should be as similar as possible or made in the same style with the whole house.

Terrace design is divided into three types.

Open type - a territory without a foundation, which can be additionally covered with a canopy.

  1. Great for a summer holiday in the country. Not popular due to the specific climate.

Closed version - equipped with a foundation separate from the main building, walls are installed.

  1. If you want the terrace to serve all year round, take care to install ventilation and heating systems.

Versatile terrace is one of the most popular options, thanks to the additional splitting of double-glazed windows and doors, which makes it easy to convert an open version into a closed one.

Equipped with a mechanism that allows folding roofs and walls. Built on foundation, easy to implement heating system

You can choose any type according to your desires and possibilities. It is better to take care of this even before building a house, the creation of a separate building will be much more expensive. In addition, you will lose time on the execution of an additional package of documents.

Advantages of this method:

Before construction, it is necessary to draw a diagram, select a material, and then start building the frame. You need to choose a frame made of brick or wooden beams. If you do not want to spend money on buying new material, make a frame from what is left after the main building.

Choice of Style

The style must be chosen the same as the house was decorated or be as similar as possible to it. It is not necessary to create a veranda in an identical style, you can take the main points from the interior design of a private house and place them on the veranda. Styles such as country or Provence are best suited for her. Thanks to the interweaving of comfort and simplicity, you can create a place that is ideal for relaxation.

Materials

Remember the basic rule: no artificial materials, everything must be natural. If you have a lot of space, you can make an additional stone wall that will resemble a loft. The floors are made using porcelain stoneware - a wear-resistant material that can last for a huge period of time, while it requires a minimum of maintenance effort. It is best to use panoramic glazing that transmits light, illuminating the plants.

Tip! Install glass sliding doors that allow freshness to enter at a certain moment or, on the contrary, to protect from rain.

The palette should be natural to keep the overall atmosphere. Close to natural colors are suitable for decoration: green, brown and terracotta.

Layout

Choose according to the purpose of the veranda: you can create both a small cozy place to relax and a full-fledged dining room, hallway or living room. If you are not going to create a kitchen from an extension, it is enough to purchase a designer table and light chairs so that you can sometimes chat over a cup of tea. You can cook a barbecue, then you need a barbecue.

If you need a veranda for country feasts with a huge number of friends and relatives, then the layout must be carried out taking into account all the rules. Divide the area for cooking and eating separately. In the first one, you need to put an oven and a grill, a cutting table and separately purchase cupboards for dishes. Properly organizing the placement of kitchen furniture, you can rid yourself of the kitchen inside the house.

On warm days, the veranda is a great place to relax in the fresh air

If you create a room for relaxation, it will not be superfluous to put a coffee table. In the case of creating a full-fledged kitchen, purchase cabinets, otherwise they will be useless. A rocking chair and slides with various plants look great to create a relaxing atmosphere.

The space around the main premises

The veranda must be in the same style with the surrounding landscape. If there is a garden, it should organically continue the style of the extension. For example, you choose the English style for decorating the veranda, make sure that the garden was in the same style. It can be organically combined with other areas surrounding the house:

Vertical landscaping is ideal for an open veranda to cover existing openings. Our climate is favorable for various climbing plants, so you can give the veranda an incredible appearance and at the same time save yourself from the sun at no additional cost.

Vertical gardening can make the air more humid by reducing dust levels. If you want to give an unusual look to the extension, you can independently purchase rare plants, but you will have to spend a considerable amount of money. You can use the classic version: hedges serve as decoration. It is worth decorating the veranda not only inside, but also outside, planting coniferous trees and small shrubs nearby.

The veranda is being built to become a great place where you can take a break from everyday hustle and bustle, relax and forget about all the problems. On the contrary, you can make it a place to work with an ideal view.

So that the porch does not look empty, it is decorated with flower shelves, vases, panels and lamps of various shapes.

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.
