Did you know that your front porch is the only impression most people will get of you and your home? From neighbors to people simply driving or walking by, your front porch says a lot about you… whether you like it or not. To outsiders, your porch is a preview to what’s inside. So if it’s cluttered, pristine clean, bare or nicely decorated, your porch is setting the (good or bad) tone for what people think.
- Survey how the space is currently being used. Is it just a transitional area from outside to inside? Or is it an actual living space?
- Consider changing up the entry door with a fresh coat of high-gloss paint. A color that pops but also contrasts the color of the house will create the most impact.
- Update your hardware. An ornamental door knocker or chrome door knobs will quickly renew the space.
- Hang a piece of beautiful art on at least one wall of the porch area if the space is closed in.
- Don’t forget the furniture! Loveseats, sofas, ottomans and coffee tables will make for a very cozy porch space no matter what season it is. Wicker furniture with colorful pillows and cushions work very well for porches and other outdoor rooms.
- Finish off the porch look with an amazing outdoor rug.
