Front Porch Designs | 10 Ideas We Can't Get Enough Of
Jump to:
Your front porch is what new visitors or passersby base their first impressions on. So a unique front porch design is on the higher end of our list of musts for your home.
Whether you prefer large porches that provide ample entertainment space, or cozy front porches, there are multiple ways to make your outdoor areas unique.
10 Front Porch Ideas We Love
From the overall shape of the porch to the accents that make people look twice, a unique front porch design creates a lasting first impression. Here are ten unique front porch design ideas to help you take your front porch to the next level.
1. Porch Swings
Jason Finn/Shutterstock
A brightly colored or dark-stained wooden swing on a neutral-colored porch can make a big statement. It shows the occupants are creative and embracing a tradition that isn’t seen on as many porches today as they were years ago.
The lack of porch swings is interesting because it’s a fun spot for sweethearts to look at the stars together or parents to read a story with their kids on a cool summer night.
Just make sure to have your porch structure checked by a professional to ensure it can support the weight of a swing plus the weight of its occupants. If it can’t, porch swings can be purchased that support themselves on an attached frame.

2. Wrap Around Porch
Artazum/Shutterstock
Why stop at just the front porch? There’s no law that says a front porch must only be in the front. Wrap-around porches are a great option to extend the outdoor living space to the whole area around your home, giving children more room to play and more area to decorate for the holidays.
Choose one color scheme for the whole wrap-around porch or section the areas into complementary patterns to break it up. Potted plants and decorative vases can be an inexpensive way to fill the larger spaces. This design will take more space, materials and cost more, but it can be a good substitute for a full deck.
3. No Railing
Joe Hendrickson/Shutterstock
Opting out of choosing a railing may seem a bit unorthodox, but it can work in the right situation.
This option works exceptionally well with wrap-around and L-shaped porches.
It gives the illusion of an even bigger space as, without a railing, there’s no formal stopping point. The eye extends the visual and working area even further from just the porch to include the surrounding lawn.
Of course, there is safety and security to be considered. Install railings where the ground doesn’t rise to meet the porch to avoid tumbles or where people are present that may be unsteady on their feet.
4. Country-Style Flooring
The Focus Mantra/Shutterstock
Reclaimed wood from barns and older homes or distressed and darkly stained planks have made great flooring options in the home, and they can also make a great flooring option for front porches.
Staining distressed wood is a fun way to recycle wood, and with a suitable color scheme, it can be a bold and attractive option that is just as durable as new wood.
For maximum effect, pair the darker flooring with a brightly colored door and light neutral colors for the walls and railing of the home.
A more subtle effect can be had with a lighter stain on the wood while still giving a country feel.
5. Accent with Fabrics

If you live in a rental home or are happy with the color scheme on your front porch, you may feel limited by what you can do to improve the look. However, as long as it’s covered or can be covered when not in use, you can further your front porch design by adding fabric to it rather than paint or installing new flooring.
The two main options that shouldn’t break your budget are area rugs instead of new flooring and pillows and throws for pops of color and comfort. Area rugs in fun designs and bright colors are available online and in many furniture stores.
They can provide comfort on the feet when placed under tables and help to prevent dents and scuffs to the flooring. Match or contrast the rug and existing color scheme with lots of pillows for seating and even more comfort. Drape soft throws for later use on the backs of chairs for when the weather turns chilly.
6. Glass Railing

More homes are embracing attractive railing options outside of the typical spindle design, and glass railings are definitely eye-catching. They offer an alternative to no barrier at all for elevated porches without obstructing the sight-line of those sitting on the porch.
However, glass porches can be pricey because of the materials used and will require additional upkeep to keep them clean and free from scratches. Homes with children might find little hands naturally gravitate to the panels and leave little fingerprints.

7. Minimalism

Lots of plants and fabrics can give a porch a cozy bohemian vibe, but the design doesn’t have to be cluttered if that’s not your style. With the right amount of minimalism on a front porch, you can inspire a clean and welcoming space that will extend right into the home once the front door opens.
To achieve this, paint the walls a solid color and install a lighter-colored flooring that draws the eye up to the front porch. A light stain will also help emphasize what is there and may even make the porch look bigger.
Minimalism doesn’t mean no furniture at all. It just means picking a few higher-end or very meaningful items like designer seating, handcrafted table, or an heirloom rocking chair.
Any of these items can say more than a complete patio set. The key to this design is to choose items that speak to your style that you and your guests will appreciate and remember that less is more.

