Porch seating ideas
10 stylish, functional spaces |
Your front porch furniture ideas determine how this prime outdoor space gets put to use, so it's important to choose a setup that works for your lifestyle and your personal style.
While rocking chairs and porch swings are the quintessential furnishing choices for a wide, covered porch, they aren't the only options. Outdoor conversation sets are just right for entertaining neighbors on a summer evening, while a bistro set can take dinner for two outdoors.
However you plan to use your space, there's a front porch idea to suit it, so long as you have the right furniture setup.
Front porch furniture ideas that blend style and function
Why not sit and stay while? These front porch furniture ideas will encourage you to do just that. Perfect as outdoor living room ideas, they will make your space purposeful and beautiful.
1. Create conversation

A ring of outdoor armchairs fosters conversation, turning the front porch into a go-to gathering spot for summer catch-ups with friends and neighbors.
'In the South front porches are more than a place to drop a package or be protected from the rain passing to the front door,' says Atlanta-based interior designer Tish Mills. 'The front porch is a gathering spot to watch neighbors go by or watch the children play in the front yard. I typically include some sort of seating whether it be a full seating arrangement or a bench. It not only welcomes a visitor and sets the tone for the home, but also serves as a place to sit a while.'
2. Create symmetry

On a traditional home, create symmetry by choosing the same furniture setup for either side of your front door, which reflects the refined nature of classic architecture.
At the former home of Gray Malin , the artist chose a rattan Serena & Lily bench for each side of his front porch, adding a touch of variability with mismatched pillow sets.
3. Choose rocking chairs
(Image credit: Grandin Road)
There's a reason for the term 'rocking chair porch.
' A large front porch just begs for a row of rockers (for a small front porch idea, one or two chairs works just as well) that can be used to take in the neighborhood or admire the gardens on a summer evening. For added comfort and style, finish the look with cushions and lumbar pillows that complement the colors of your home.
4. Incorporate wicker

Wicker is the classic choice for outdoor furniture, and has been a front porch staple for decades. It's beautiful and durable, and suits a variety of porch styles.
For a more modern look that doesn't feel like something passed on from your great Aunt, choose wicker pieces with clean lines and streamlined silhouettes, and pair them with contemporary accent furnishings.
5. Hang a porch swing

Besides rocking chairs, a porch swing is the quintessential choice for front-porch furniture. For a uniform look, choose a swing style that suits the architecture of your home.
'My favorite layouts [for front porch furniture] would be a simple lounge area with either of the following pieces, Adirondack chairs, swinging chairs which hang from the home, or two chairs and one sofa with cushions,' says Kate Anne Gross, of Kate Anne Designs , who used this rope-style swing for a client's California porch.
6. Try bamboo furniture

Bamboo furniture is another outdoor classic, with distinctly vintage vibes. It adds character and contrast to a new construction home, like the one by Evans Architects, above. At the same time, the look can easily complement a boho craftsman cottage, a classic Georgian home, and various porch paint ideas and colors by choosing cushion fabric or throw pillows that suit your home's style.
7. Hang a daybed
(Image credit: The Fox Group / Scott Zimmerman)
Give the classic porch swing an upgrade with a hanging daybed, instead. The larger space invites lounging (perfect for summer afternoon naps), and creates more room for decorative throw pillows and cushions, which helps turn the swing into a style feature, too.
For a nautical look, skip the chains and hand the swing by sturdy rope, instead.
8. Use Adirondack chairs
(Image credit: Getty Images)
Want to enhance your beach house decor, cabin decor ideas or a rustic Craftsman house? Then you can't go wrong with Adirondack chairs. Adirondack chairs are comfortable, long-lasting, and low maintenance on a front porch. Plus, you can tailor the look to your home's exterior depending on the color of chair you choose.
Unfished wood options work well for cabins and craftsmen, while white or blue suits coastal homes.
9. Create a dining area
(Image credit: McGee & Co)
Traditionally, front porches are used for small conversation areas or rows of rocking chairs, but if your front porch is your best outdoor living area, there's no rule that says you can't use it as a dining space.
Looking for advice for outdoor dining ideas? For a larger area, opt for an all weather, full size dining table, and for smaller spaces, try a bistro table and a pair of coordinating chairs.
10. Swing in style
(Image credit: Serena & Lily)
A bench-style porch swing might be the classic choice, but a bamboo hanging chair offers just as much fun with an updated look. The popular porch chairs are guaranteed to the coveted seat when guests come over, so hang a few in a row to accommodate your crew, and create greater visual impact.
What furniture looks good on a front porch?
There are a few key considerations that will help you choose the best looking furniture for your porch.
For one, your front porch furniture should be proportionate to the scale of your front porch. So, if you're looking for small front porch ideas, you'll want furniture that is more compact, like a bistro set, or a rocking chair with a small side table.
If your porch is larger, then you'll want to go for pieces that fill out the space. A single bistro set would look insignificant in this case, but a row of three or four rocking chairs, a dining set, or a set of cushioned arm chairs placed in a ring will match the scale of your space.
Additionally, you'll want your porch furniture to go with the architecture of your home, as well as your front porch lighting ideas and porch railing ideas. If you live in a midcentury ranch, traditional Adirondack chairs will feel clunky, for example. Instead, you'd opt for an Acapulco-style chair, or an outdoor bench with tapered legs.
For a traditional home, classic wooden rocking chairs or a shaker-style porch swing would be a natural fit.
What color front porch furniture should I get?
Aside from the size and style of your front porch furniture, you'll also want to consider color. The color of your porch furniture should complement the colors found on your home and in your yard. If you have a black front door and a white front porch you might choose black rocking chairs to give the porch some contrast while also playing up the color of the door.
On the other hand, if you know your front porch flower beds bloom in shades of purple and red, choose furniture and accent pieces that tie in these hues.
Another option? Choose colors from inside your home to bring out onto the front porch. 'I tend to accent the front porch with a main color from the home to give a glimpse of what’s to come,' says Mills.
60 Warm and Welcoming Front Porch Ideas

