If you enjoy entertaining guests or simply spending time outdoors, your back porch deserves just as much attention. Yet many don\u2019t know what to do with this space, leaving the porch, screened in or not, bare and neglected. Even worse, this leaves us without the option to enjoy it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the origins of the porch as an architectural feature are a topic of&nbsp;debate among scholars&nbsp;(some believe they were invented during the Greek and Roman empires while others believe they got their beginnings in Equatorial Africa), the benefits are clear. They help us commune with nature, connect with our communities, and take in the world around us rather than the one within our four walls. They can also provide relief on nights when the outdoors is cooler than the indoors (which anyone who\u2019s slept on a screened-in porch can tell you).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if you have a porch but aren\u2019t quite sure how to put it to its best use \u2013 you\u2019re in the right spot. We have easy porch upgrades you can do today to get the most you can out of your exterior spaces, including guidance on how to style your space and pick the right d\u00e9cor for your porch. And even if your \u201cporch\u201d is more of a landing or back patio than a traditional porch, these tips apply just the same. It\u2019s all about making what you\u2019ve got work better for you and your lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clean Your Space<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A bright, welcoming, and clean porch starts with a plan.

Look at what furniture and d\u00e9cor you already have and the bones of your existing porch to get started.

The good news is that even some interior furniture can last a long time on a porch, so you do have some flexibility. Try to be creative and scour Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, and secondhand shops for castaways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Porch furniture that can refresh your space should be:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Chairs, for dining or lounging<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tables, either dining or end tables<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Swinging chairs (if you can safely hang them)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Functional storage like ottomans or chests<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When picking porch furniture, make sure it\u2019s:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Easy to clean<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Matches your aesthetic \/ theme<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Comfortable enough that you\u2019ll use it repeatedly<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Potted Plants and Flowers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s amazing what a beautifully potted plant can do to an environment. Make sure that the ones you pick are well-suited for the shade or sun that your porch gets and put them in pots that drain well and match the other elements on the porch. A cute look is old crockery tubs or other antique ceramics on the steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Plant ideas for your porch:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Planter boxes for your railing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hanging plants that drape<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Potted plants to put on the ground or on stands<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Climbing plants on a trellis for privacy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rugs and Mats<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many exterior rugs on the market now that are made from durable materials designed for outdoor use and are great at hiding a multitude of problems with your floors.

Use lights to set the vibe you want; you\u2019ll be surprised how different it can be based on what you choose. This includes lighting from an actual flame (if it\u2019s safe and legal in your area) like outdoor fireplaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Porch lighting options to brighten your space:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>String up some Edison bulbs or holiday lights for a classic look<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Plug in a more traditional statement lamp to bring the living room&nbsp;<em>out<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hanging or floor lanterns add vertical interest &nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Candles flickering in hurricane glasses are warm and welcoming<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shade and Cover<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Equally important to light is shade. A porch isn\u2019t fit for relaxing without it, so if it doesn\u2019t come your way naturally, you should hang a strategically placed curtain, sun sail or awning to create your own shade. Taking any of those steps will dramatically increase porch usage and enjoyment, but if you really want to get fancy \u2013 you could even add some misters to cool down in the summer months.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Easy ways to shade your porch:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Umbrellas if your porch is uncovered<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Trellises with plants or other coverings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Curtains that double as privacy in busy neighborhoods<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Retractable (or permanent) awning covers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Door D\u00e9cor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A dinged door can take away a lot of curb appeal, while a nice fresh layer of paint or two can really amp up the value. Bonus points if you use a fresh new color like hot pink or bright yellow. Glossy hardware in whatever the \u201cmetal of the moment\u201d is can also be a relatively cheap and quick way to make an old door do new tricks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ways to spruce up your front door:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Add a seasonal wreath<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Paint it a bold accent color<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Include a unique door knocker for function and style<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>While we think the above tips are applicable to any porch, we know that depending on the size and location of your porch, it can be tough to know where to start.
