It can be fun to decorate your porch with a specific theme in mind.

Shabby chic decor and springtime go hand in hand.
Make use of salvaged windows and doors that double as porch decor.
Your space will look unique, and you’ll be going green by repurposing these unused items.
Display Dried Florals

There’s nothing wrong with displaying dried flowers if real plants aren’t so much your thing.
Dried flowers often last several years and are a sustainable way to add a natural touch to your front porch.
Hang a Chalkboard

Chalkboards aren’t just for indoors—they can be a great way to greet your visitors, too.
Hang one up on the porch and jazz it up with a seasonal message or another friendly saying, as we see here.
Plus, younger members of the family may enjoy utilizing the chalkboard to show off their artistic talents.
Install a Swing

Now that warmer weather is finally here, you’ll want to enjoy your front porch as much as possible.
A porch swing is perfect for those carefree spring mornings spent out front sipping a cup of coffee before anyone else wakes up.
The addition of a footrest makes it even easier to kick back comfortably for hours on end.
Refresh Throw Pillows

Revive your space with fresh new outdoor pillows that you’ll be eager to use all season long.
The addition of chairs and pillows also makes the front porch feel much more warm and welcoming, encouraging family and friends to come on by.
Set Up a Seating Area

If your porch offers ample space, set up a little seating area with folding chairs, some pillows, and a side table or two.
A rug helps section off this little nook, while planters and hanging accessories will make this spot feel ultra peaceful and springy.
When the weather gets chilly again, simply fold the chairs up and set them inside the garage for easy storage.
Decorate With Mixed Plants

There’s nothing wrong with keeping your porch more minimal if that’s your style.
Here, a mix of tall, leafy plants in mismatched neutral planters do the talking.
Set Up a Reading Corner
@cori.hatch / Instagram
An egg chair is the perfect spot in which to curl up alone with a good book.
Place one of these on your front porch this season, and we guarantee you’ll never want to go back inside.
A throw blanket is extra ideal if you plan to sit outside and read on chillier nights.
Hang a Spring Wreath

Wreaths aren’t just for the winter holidays; you can display one on your door any time you’d like.
Choose a spring-like design and enjoy.
Choose a Peppy Doormat

Doormats are one way to make a first impression—why not have a little fun with yours?
Pick a design with a phrase or pattern that you’ll be happy to see each and every day.
Choose an Oversized Planter

Large planters are having a major moment and are oh-so-stylish.
This one holds a beautiful olive tree that visitors will surely want to stop and admire.
Layer Doormats

Bring the Indoors Outside

Light Some Candles

Squeeze in a Small Bench

Even the smallest corner can become a place to sit back and enjoy the outdoors if you get creative.
Positioning a petite bench right by the entryway doubles as a handy spot to sit down and remove muddy rain boots before heading indoors.
Welcome Your Guests

No need to go overboard—one friendly sign will go a long way.
This “welcome” sign matches the home’s exterior perfectly and offsets the planters on the other side of the door.
Try Adirondack Chairs

Adirondack chairs are a front porch staple.
Ultra classic, they will stand the test of time, both due to their craftsmanship and popularity.
Add Rocking Chairs

A pair of rocking chairs will add a timeless feel to any style front porch.
We foresee many spring days spent right here with a glass of lemonade in hand.
Set Up a Sofa
@stagerroz / Instagram
Outdoor sofas make it possible to easily lounge outside with the whole crew without worrying about having enough seating.
This setup could easily fit five comfortably. Why not host your next book club or game night from the porch?
Style With Rain Boots
@thefinleyfarmhouse / Instagram
Always use your rain boots in the garden?
Style them so that they blend in with your front porch vignette when not in use.
Hang a Mirror
@little_sisters_countryhome / Instagram
Mirrors are by no means solely for inside the house.
Hanging one on the porch will make an outdoor space feel a bit bigger by bouncing around natural light.
Set Up a Side Table
@periwinklepixieco / Instagram
Side tables like the one shown here aren’t just for the living room.
They make for great stands for flower pots, gardening tools, or even trays of drinks while hosting.
Bonus points if you can score one at a thrift store or yard sale on a budget.
Use a Symmetrical Layout
@pineapplesdesigngroup / Instagram
When in doubt, go symmetrical.
This setup looks orderly yet welcoming thanks to the abundance of colorful flowers and hurricane lamps filled with candles.
Set Out a Bar Cart
Bring the comforts of the living room out to the front porch with a stylish bar cart.
Just bring any bottles and other valuables back inside when you’re not hosting—you don’t want your entertaining essentials to live outside permanently.
Display Rabbit-Themed Decor
@velveteenandgrace / Instagram
Rabbit-themed decor is also perfect for Easter (and spring in general).
A few figurines and a throw pillow with an illustrated bunny will do the trick.
Decorate With Greenery
@brunoandlibby / Instagram
Simple wreaths made from greenery will never go out of style and can be dressed up or down as you wish.
For example, you could weave dried flowers with them for a more rustic touch or even jazz them up with some colorful ribbon.
Hang a Pair of Planters
@thehelmshouse_ / Instagram
Don’t forget to use your porch’s height to your advantage when it comes to decorating.
Installing hanging planters will allow you to add more greenery to your space in a snap.
Choose a Pastel Dining Set

A pastel dining set is all you need to enjoy dinners al fresco with a friend or solo.
Opting for something that can fold is always beneficial, particularly if you live in a small space.
Use Woven Wicker Planters

We guarantee the compliments will roll in.
Go Bold
