DIY Summer Porch Decorating Ideas
1. Paint The Front Door
Give your door a quick coat of bright paint for an instantly rejuvenated look. Make your door stand out by painting it a contrasting color to the frame and side panels. Make sure to get some help e.g. hubby, boyfriend, or male neighbor when painting larger pieces…it pays off every time! With a bit of new paint, your door is sure to be a gorgeous focal point for your porch.
2. Decorate Entrance w/ Florals
Whenever we think of summer, flowers come to mind, and what better way to decorate your entrance than with an abundance of colorful, fragrant blossoms? Planters are a great way to showcase your flowers. From traditional earthen pots to modern galvanized bins, the style you choose can really change the look of your space. Cluster them together on steps or set them up on either side of the door. No matter where you put them, they’re a cheerful staple for any porch decor.
Floral Tip: Hanging flowers add a lot of visual interest to an area. Drawing the eye to new heights, they are a great alternative way to display your beautiful blooms.
3. Hang An Eye-Catching Wreath
Welcome your guests during this warm-weather season with a vibrant and gorgeous wreath. When choosing a wreath, make sure to look for one made of sturdy materials that are suited for outdoor use. Incorporate springtime elements such as flowers, birds and other woodland creatures, and have bright colors set against the darker base of green to evoke the feel of summer. It’s the perfect accent for your newly painted door, too!
4. Convert Old Items Into New
Giving your porch a new look doesn’t have to cost a lot! You can re-purpose wooden ladders, woven baskets, tin cans, and bird cages, among other things. With a lot of love, you can convert old or overlooked items into great additions to your updated porch look. Check out the fabulous ladder trellis below.
5. Paint Porch Furniture To Add Color
Let the pretty color palette of the season speak for itself. Choose pieces from your porch furniture to be subtle accents in your overall look. Give them a fresh coat of paint in pastel hues for a spring feel and a shabby-chic vibe.
Paint Tip: Don’t worry if your paint job isn’t perfect, or if there are any dings or scratches, they add character!
