Porch and yard decorating ideas please?!!
Comments (8)I don't think that closing in the porch with a garden is going to make it seem more welcoming. Whatever changes are made should start with expanding the paving approaching the stoop so that people don't have to worry about stepping off the walk or tripping over plants. Then, keep the approach visible. If you wanted to enclose the sitting area, I'd keep it low. Tall wispy flowers would be OK since the effect would be semi-transparent. Your picture does not show right side, but I suspect the house could benefit from seeming somewhat sheltered and separated from the house next door....See MoreFront Porch Decor-Amateur
Comments (15)Something you might try is to move the chairs and the mat over to one side of the area to create a conversation area, as an experiment. If you like the way that looks, you could think about doing that on both sides. Start to look at both sides as two separate ”rooms” and think if you would actually enjoy sitting out there. You have so much stone out there I wouldn’t be afraid to bring a big standing candelabra for candles. You need to be careful not to clutter the space. You could have one side with seating and the other side with trees and other huge plants in containers, like a rooftop garden. Maybe you could even create a water feature with water spilling down a metal piece in front to the wall. If you get enough sunlight on either side, growing night blooming jasmine on trellises could work.behind a seating area and become a fabulous place to sit for drinks in the evening. But I wouldn’t do it as a stage set. Only if you really would like to use the space. Otherwise, I would treat it as a gallery-museum type space. Be very careful where you place an object or plant because you will be framing it and everybody is going to stare at it, so it better be worth looking at and like it belongs there. I think your entry is amazing!...See MorePlease suggest ideas for front porch decor.
Comments (3)Two good answers above but...what will you use the porch for? Will you really sit out there? If not I suggest you add some potted plants and a wreath on the door....See MoreNeed front porch decor help
