Need Front Porch help
Comments (19)The planter at the door is too big for that location move it to the far corner next to the right chair. Put the sunflower piece where the planter was. Lose the wreath it's too much. The thing on the table is too big. Replace it with a small pot of colorful flowers like Gerber daisy. I agree with getting the color in the cushions if you can't find the chairs in color. I have seen lots of those Adirondack types of chairs in multiple colors at Lowe's and home Depot and several other places. Big lots has tons of cushions in bright colors and they had those chairs there too. I got my wicker set at big lots it's still like brand new even after the flood. Mine is dark brown. I like that really teal color for the door. Do you have a picture that shows the whole front of the house so we have a better idea of colors. I think a big colorful rug in the colors you choose would help, the one there is a bit small. That Brookwood dark red looks almost dark brown and I think it would be way too dark. Like a black hole....See MoreFront porch help!
Comments (5)I see navy or cobalt blue. Check out BM Hale Navy for starters, seems to go with everything. Sidelights are usually recommended to stay trim color so that the door is the focus. Paint the steps a simple color since they are not a focal point. Paint SAMPLES before committing! I know you didn’t ask this but if redoing your walk is on your radar, it would be nice to incorporate brick somewhere? https://www.google.com/search?q=hale+navy+with+brick&client=safari&hl=en-us&prmd=insv&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjJp9nzlrXdAhWOUt8KHdF7AbQQ_AUIESgB&biw=375&bih=553...See MoreFront porch help please :)
Comments (20)Landscape Design is not a garden forum?? Coulda fooled me!! If the porch floor is 30" or more above grade, railings are a code requirement - forget about aesthetics or feeling too enclosed. But it looks from the photos like you might just slide in under that. Regardless, it is still a bit of a safety hazard, so whatever you plant to surround the porch should come up at least to that level or even slightly higher. A psychological barrier if not a physical one :-)...See MoreFront Porch Help!
