Tip #1: Paint Your Porch
The first tip is to freshen up your porch with a new coat of paint. Make your home exterior pop with a freshly painted neutral porch. You can even add dimensions with multiple colors like the Hamptons porch photographed above. They added a blush pink on the ceiling and dark green shutters to contrast the bright white paint. So fun for the summertime.

Tip #2: Decorate with a Purpose
What is your design style? Do you like modern farmhouse, country chic, or natural minimalism? Whatever your style is it’s important to decorate with a purpose. The size of your porch doesn’t matter as long as you have the porch staples: seating, tables, and accents. You want your front porch to be welcoming. And you don’t need the cliche “welcome” doormat to greet your guests. If your porch is large enough, add a loveseat and a large coffee table for a cozier look. For a Parisian look, add two vintage chairs and a small table. Don’t add too much clutter. The best decor is flowers. Keep it simple with a few different size planters that compliment each other.
