Pretty Porches

The porch has got to be one of the best things about a home. Whether in the front or back, they allow you to enjoy the beauty of nature while having the comfort of being in your own personal space. There are endless possibilities when designing a porch. However, it should be an extension of your home and reflect the aesthetic expressed throughout the interior. Of course there is room for experimentation but the main elements of your design should be introduced, especially if its a front porch.

Here are a few porches I found to be beautiful. Not only are they all inviting but comfortable and cozy as well.

I love the garden fresh feel of this porch. It’s rustic and lived in look is appealing because it invites you to take a seat and enjoy the surroundings. The neutral tones of the elements used such as brick, wood and stone, brings the whole space together while the few decorative elements add a touch of whimsy.

With romantic touches and cozy pieces, this porch is a perfect place to gather with friends and have lunch or an evening cup of tea. Flowers add a lush look adding that natural country style.

A nice splash of Americana and the natural rustic wood tones allows this space to feel laid back and cozy. The few pops of color keep the overall look stylish without looking overdone.

I love how the greenery is the main character in this porch. Showcasing nature’s darker tones really brings warmth and life to any space. Enjoying its rustic appeal, you can drift away into endless gardens of Mother Earth’s bounty.

Shabby chic and rustic elements turn this porch into a piece of art. Chippy pieces of antique furniture and unexpected elements showcase a collection worth taking a picture of.
