Tis the season of summer days and outdoor spaces to enjoy them, so we have put together a collection of fresh and inspiring farmhouse style ideas for your porch. One of the most common decor items on porches is greenery, so select your favorite plants and find some unique planters for them. Depending on your space constraints, select furnishings that will accomodate your needs. Decide what you will be using your porch for, will you be entertaining or just using the porch for a cozy sitting area. After you decide on your needs (make a list), you may wish to consider measuring your space to see what size of furnishings will fit.
This could be a swinging daybed, a bench, a pair of rocking chairs, Adirondack chairs, wicker, rattan or resin furniture, a garden stool, coffee table, etc. Other farmhouse porch decor include door mats, welcome signs, chalkboard signs, watering cans, old boots, lanterns and wreaths. You may wish to consider a fresh coat of paint on your front door for some contrast! Farmhouse style can also be changed with the seasons, from hanging wreaths and garlands to other seasonal touches.
One of the main goals of modern farmhouse porch decor is to create an inviting and cozy atmosphere to be with family and friends. One easy way to make outdoor spaces more comfortable is to add soft cushions, pillows, and hanging swings. You can also incorporate light wood tones, natural elements, and pops of color to make the porch feel even more welcoming. To add rustic character to your front porch remodel, consider using handmade shiplap accents, decorative wall hangings, and iron wall sconces. A dining table makes a great focal point; however, a small side table can be a great alternative for enjoying snacks or drinks if there isn’t enough space.
