Summer is almost here, so let the outdoor fun begin! In the upcoming months, you are for sure going to be spending more time outdoors than indoors. And whether you are searching for front porch ideas or patio decorating ideas, having an outdoor space you love to spend a lot of time in is a must!
The front porch is typically the first thing guests see before entering your home. Having a beautifully decorated porch is equally as important as your interior décor. Making the front porch an inviting and welcoming space gives a great first impression.
With so many different porch styles out there, such as a wrap-around porch, small porch, covered porch, or screened porch, finding ideas for your specific space may be a challenge. Which is why I have compiled 10 Front Porch Ideas that will help you recreate your dream porch:
Here are 10 Porch Ideas You Can Easily Recreate:
1. Add a Porch Swing with colorful pillows.
A porch swing is a nice edition to any porch. Not only will you enjoy it but also your children and guests will absolutely love it. Adding gorgeous decorative pillows really helps to decorate the space as well. Oh and if white is not the color you want, I have also seen porch swings in black or different wood tones you can find here on Amazon!

I love buffalo plaid! And I love the idea of placing a buffalo plaid rug under a welcome mat. Also this rug comes in black and white plaid as well. What a sweet greeting your guests will receive when they walk onto your porch!
5. Let your guests know they are welcome with a Welcome Sign.
Besides a welcome mat, there is no better way to let your guests know they are welcome than with a welcome sign. I have seen several of my neighbors with these signs on their front porch and I must say I really think they look amazing. What I like the most about this sign is that it is 2 sided with a different message. Letting you change up your welcome sign anytime you like!
6. Adorable Planters for your front porch.
These planters are simply adorable for your front porch! They are very attractive and come 2 in a pack for a cheap price. That’s right you get a classy look on a budget!
7. Fill a super cute Planter Wagon with plants.
This planter wagon is so cute! And I have seen them several times in my local home decor stores and have considered buying one for my own porch. However, I didn’t see one that I just really liked. However, this one in particular would be perfect for my porch and it’s available in red, green, and blue!
8. Cover outdoor pillows with beautiful pillow covers.
I have been searching high and low for the perfect pillow covers for my outdoor couch pillows. And I believe I have found them. The message on the pillow case is my absolute favorite thing about it!
9. Bring life to your front porch with artificial plants.
Okay I have to be the first to admit that anytime I can save time I am all for it. And using artificial plants instead of real ones will minimize the amount of maintenance you will need to do. Your porch will look great year round and not require any watering!
10. Hang a sign that is also a great conversation starter.
If you are new to the neighborhood or just want to meet your neighbors, this is a great sign to let people know they are welcome. Just think, sitting and talking with you may be the highlight of their entire day!