8. Paved Front Porch

Not every home has a formal built-up front porch, but that doesn’t mean the area outside the front door can’t be enjoyed and even used for small-scale entertaining. Paving stones can replace traditional flooring; they just may need sweeping occasionally.
Instead of railings, you can plant large privacy bushes around the property to break up the space. Add flowers with a pleasant perfume or even herbs for cooking to add more ambiance.
Whether it’s a small area only big enough for a bench to sit and enjoy a morning coffee or a larger space that can house a table and chairs set, draw on nature for a color palette and stick to materials that you can easily clean. If rain or sun will be an issue, add a small awning or patio umbrella.

9. Bright Front Door

With the rise of the subdivision and large gated communities, a brightly colored front door on an otherwise cookie-cutter house can not only get your attention, but it can also give your guests an indication that they’re at the right place.
Brightly colored front doors may also be a good compromise if your homeowners’ association has front porch design regulations that prevent you from changing the design.
Front doors are available in many different materials with traditional knobs, hinges, and locks to further accent the bright color.
Maybe you don’t want to go as bright as this lime green door, but pink, orange, pastel, and even black are quickly becoming popular front door colors instead of the traditional steel or wooden door painted white.
10. Compliment Your House
Chris Haver/Shutterstock
A great front porch shouldn’t just draw your attention to its design; it should also complement the design of the house. If the home has large windows or an exciting feature, the front door should emphasize it and not detract from the details.
Offset prominent features by adding smaller unassuming pieces like wicker furniture, crates, and special pillows and fabric accents. You can also place plants along naturally occurring lines to draw the eye in—just avoid brightly colored flowers.
Things to Consider
Designing a new porch or vamping up your existing space are great ways to give your home a unique curb appeal.
Before moving forward with this process, there are many aspects to consider and even some things you want to avoid.
- Available Space. The space available to build your front porch or revamp your porch is an essential consideration. Ensure you have the square footage needed to make the necessary upgrades.
- Location. The location of your home is an indicator of the overall design you may be trying to accomplish. For instance, if you live in town, you may want to focus on colorful accents or bright flooring to make you stand out from other homes in the neighborhood. On the other side, if you live out in the woods, you may not be concerned with the overall draw to your porch but rather the use of glass railings, so you have a clearer view of the natural beauty around you.
- Budget. Budget is a vital piece of the puzzle when it comes to your front porch design. Ensure your desired porch design fits within your budget before deciding to move forward.
- Purpose of the Porch. Is your porch a hotspot for entertaining large groups or lounging around with the family? Understanding the function of your outdoor area will better equip you to make the right decision on the final design and layout.
- Time of Year the Porch Is Used. If you only use your porch in the summer months, you probably don’t want an outdoor fire pit. However, a screen may be an attractive feature to keep the summer bugs out. Similarly, if you use your front porch year-round, a firepit and a retractable bug net are necessary features.
What’s Your Favorite Front Porch Design?
Having a front porch design that fits your specific entertainment needs is essential to determining what unique features and designs to include in your front porch renovation.
Before making a final decision on your front porch design, consider the overall purpose of your porch and what features and designs will best fill those needs.

