How to decorate front porch

3 months ago

Hi everyone,
Summer is approaching and I'd like to have a plan for how to decorate my front porch. Should I do planters? I do like the look of ferns. Any ideas on how to spruce up this entry with greenery is welcome!

    Due to the narrow entry area, I don't think there is room for plants. They'd be in the way. How about three nice pots of plants at the base of the garage columns?

    Good idea, though I think two planters would be plenty, one flanking each side. Thanks!

    I would go with plants on a side

    Celery, love the rendering with the plants. Would it be overkill to do the planters in addition?

    On walkway to entryway where it’s wider on the right I would put a large round colored pot and fill with impatiens and creeping jenny

    ^Was thinking the same as jackowskib.

    Just wondering…the black garage doors pull the focus for me. Would you ever consider a color that blends more the brick?

    Very nice from Celery!

    Chloe bud, our garage doors used to be beige and blend in. Then we changed our front door to a contemporary black and have plans for black windows.

    Got it…black windows could help with ”balance.”

    To your questions specifically about the porch, I'd add one slender urn situated in front of the far left glass panel with a fern, or other shade loving plant in it. Nothing too big as you don't want to reduce the porch area. But, just this little touch of green on the porch will help connect it visually to the grassy and planted area on the right.

    Chloebud, thank you for that. You are absolutely right. However, it's always nice to get a little validation :)
