The exterior of your home reflects your individual style just as much as the interior. If you feel the need to give your porch a new look and feel, then check out the ideas below.

Plants

Bridge the gap between your front yard and porch area by introducing some natural elements. Use potted plants with seasonal flowers, beautiful greenery or unique succulents. 

Color

Adding a pop of color can really liven up your porch. If your HOA allows it, paint the ceiling, railing, or front door.  Or if you aren’t ready for a larger DIY project yet, consider purchasing an outdoor bench or furniture and add some brightly colored pillows. 

Lighting

Adding some decorative lighting can make a big difference with little effort.  Consider decorative solar lanterns or bulbs that do not require electricity.  Or replace an outdated porch light with something more contemporary.

House number

One of the easiest updates you can make to your porch area is switching out your house numbers. Some options to consider are modern, metal numbers, colored numbers that match your front door, a custom stained-glass plate, or a small mounted planter box with the numbers fixed to the front.
