Front porches are making a comeback, and that’s according to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), which saw an increase in requests for such in many home improvement projects. Whether it is an addition or an enclosure, having a front porch means that many households are looking for another place to hang out apart from the backyard deck or patio. Here are some of the best ideas to consider when decorating the front porch.

Comfortable Seating
A front porch won’t be complete without seating. There are a variety of furniture choices that can be considered, all of which combine comfort and style. Traditional outdoor benches or classic Adirondack chairs are some of the suggestions. Placing rugs around the seating areas will ensure comfortable underfoot while bringing more pattern and color to the entire porch.
Adequate Lighting
Adequate lighting is also important when decorating the front porch. In the absence of an electrical outlet in this part of the home, the seating area can be illuminated using lighting that’s battery-powered. Outdoor lanterns, meanwhile, are both aesthetically pleasing and functional and can fit just about any home style.
Beautiful Houseplants
Houseplants within the porch are a great way to decorate the area, especially when the indoors don’t have much of them on display. They instantly bring cheer, clean the air and make the porch look fresh and clean. Mint and basil give off scents that are certainly inviting while begonia and chamomile provide a warm welcome. Ferns, meanwhile, can be placed in shaded areas.
