Decor Ideas to Transform Your Porch
Let’s dive into these easy decor ideas that will help you transform your porch for summer:
- First things first! Clean up the porch and assess what you have. Clean the porch, wipe down furniture and throw away trash. Then see what you have from last year that is still in good shape. Check out your furniture, cushions, pillows and planters. Reuse what you can so that you don’t have to spend a lot of money on your porch transformation. If items are not in good shape, make a list of things you need to replace.
- Next, extend your indoor decor to the outdoors! Here are a few easy ways to make your outdoor space inviting and comfortable:
- Pillows, pillows and more pillows! Pillows make a great impact when you are decorating and they are easy to change out whenever you want an update. They can add color, texture, and pattern. They also add a cozy feel to outdoor furniture and make you want to curl up with a good book! The pillow in the picture below was created using a Chalk Couture pillow cover and a Chalk Couture stencil using Chalkology Ink. Read more about Chalk Couture Ink in the Chalk Couture Paste and Ink Guide.
- Lights are a key element in any space, and you can use a variety of lights outside. Create some ambiance with lanterns, candles and string lights. A little twinkle using different sources of lighting creates an enchanting environment!
- Rugs are a great way to define a space and bring the comforts of the inside outside! They let you add color, texture, pattern and warmth to welcome guests. If you don’t have a large space, a doormat can make the same impact!
- Finally, add a personal touch to your porch with decor items that show your style and personality. You can use decorative signs and tabletop decor like seashells, vases or sculptures. You can also add plants and flowers in coordinating planters. Decor items come in a wide variety of options in a range of colors and styles! Find the pieces that give you joy and spark conversation!
Creating your own pillows and decor items is a great way to make sure your personality shines through on your porch. Check out my chalksite for Chalk Couture pillow covers, stencils and ink. There are endless possibilities for creating decor for your home!
