Your porch is one of the first things your family and friends notice when they come to visit, and it’s the thing that first welcomes them as they wait for you to open the front door, so it’s worthy of some extra touches to make it appealing. Here are 12 of my favorite ways your porch can make a massive statement!
1. If your porch is large enough for a couple of chairs or a bench, lay down a welcoming area rug that is suited for outdoor usage. It really adds a pop of color and character to the space.
2. Welcome guests night and day with a lovely trio of lanterns designed for outdoor use. Battery-operated and timed pillar candles are just right! Light them up every evening with no fuss.
3. Add some pizzazz {and growing space!} to your porch with a stylishly elevated planter box. Grow some colorful flowers, some colorful vegetables, or some sweet-smelling herbs–it’s up to you.
4. Turn a porch corner into a place to linger with a lovely swing chair. This one really makes a massive statement!
5. Colorful throw pillows are a great way to make a statement. {Make sure they are for outdoor use so they can stand up to whatever the weather holds}
6. There are a lot of ways these little twinkly lights can light up your porch space. They are bendable and solar-powered, and the copper color is awesome!
7. A doormat is a natural way to make a statement–literally! Find this one and others like it at Amazon.
8. You don’t want to welcome bugs, so consider decorating with some citronella candles like these in galvanized metal tubs. Guests will love them, but the bugs definitely won’t!
9. Sometimes all your porch needs is a colorful fringed hammock perfect for two.
10. Take an old furniture piece like this former TV stand, and give it a bright new coat of paint. Now it serves as a stylish drink center for relaxing evenings on the porch.
11. Instead of a large planter or two, get several small metal planters that work together to pack a punch. These are adorable filled with succulents.
12. Make another literal statement with a welcoming pallet sign perfect for the front porch.
