IDEAS FOR CREATING INVITING PORCHES AND PATIOS

START WITH A SOLID FOUNDATION

When it comes to durability, composite decking, like Trex®, offers an optimal

choice for enhancing the luxury and longevity of a porch. Unlike traditional

wood, composite decking resists rotting, splintering, and fading, ensuring that

your outdoor space remains beautiful and functional for years to come. It also

never needs to be sanded, stained or sealed, so homeowners can spend less time

on maintenance and more time enjoying their outdoor space.

RUSTIC RETREAT

Create a space that blends seamlessly with nature by combining vintage-inspired

furniture with brown accents to establish a warm, inviting atmosphere. Fill the

space with potted plants and hanging planters to bring in a touch of greenery,

adding life and vibrancy to the design.

SOUTHERN CHARM

Embrace the laid-back charm of the South by designing a screened-in porch that exudes comfort and hospitality. Add pops of color with brightly colored cushions and throws combined with lush potted plants and hanging ferns. Incorporate a ceiling fan to enhance airflow and ensure that your sunny Southern-style porch remains a cool retreat.

MATCH GAME

A welcoming front porch starts with symmetry. Matching wreaths and planters create a polished, inviting look. Add a rug to soften the space and define the entryway for a charming curb appeal boost.

TIME TO TALK

To transform a front porch into an area that invites relaxation and conversation, start with comfortable rocking chairs or a swing to encourage luxurious leisure. Add soft throw blankets for warmth on cooler evenings, making the space feel inviting and cozy. Incorporate a small side table to hold drinks or snacks, creating a functional area for gatherings with family and friends.

BEACH ESCAPE

Bring coastal vibes to your home with a nautical-themed porch. Decorate with light, breezy fabrics, and accessories, such as seashells, anchors, and navy stripes. This design is perfect for creating a relaxing seaside ambiance, ideal for anyone who loves the beach.

LIGHT THE NIGHT

Illuminate your front porch with outdoor lighting. The right lighting can take any outdoor space from invisible to inviting and can significantly extend the time you can spend enjoying your outdoor living space. In addition to adding ambiance, installing energy-efficient LED lighting into porch floorboards, railings, and stairs also enhances safety and security.