How to decorate the porch of a private house
The porch is an obligatory element of the entrance part of the building and its “visiting card”. The desire to decorate your own home, taking into account fashion trends and personal taste preferences, is inherent in almost everyone. The design of the porch of a private house should emphasize the integrity of the entire structure and make it more attractive. There are many options for decorating the entrance part of the building, so we suggest that you consider the most popular and interesting of them. nine0005
Wooden porch
The most popular option is the installation of wooden decking on the porch. In most cases, such structures are made from pine wood, as the most inexpensive and popular natural raw material.
If the porch is properly sealed, varnished and painted, it will look attractive for many years.
This is an up-to-date way of decorating a country-style façade. This design can be supplemented with wood-based porch decor, which will bring the atmosphere of a country cottage. Wood can be supplemented with stone, which is relevant not only for country style. In suburban private buildings, these two materials look quite harmonious together and are suitable for finishing scaffolds, doors and use as a decor. nine0005
Concrete porch
Concrete is considered a versatile material that is inexpensive and reliable, and is also optimal for making a porch. This is a monolithic structure that will not begin to stagger over time, which is sometimes inherent in wooden products. In addition, it can be easily repaired and decorated with any decor. Do not forget that the concrete porch can be of various shapes, which will not particularly affect the price and the amount of time to complete the task.
nine0005
Concrete structures can be decorated with tiles, such as clinker tiles. There are options trimmed with stone, and also painted with paint, and processed with other materials. In modern buildings with a facade of wood, brick or siding, a concrete porch can be left without additional coverage. This allows you to emphasize the features of the texture of the walls and their colors.
Brick porch
A brick porch is a more expensive option than the previous ones, but it also looks attractive and is considered a fairly reliable solution for decorating a house. Installation of the structure may take more time and require serious effort, but in the future the work will pay off with a vengeance, since it does not require additional care. nine0005
Often, a brick porch has a concrete base or a step covering based on other materials. There are options with laying tiles on the steps. It looks at home, inspires confidence and adds reliability to the building.
But be careful, as any step covering you choose should not be slippery, otherwise this area will become potentially dangerous in the cold season due to snow and ice.
Stone porch
Natural stone is considered a classic option. Such raw materials are durable, presentable and durable, which is especially important. There are many varieties of stone, with some suitable for the base, and a number of others for creating decorative elements (and the raw materials for making the base will cost much more). Although, in general, all types of stone are able to withstand adverse weather conditions, and it will not require additional maintenance for a long time. nine0005
If the building is made of stone, then you can fit a porch with columns into the overall structure. Natural stone can be combined with monumental elements. Such a composition will look harmonious.
Metal and wrought iron porch
Usually, when talking about a forged or metal porch, they mean decorative parts of the structure - canopies, railings, steps, which are made on the basis of metal.
But sometimes a completely metal porch is installed in a private house. nine0005
The main advantage that such designs have is increased strength and durability. However, you will have to constantly paint and treat the porch so that it does not deteriorate due to corrosion. Moreover, the metal floor will be cold enough, so it is not suitable for arranging a terrace. The latter option requires a concrete base or wood flooring on a metal base.
Porch with canopy
In most cases, canopies continue the roof and, together with the porch, perform an important function of protection from the effects of precipitation and solar radiation. This is a great option for arranging a comfortable entrance to the building. nine0005
If the building has architectural features that would not allow a canopy over the main entrance, even a small one, replace it with a canopy. Such a detail will not only partially perform the functions of a canopy, but will also be able to diversify the appearance of the building, and if you choose the product correctly or make it in an original way, it will become a real decoration of the exterior.
Even a small canopy can make the entrance to a private house more presentable. The shade from it can protect from the sun, as well as save from streams of water during rain, if you open the doors or wait for the car. nine0005
Porch with steps and railings
If the house has a high foundation and you can install steps that will lead to the main entrance, the installation of railings will be relevant. This design will make the exterior of the building appear safer and more stable, and will also serve a very specific function and help residents and visitors enter the house in bad weather.
This is the traditional design of the entrance to the building. It can be combined with a canopy or canopy, as well as additionally decorated with various designs to make the composition look complete. nine0005
Terraced porch
If the area in front of the front door allows you to organize a place to relax, then you can equip an open or closed terrace.
There may be a swing for children on it, or it will simply be a place for a comfortable stay near the house, and an opportunity to protect yourself from bad weather conditions.
Spacious terraces can be equipped with garden furniture for comfortable relaxation, pots with plants, and as a result get an attractive appearance of the building and a cozy atmosphere. Install pendant lights or place outdoor wall lights nearby. They will be able to illuminate the approach to the porch, for example, the paths leading to the building. nine0005
If the building has a high foundation, it is necessary to form a porch using steps. As a result, a terrace with a seating area will be at a certain elevation, when compared with ground level. Frame steps and flooring with stone or concrete, treated wood, or brick to provide protection from moisture or insects.
Glazed terrace is a must for those who live in cold climates. Compared to other options, this one is much more difficult to design.
But it is this type of porch that can be considered the most functional. nine0005
When designing the design, you can choose different materials or options for arranging the entrance to the house. However, when choosing a design, remember that the porch is an important architectural element, so it should match the architectural style of the house.

nine0004 Many future owners of a private country house, which is just being built, do not pay much attention to the porch, and some even forget to build it. Someone simply did not provide for it, for others it may not be necessary to install it. However, in fact, the porch in a suburban house is a very important and complex architectural addition to the house, in addition, it can also have an aesthetic function, thereby indicating the elegance and originality of the building as a whole.
nine0005
Therefore, its construction must be taken with all seriousness and responsibility, since it is from it that the entrance to the house begins. At the same time, most owners of their houses are trying to equip the facade of their house in such a way that everyone around would like it, the same applies to all extensions to the house.
It should be noted that from the point of view of practicality and convenience of construction, it is desirable to build it last, and if possible not together with the house, but separately. nine0005
The fact is that building a porch with your own hands will not be very difficult, almost anyone who understands at least a little about construction can handle this work. At the same time, in the process of adding to the house, you can come up with various options for the structure right on the go or improvise a little.

