As the days grow longer and the sun climbs higher, it’s finally time to make the most of your porch. Bringing the warmth and colorful summer to your front porch is the perfect way to welcome the new season. Imagine coming home to a porch blossoming with the joy of summer!
Creating a warm and welcoming front porch is not at all hard, all it takes is the right summer front porch decor. By including a seasonal wreath with flowers, a welcoming doormat, and inviting throw pillows, you’re almost halfway there! Create a beautiful space you want to spend late-night evenings in while unwinding under the stars.
When decorating your front porch, remember to choose one color scheme throughout the entire space. This will create a cohesive look and visual flow, rather than the porch appearing messy and cluttered. Since it’s a porch designed for summer, opt for warm and vibrant summer colors, such as cool blue, sunny yellow, or soft pastels, and let your creativity run wild when designing your summer-inspired haven!

1. Flower Wreath
When I think of summer, I think of flowers, therefore a flower wreath is perfect to include on your front porch. Partly because it’s very summery – but also because it’s welcoming.
2. Welcome Sign
What better way to make your guests feel welcomed than with an actual welcome sign? But of course, it’s also for you!
3. Rattan Lanterns
In order to create the perfect ambiance for a relaxing evening – you need the right light! Rattan lanterns are a beautiful addition to your front porch. They serve as both a decorative piece and a lovely source of light.
A little tip is to both keep them standing on the porch and hanging them. This will create a visual interest on the porch!
4. Decorative Pots
As I mentioned earlier, summer is all about flowers, but in order to place flowers on your front porch – you need decorative flower pots. You can place them on each side of the door for a symmetrical look, or group them together with pots in different sizes and heights.
5. Hanging Chair
A hanging chair will add to the inviting feeling of your front porch with its cozy and comfortable look. An addition every front porch needs!
6. Wooden Bench
A wooden bench is perfect for creating a small seating area and filling up an empty space. You can either keep the bench just as it is or decorate it. One option is to adorn the bench with throw pillows and a throw blanket. Another beautiful option is to place a lantern or some flowers on it. Alternatively, you can combine the two options.
7. Throw Pillows
Throw pillows are perfect to include on your front porch. They will both help in creating a cozy and inviting space and are also the perfect way to include some color.
8. Hanging Planters For Railing
If you have a railing on your porch, consider adding hanging planters. You can both keep flowers in them or you can plant some greens. Simple, yet beautiful!
9. Hanging Planters For Roof
Another great way to add depth to your front porch is by incorporating hanging planters on the roof. This not only brings height to the space but also introduces more flowers, enhancing its beauty and contributing to the summer feel.
10. Doormat
A beautiful doormat is a must if you want to create a welcoming and warm front porch space. You can either choose a simple striped doormat or opt for a welcoming doormat, or alternatively, combine both.
11. Modern Lanterns
You cannot get enough lanterns on your porch. Include modern lanterns for a clean and minimalist look.
12. Rocking Chair
Imagine sitting in a rocking chair on your front porch, reading a book or gazing at the stars. It’s both comfortable and a beautiful addition to the space, enhancing the comfort and harmony of your porch.
13. Wooden Plant Stand
As I mentioned before, a great way to create depth and add interest to the porch is by adding plants in different sizes and heights. A wooden plant stand is a great choice for that since it will elevate the smaller plants.
14. Door Hanger Basket Wreath
This is a very beautiful alternative to the flower door wreath. This door hanger basket is instead a big bouquet hanging on the door. Can it get any more summery than this?
15. Lemon Tree
A lemon tree is the perfect addition to your front porch as it is a beautiful tall plant with a touch of color. Place it in a lovely concrete pot, and it will look stunning on your front porch.
16. Fake Plants
If you’re like me and can’t seem to keep real plants alive, fake plants are the solution. There are actually a lot of plants that look perfectly real, with the exception of not having to take care of them.
