The weather is turning warmer (or much warmer here in the South) and it’s time to focus our attention to those adorable front porches! These front porch decorating ideas will leave you inspired to tackle your own space no matter how large or small it is. Doesn’t a glass of sweet tea and a good book just call your name with a gorgeous, well-decorated front porch? And a swinging bed? Yes, ma’am! I’ll take one!!
We don’t have a front porch, but we have a nice little covered back porch that is just waiting to be spruced up for summer. I plan on getting some work done out there this weekend, so I’ve been gathering inspiration. It’s so fun to gather ideas about lighting, furniture, rugs, plants, accessories and colors to inspire our own makevoers. I’ve gathered some fun sources for cute porch decor at the end of this post, so check those out!

Perfect for napping on a warm southern day. That “haint blue” ceiling is perfect!

The robin’s egg blue color of this porch swing stole my heart right away and has me thinking of all the ways I could incorporate a pretty blue porch swing outside. I love the soothing sway of rocking back and forth. The breeze while swinging on a hot southern summer day doesn’t hurt either!

May 4, 2018 at 1:24 pmLovely porches. Mine looks like the Southern Living one with the haint blue ceiling in almost exactly the same color as shown in your photo and my house is white with black trim. I painted it all last year. HUGE project for an old lady. I need/want to do a nice cover for my little wicker couch I moved from my dining room to the porch. No swing Love them but no way to hang one here. I wish my front were wider than the 8 foot it is. 10 foot would have been so much better. Oh well I do enjoy being out there.
This was before I moved the couch out there and had two recliners. I moved them to the end not in the photo with a table and lamp between them. Actually other things have been moved. That large table is gone too. I need to get updated photo.
