Give a great first impression and fantastic curb appeal by decorating your front porch for spring. Everyone is looking for more ways to spend time outside, and a once-overlooked area, front entrances are becoming the new place to hang out. And this space is the gateway to your home, making it a great area for you to express your style and personality from the very start.

Here are our springtime tips for front porch style- no matter what form your “front porch” takes.

This front entrance, styled by Instagram influencer Brittany Echols, @sunshine_and_shiplap uses accessories, textures and patterns to bring springtime energy into the space. Although the color palette is muted and soft, she added décor like a leather ottoman, woven rug, and black seating to bring a contemporary edge that complements the natural vibe of the surrounding yard. Our Chilton Hanging Lantern has a crisp textured back design and an airy feeling that enhances the fresh feeling of the area.

Sit down and visit for a while! Change up a classic porch with a crisp black-and-white color scheme, warm wood floor and columns, and oversized hanging lanterns, giving a contemporary vibe to a traditional setting. Our Squire Hanging Lantern's black and stainless-steel mixed metal frame complements this modern porch design.

Symmetry is Your Friend

Even numbers are key to making your entrance feel larger. First, use a pair of wall lanterns, or even two pairs, to create a stately look. Then, flank the doorway with a couple of pots or planters and a set of benches for a welcoming appeal. Our Walcott Wall Lanterns feature a distinctive vertical frame finished in crisp black with clear glass panels, bringing a contemporary flair to this modern façade.

Nothing Says Springtime like Flowers

A topiary plant and a wall lantern from our Gibbes Street collection fills this space with an understated elegance and rustic charm.

Reconnect with Nature

Go eco-friendly by adding organic touches to give your entrance a natural vibe. Materials from the earth like stone and wood, nature-inspired patterns, natural textiles, and loads of greenery all combine to create refreshing and connective spaces. Wood planks in a dark finish accent the stone walls of this contemporary home. A pair of our Ramsey lanterns feature an oversized, elongated frame that mimics the vertical lines of the door.
