Make it as pretty on the outside as it is on the inside.

When the days start getting longer, and the sun shines brighter, we can’t help but want to be outside. There is no better way to embrace the season than to make your home as pretty on the outside as it is on the inside. The sun is addictive, and your neighbors are getting out for walks, going on bike rides and stopping to say hello as they pass by. Now is the time to spruce up your front porch for spring for all those wandering eyes.

We often hear that the kitchen is the heart of a home, but we believe the beat of the home start right at your front door. It’s the only place you get to welcome your guest in and give them a true feeling of your home’s personality.

We encourage you to take some time to decorate your front porch and make it your new favorite place in the house.

To make it easy for you we’ve included a few of our favorite spring decorating tips for you to use as inspiration.

Do the tropics call your name?

Try adding accessories and colors in a tropical theme. Aqua, navy, yellow and tropical greens are wonderful colors to use to create a relaxing oasis.

Spring is all about flowers and flower prints.

When the world around us is coming to life with beautiful blooms its time to incorporate those florals in our porch decorating plans.

Do you have a small porch?

No worries even the smallest of porches can look amazing with the right scale and attention to detail. Adding oversized pictures that draw the eye up and away from the closed in space will help add dimension and beauty to your front porch.

What porch wouldn’t be complete without a porch swing?

Lazy days watching the world go by is one of the most enjoyable ways to add comfort to your front porch.  A good book, a cup of tea and a few comfy pillows are all one needs to feel right at home.

Spring will come to life when you take clues from your home’s color palette.

Stick to two or three colors to create a cohesive look that adds a pop of color against your home’s natural backdrop.

Lastly, when decorating your porch keep things symmetrical on either side of the door.

This way your guests will not feel overwhelmed by what to focus on when you open the front door. Using colorful planters or decorative pieces that add a dramatic pop of color is the perfect way to enjoy the season.

There you have it, some of our favorite ways to brighten your porch for spring.
