20 Summer Front Porch Ideas

With its ocean-inspired hues of the sea, sand and sky, coastal style is the perfect way to decorate your front porch for summer.
18. Farmhouse style on the front porch
There’s so much to love about this farmhouse front porch! The white color scheme, paired with warm wood and crisp black shutters, is stunning.
19. Black, white, and green
I love the simplicity of a eucalyptus wreath combined with potted green plants in concrete pots – especially when paired with black and white.

Because we had a chilly spring, I wasn’t able to place live plants outside until mid-May, but I still wanted to add a fresh, finished look to our front porch.
My solution was to use two faux boxwood topiary balls placed in tall black planters flanking our front door. They added a much-needed pop of green to our entry — and, I’ll be able to use them again when the weather cools down in the fall. (I put a few rocks in each topiary ball to keep them from blowing away.)

Last, but not least, I just had to share these glorious front porch flower pots in every shade of lavender.

Remember, these ideas aren’t only for the front porch. I love adding a touch of summer decor to our backyard covered patio, too:
A few potted geraniums, mixed flower pots, and ferns from our local garden center add a vibrant touch to our porch and patio (with minimal effort!).
By the way, if you’d rather not go all out with front porch decor and decorations for outdoors, a beautiful front door wreath is all you really need to add an inviting touch of seasonal decor to your home.