Your front porch is your home's best chance to make a good first impression. No matter how big or small it might be, whether it is showy or unassuming, and regardless of the style of architecture, your front porch deserves as much attention to design and decor as your interior space.
A front porch can function as nothing more than a pass-through space or double as a second outdoor living room. It can create a convenient landing space for comings and goings, or simply sit there looking pretty, inviting passersby to wonder what else you have going on inside.
Whether you are looking to enhance your home's curb appeal, create a welcoming portal for both you and your guests, or make life a little more pleasant for all of those hard-working delivery people who visit your doorstep every day, check out these front porches in a range of layouts and sizes that don't skimp on style for some clever ideas on how to beautify your own outdoor space.

Making the design with your own hands
1. With stairs
When the recreation area is located at the main entrance, the emphasis should be on the feeling of hospitality, so that you always want to come into your country house. It is enough to place a small table and chairs here, you can put a small sofa. Flowers should be a must. Night lights suspended from the ceiling will look beautiful - in the evening they will create a peaceful mood.

3. As part of the house
If the veranda in a private house is closed, its design can be the same as in an ordinary room. If the space faces the sunny side, make additional windows in the upper part of the walls: such a design, on the one hand, saves from heat, and on the other, allows natural light to penetrate into the room.

A great option would be to use sliding glazing to open windows and feel unity with nature.
Suitable option for light and durable aluminum structures. Windows and doors can be sliding or hinged.

The terrace can also be without a roof.
This option is more often arranged on an exploited roof, which is specially prepared for such use and is a multi-layer structure, each layer of which serves a specific purpose. Usually, a terrace board made of larch or wood-polymer composite is used as a coating. If the larch is not covered with anything, then after a while it will acquire a beautiful silver color. On such a site, it is better to put outdoor furniture made of special moisture-resistant materials.

And now let's look at how to design the veranda of a private house with your own hands: what to consider and what to pay attention to.
1. Divide into zones
Allocate separate places for the dining area and the relaxation area. A corner, an end or a larger area is suitable for placing a table, chairs, benches, and an elongated area for chairs, a hammock or a sofa.

Canopy part can be arranged as pergolas. A pergola is a trellis canopy made of beams that does not block the passage of the sun, but restrains its intensity. In such a place it will be nice to take sunbaths without fear of burns. Climbing plants can be placed along the canopy beams, which will create additional shade.

6. Use colored fabrics
Fabrics for outdoor use should be water-resistant and color-resistant so that they do not get wet from the rain or fade in the sun. Previously, manufacturers limited the colors of such fabrics to light, natural shades that did not allow diversifying the environment. Now there is a wide choice of colors and patterns. Choose a theme and create your corner of joy and color. Use removable covers, so you can diversify your vacation spot every season or create a new color combination.

Hang Curtains Open spaces require a lot of sunlight. If there is glazing, light fabrics that save from direct sunlight are suitable. And when there is no glazing, the ideal option would be special curtains with a dirt and water-repellent coating, which are not afraid of strong humidity and are very easy to care for. These fabrics are not afraid of rain and strong winds, so you don’t have to worry about the condition of the furniture, even if it remains there during rainfall and strong winds.

8. Consider lighting
An interesting version of the lamp in the open area of a country house looks unusual and very comfortable. Luminaires for outdoor use must be protected against dust and moisture, which is determined by the international IP classification system. For street lighting, an IP of at least 44 is suitable, but indoor or semi-closed outbuildings can use interior lights.
Favorite Outdoor wall lamp Guards
Wrought iron chandeliers with glass or acrylic pendants will create coziness with their contrast to the surroundings and give a special touch to the outdoor space. Ceiling lamps-fans will give a sultry evening of coolness.

Plants in photographs from foreign sites may not take root in the local climate. You need to be ready for this. It is not easy for tropical magnolias and wisterias to exist in Russia. A win-win option for the middle lane will be a vine or some types of succulents.

Same as the interior of the house, terraces become an expression of the individuality of the owner. Use accent decor, favorite colors, furniture or individual items to express yourself and your style. Use this space to design and display your hobby or passion. Add atmosphere - candles in candlesticks, garlands, dimmed lights for evening gatherings.

The area around the grill must be framed with fire-resistant material. Modern devices are quite safe. So you can combine the dining and barbecue areas.
A large table, chairs or a bench with soft cushions become a dining area - turn lunches and dinners in the country house into a family tradition with a beautiful dining area.
