My LOONG porch!! Help!!

10 years ago
My porch is 50 feet long, but only 6 1/2 wide. We have gorgeous mountain views and love to sit, eat, and play on the porch; but it really needs furniture. Any layout/furniture suggestions?

    You could use four wooden rockers, 2 at either side of the front door. Place a small round metal table at the corner with 2 iron chairs. Have 2 or 3 outdoor rugs for color.

    That is a long porch! You could buy furniture and create rooms if it was not so short on the width. Do you want furniture for a lot of people or just your family? If you have guests or other family members on a regular basis, you will definitely want quite a bit of furniture.

    I bought one rug. It is 5x7 and looks tiny! I really can't go wider, so I am kind of stumped! I wish rugs came in odd sizes!

    You could do several groupings of chairs, rockers, outdoor couches, and so forth.

    Love the idea of white rocking chairs. Maybe a swing in the corner area :)

    We have a swing but the chain broke and needs to be replaced. Also have a wicker love seat, and a round wicker table with 4 chairs all in storage. I just don't have a clue how to put any of it together, or what else to buy!!

    Check out Pier 1. They have lost of different types of seating. Swings, chairs, rockers. I would add some color in the furniture, maybe red or yellow so it stands out on the porch. Do you have room on the corner of the porch for a table and 2 hanging swings? or duel rockers?

    Put 2 chairs and table on each side of door in front of windows. Do your swing on the corner or maybe 2.

    Ok, which rug do you think? I ordered the bright one, but the background is khaki not white. Also, I not sure if something that colorful will look good?
    Or should I condense the color palate a little with this rug?

    I have several wicker pieces in need of painting. I could paint them white, or any/every color of the rainbow??

    Oh, and I found this at a thrift store for $40 this week!

    Do the colorful rug and paint the chairs to match, orange? red? blue, green, yellow. Color=Happy and Fun.

    I'd use several longer narrower rugs. This one is sold on Houzz and has several colors 2'6" X 10'.

    I’ll try and send a picture of my parents house ....they have 2 adirondacks with a table between on one end of porch and a porch swing on the other end . They tied both sides together with coordinating pillows it looks awesome

    I suggest increasing the width of the porch. You will have enough room to create a cosy space to enjoy your beautiful views,

    Love the black white and red colour scheme, so smart. Plants. You can have a piece of carpet cut and edged made into a long runner
