Front porch decorating tips are a good thing for homeowners to brush up on. Have you ever asked yourself the question, “What does my front porch say about me?” Because it certainly does say something!

The front porch is {and should be} a reflection of what’s inside the home. It’s the first impression that visitors and passers-by get of you and your style.

So if you haven’t given much thought to what your front porch is saying, maybe you should. And to help you make the best first impression possible, today’s post has some porch decorating tips from a designer.

If you want to create some serious front porch style, plan for a simple weekend project. That’s plenty of time to implement some of the following front porch decorating tips:

• Some porches are small, and others are large, but whichever you’ve got don’t shortchange it. Even a small porch can act as a small glimpse into the rest of the home. If your living room is decorated in a vintage style, try adding some sort of vintage touch to your porch. 
• The front porch is where you can really combine touches of indoors and outdoors, since it is a transitional space from outside to the inside of your home. If you have vertical space, don’t be afraid to use some artwork on the walls. Purchase canvases that are specifically made for outdoor use, and they’ll hold up much better.

• Paint the front door in a high gloss paint. Don’t be afraid to pull in a color that’s found in your landscape to tie the house into its surroundings.
• An outdoor rug gives the front porch some color. Add comfortable seating and colorful outdoor pillows to bring everything together. The overall look is inviting and welcoming!
• Improvements such as new house numbers, door hardware, and shutters can also make a big impact for a relatively small cost.

Use these front porch decorating tips to help you give your front porch the inviting look you want!
