Staff Writer · May 5, 2011

Decorating your porch for spring to make it look more inviting need not cost a fortune. A porch can reflect the personality and taste of the owner of the house and should appear friendly so visitors feel welcome. Some tips that can make your porch look well cared for and attractive are listed below.

1. Clean Your Porch

Since your porch is open, it can gather a lot of dust and flying debris such as leaves and papers. Cleaning you porch with a broom and mop can work wonders. It’s also advisable to remove any spider webs and unwanted weeds. Replacing any dim light bulbs can help make your porch look welcoming.

2. Buy Appropriate Furniture for Your Porch

A bistro set can provide seating space for your guests and yourself. Flower pots can hold some attractive and colorful plants. A porch swing is another great idea. Ensure the furniture is free of dust and paint it again if needed. Cushion covers can be replaced if frayed and should be washed regularly. Cane furniture is a good option but plastic furniture is cheap and easy to keep clean.

3. Other Amenities for Your Porch

A water fountain or water fall can be placed in a corner to provide a melodious and cooling touch. A door mat in an attractive color should be placed at the door of the porch and you can also place a rug in the middle of the porch if your budget allows it.

These simple ideas can help make your porch reflect your personality and help you enjoy the hours you spend there.
