After a long winter’s nap it’s time to welcome spring and give the front porch entry a refreshed look. These ideas will make you and your guests forget winter’s cold gray days and feel lighter and brighter.
Bright Front Door Charmer
A fun bold front door color, like turquoise, is sure to welcome every guest with a smile. Choose a color that pops against your exterior. Soft lighting and pretty planters frame the entry.

Front Porch Swing
Sit down and relax on a front porch swing. Image via Coral CoastA front porch swing provides a lovely escape to curl up with a good book, take a lazy afternoon nap, watch the sun set, or gaze at the stars.
Farmhouse Coastal Front Porch
Farmhouse Coastal uses upcycled and antique items. Image via House Beautiful.Mix the popular Farmhouse style and the ease of Coastal together on your front porch. Antique wood furniture, like this rustic table and armoire create a fuss-free dining space. Use it as a kid’s craft hangout or potting shed.
Add a wicker settee with bright floral or cabana striped pillows to inject some seaside influences.
I met a woman once who picked up discarded furniture on the side of the road. She gave it a hose down and painted her finds. Those pieces were used outdoors “until they rotted away”. So, the lesson is, keep your eyes open for other people’s junk and make it your front porch treasure.
Front Porch Rockers
White wicker and pastels make a soothing front porch setting. Image via DIY Network.A soothing space to rock away and chat while sipping a cold glass of lemonade. (Or giggle and laugh with friends courtesy of a few bottles of wine. No judging here.)
Classic summer white wicker chairs, pastel pinks and soft greens are the perfect recipe for a mellow day on this front porch.
Sectional Front Porch Seating
Sectional seating is the perfect set-up for gathering friends on the front porch, backyard or poolside. The versatility of multiple pieces allows you to arrange them however best suits your needs.
Welcome Mat
Various colors, sizes and styles on WayfairAs told to me from a little boy…
Diner: “Sir, do you serve crabs?”
Waiter: “Yes M’am, we serve everybody.”
Knee slapper…don’t you love how kids crack themselves up? Well it beats his knock-knock joke…you’re welcome for me not sharing that one.
Serve everyone with a warm welcome from the moment they step on your front porch. Coastal and Beach welcome mats sold on Wayfair including this Crab and Shell one.
Door Wreath

Springtime is the time of rebirth and renewal and that includes the places we live. After a long winter’s nap our spaces need a bit of refreshing. Wake up your front porch with a fresh coat of bright paint. Add comfortable seating, cozy pillows and colorful planters. Now you’re ready to sit and relax with family and friends.
