Front Porch ideas for uncentered door
Hello All! I have a ranch modular home. I want to add a new roof and front porch. The deck porch is centered with the house. The front door however is not centered. I always wanted a large triangle dormer in the center with a attic vent. I also think the door needs to be a focal point.
Please share any suggestions?????? Pics will be greatly appreciated.

Paint color for front door and front porch floor
Comments (1)I would stain the flooring, paint can peel and be a bother. For me, I'd stain it dark but that's a personal call. Painting a bright green when the rest of the colors are muted may be too much pop. How about a light green that is in the historical colors so it's muted a bit. I love apple green but muted a tiny bit....See Morefront porch and front yard border design idea?
Comments (4)The picture is no help. move the camera up to the city sidewalk, in line with the front door, and take a series of slightly overlapping pictures that pan the ENTIRE scene from far left to far right, including neighboring houses in the first and last pics. Unless you move the cars for the picture, we wouldn't be able to see left of drive. Please take when light is good. Above picture much too dark....See MoreIdeas? Unbalanced Front Porch Fixtures
Comments (11)Lights flanking a door should be equidistant measured from each side of the door. The electrician messed up. The electrician should be responsible to fix it. The fixture on the left side of door needs to be moved closer to the door so that it is the same distance as the right side. This should not cost you anything. And no putting an ugly plate over the mistake is not the solution. Have them fix this correctly. I don't care how much you like your builder. He knows this was done incorrectly and it needs to be fixed correctly....See MoreFront Porch and Landscaping ideas
Comments (7)Remove the light pole, and the door lantern. Replace it with another one like the garage lanterns. The door lantern should be 1/3 of the door's height, so you see why I'm suggesting that. Hang it high and remove the wreath. Maybe your house numbers should go where the wreath is. Move that pot of flowers over to that area beneath the wreath for some color. It will be a pain, but you should dig out the rock mulch and extend your porch into that area, replacing the rocks with cypress mulch which ages nicely and repels insects. Since grass won't grow at the tree, lay a small paver patio there and get a nice glider to sit in....See MoreRelated Professionals

4 years agolast modified: 4 years agoI'm wondering if this idea might work for you. Do an open gable that centers with the door and bump it out for more focus on the door and some broad stairs up to the porch, painting the door a pretty color. I wouldn't mess with a dormer. To be in scale with the house, it will look stuck on and dinky. You might want to rethink the shutters. Only the two windows left of the door are appropriate for them.

Ragged but an idea. If you shoot a pic from straight in front with the sun on this side of the house, we'll have a better idea of the proportions. Here I have guessed about columns. Frame the door with one in front of the first shutter on the right and one just right of the first shutter on the left Then move to the next shutter on the right, and the short shutter on the left. Last ones go on the corner of the porch. A better pic will result in better symmetry. Of course, shutters should be off.