Article summary:
Material selection
Almost any available building material can be used as the base material for making a porch. As a rule, the main material for this extension is still concrete. However, you can use other materials such as: brick, stone, wood, forged metal.
In this case, brick is not recommended, as it is very strongly exposed to precipitation and temperature, which will eventually lead to its destruction, cracks will be visible on the brick and chips will form, and this will spoil the appearance of the facade. nine0005
But porch options using stone or wrought iron are a very complex and expensive option. Therefore, the most optimal construction option is made of concrete.
At the same time, it can be built in various shapes and types, after which, if desired, you can make a special lining to imitate stone or brick, and additionally embellish with various elements of forged metal.
This option is the most acceptable both in terms of material choice and in terms of money. nine0005
Let's take a look at the most common porch designs.
Open deck with steps
This is the easiest way to build this extension. There is practically nothing complicated here, except to properly mount the steps for the porch. A canopy is not provided for this design, so this option is the fastest in terms of construction.
Platform with closed walls
As a rule, this type is installed on low elevations, where special railings with railings prevent falls. At the same time, the fences and railings themselves can perform not only a protective function, but also a decorative one.
Closed porch
This type is primarily suitable for large and spacious country houses, where it is possible to make one part as a veranda, and the second directly at the entrance to the house, while the area itself should be very extensive.
nine0005
This option is very convenient, since you can receive guests both in its closed part, for example, if the weather is bad outside, and in the air. Therefore, a closed porch is a very interesting option.
Building a wooden porch
Before you start building a porch to the front of the building, you need to have a clear plan and drawing of the structure. At the same time, the drawing must indicate all the necessary parameters and dimensions of the structure, as well as the structure of the steps, their height and width, the parameters of handrails and railings. You should not forget about what you want to see in the end, this is a very important point. nine0005
Next, you need to decide on the foundation and its dimensions. After all, the durability of the structure and its reliability largely depend on a high-quality and reliable foundation.
As a rule, the choice of foundation is influenced by a number of important factors, such as: the presence of groundwater in the soil, the terrain (hills, hills).
After that, you can get to work.
It is recommended to use hardwood beams for a wooden porch during operation, so that it would serve a long service life. nine0005
Equally important is the staircase, which is the link between the facade of the building and the porch. It is necessary to choose the method of constructing a staircase from the structural features of the facade of the house, here the choice is very large.
Building a metal porch
Metal porch is mainly made for cottages or small private houses. This type of porch is the most popular and popular, second only to wood. Knowing all the required dimensions, such a porch can be pre-welded, and then the finished structure can be delivered directly to its destination. nine0005
If there are no decorative elements made of forged metal in this design, then its cost will be much less than that of concrete or wood. Therefore, although the wrought iron porch is very beautiful and has a stunning view, it is quite expensive and also very difficult to install.
For such a porch, it is allowed to lay the foundation of a lighter version, since the metal is a rather elastic material, therefore, the impact on its soil does not have any effect. And in some cases, for such a design, the foundation is completely unnecessary. nine0005
Steps for this design can be made entirely of metal, or you can additionally make a wooden step, it all depends on your fantasy and imagination.
Concrete porch building
The construction of the porch in this version is quite troublesome and complicated. It is characterized by the presence of a solid and reliable foundation, so it can stand as long as the house itself.
At the same time, an important feature in the construction of this type of porch is that inside the formwork it is necessary to reinforce the steps with reinforcement. And in general, it is necessary to make a frame from reinforcement in the image of the structure, all this is necessary for a more reliable structure.
It is recommended to pour concrete in one step, but it is very difficult, therefore pouring with short breaks is allowed. This means that when the first pour was poured and slightly dried up, then you can gradually pour further concrete mortar. And so to the top of the formwork. nine0005
Canopy and canopy
The canopy over the porch is very convenient and practical in terms of the safety of the building of the house. Most often, a porch with a canopy serves as protection from the weather, at the same time, it can also perform a decorative function.
As a rule, the hanging canopy can be mounted on almost any part of the wall or surface of the facade of the house, with the exception of frame or prefabricated panel walls.
Almost every canopy, with the exception of a gable or arched canopy, must be equipped with a special gutter that diverts the water stack to the side.
Thus, choosing a porch to your taste is not as easy as it seems.
The whole difficulty lies in the variety of choices and in the cost. If you have any difficulties with the choice, you can familiarize yourself and see the bright and colorful photos of the porch, maybe you will find something for yourself. nine0005
