Move the two chairs and side table to the wrap. That area will serve as a more intimate conversation area for two.

Then get your conversational seating arrangement and dining set in the front area. Define the areas with area rugs. Add plants, hanging flower pots and string garden lights.

Photos of the space will get you more specific ideas. Search Houzz photos for inspiration using terms like 'covered porch decor'.

I would make it fun and colorful. Currently the front of your home looks very boring. Add some colorful plants that are tall in height so you feel like you are in a beautiful garden when sitting on the porch. I would go with a bed and breakfast vibe when decorating the porch. Create different seating areas and conversation pits that are practical for entertaining. Do a sofa and armchairs conversation pit at the end of the porch. On the front side do some rocking chairs. On the side of the porch I would do a small dinning table.

I was going to suggest what Lawrence did. a porch swing, paint the porch ceiling a "Haint Blue", bring in some textures and colors.

porch swing or just a regular outdoor sofa will do. notice the colors and items used in this one

Jazz it up w/some hanging flower baskets or potted plants, colorful rug, some ceramic garden stools, etc.

here's the Haint Blue ceiling . potted flowers, a few blues/green accents.

You like any of these?

It would help if you posted a better picture of the actual porch

A corner is always a good place for a hammock

I’d like to thank everyone for their suggestions. Here is what I have done to furnish my front porch. On the side “wrap” part of the porch, I’m adding a potting table with a small bench. Next, I’d like to get 2 matching outdoor rugs. Was thinking in a sage green (similar to the wicker table I painted). Another thought would be a light blue - still on the fence with color. To Lawrence R.

• I know the front of my home looks boring, ouch, but we are trying to simplify with the yard work and want to spend my weekends sitting on the porch looking at the lawn vs trimming, pulling weeks and mulching garden beds. Actually, several neighbors have complimented how clean simple the front looks and where you can actually see the brick foundation. Will wait a year or so to see about softening the corners.

You've got a good start but we still can't see around the corner. But I like your idea of a potting area if you want something practical and out of the rain for projects.

I think the four principle chairs should be in a conversational arrangement...rather than two pairs facing different directions. For sure add the rug there like you mentioned.

Look at the inspo photos posted here for you ^ ^ for arrangements and for the finishing decor. .I love your Sage green idea.

Maybe the chairs don’t show but there are 2 on the left and 4 off to the right. Not quite together because I don’t have room for 4 - Isn’t finished so did t take a picture around the corner. Have to work with what I have with the budget within to work. Thanks for your comment.

You're welcome.

Okay.... I got it. And you do have room for your four chairs together on the right. Try this:

• The two chairs in the back move to the right rail. Square them off with the rails...not at an angle. Not against the back rail.
• The two chairs agains the wall square them off...not at an angle. Perfect L shape seating, right?

I think that's it. Have you seen the minimal decor as suggested above in the posts? Some are very spare and very very nice. You have enough inspo now.

Now that I actually look at your photos your furniture and decor is gorgeous and are spectacular in those colors. You made good choices and the chairs will work. I don't think the sofa/loveseat idea will be necessary.

If you want something more, you don't need to spend more than a few bucks at this point.

Get cans of spray paint in your colors. Get a cheap sisal rug and DIY spray paint a pattern on it. YouTube it. Paint a bucket, pots, empty picture frames, etc, anything wicker, it's just decor.

Thank you! Will give it a try and post a pic when done! I appreciate all the recommendations.

Yard sales!!

Wanted to share my progress. Still don’t know what to do with the awkward “side”.

Beautiful. Nailed it! I love those carpets. Nice seating. Everything.

The green potting bench is in the perfect position. Take some plants/white decor from the tall rack for the benchtop and shelves. Move the two pots in that far \right corner next to it or on top.

Place the 3 iron plant stands/pots next to the front door. They are hidden where they are now but very cute. You could use flowering hanging pots, one on each side of the steps...hang from the porch beam over the handrail.

For around the corner...you said you liked the hammock idea...why not?

I could add taller pots and greenery on the sides of the front door- I don’t think my flowers from the 3 tier stand would do well - not much sun for them. People take their shoes off, maybe a lidded basket on the one side for guests. Also, the door mat looks off from the other decor🫣. Such a learning experience!

Nice mat but could be bigger. Let the kids use the little blue chairs wherever they want, and then leave them that way to serve as a nice reminder of their stay.
