Maximizing Your Porch: Design Tips for Big Impact This Fall

Updated: 11 minutes ago

A small porch doesn't mean small potential! Use these strategies to maximize space and create a cozy, functional area this fall & beyond:


  1. Strategic Layout Design

    Choose compact, multi-purpose, or even built in furniture to save space while maintaining functionality.


  2. Vertical Decor

    Take advantage of vertical space with hanging planters, wall-mounted shelves, or tiered displays for things like decor, lighting, or even a functional garden!


  3. Weatherproofing

    Install windbreaks, outdoor curtains, built in screens, or even roll-down shades to protect against breezy autumn weather and extend your porch's usability.


  4. Decorative Accents

    Add outdoor rugs, throw blankets, and cushions to create a comofrotable and inviting space. It might feel counter-intuitive to add more things but creating a cohesion and functional space will make the space feel bigger.


  5. Lighting Enhancement

    Incorporate string lights, fireplaces, lanterns, or solar-powered fixtures to create a welcoming glow. Built in recessed or pendant lighting go the extra mile!
