With the upcoming arrival of summertime, décor enthusiasts everywhere are officially refreshing their backyards in an attempt to prepare for the balmy temperatures. However, adorning the front porch is just as important as transforming your back garden into the outdoor space of your dreams. If you’re looking forward to warm late spring evenings with fresh lemonade and good company, here are a few simple ways to update your porch now.

Decorate with brilliant red and white tones: If you’re aiming for a striking touch as the weather turns warm, try revamping your neutral front porch with wooden rocking chairs painted snowy white. For a contrasting effect, accessorize the chairs with bold floral print and solid red accent pillows. Meanwhile, a printed red and white rug and a matching ottoman help to wrap up your decorating statement in true style.

Turn to gleaming navy blue paint and fresh blossoms: For those who prefer understated simplicity as they take in the great outdoors, revitalize your front door with a coat of glossy navy blue pant. To emphasize the sleek and sophisticated colour, use a metal container filled with delicate yellow and blue florals.

Try bringing vintage inspired charm to your porch with a pale pink wooden chair and coordinating mini table, for a setting which will surely inspire the ultimate tea party. For a finishing touch, decorate with a white ceramic vase filled with vibrant tulips.
