Top Front Porch Design Trends and Ideas to do This Fall

Your home’s front porch is one of the first things people notice about your home, which is design matters! Not only does your front porch offer great curb appeal, but it is also the focal point of your home’s front exterior.

Below are some design ideas from www.mccraylumber.com you should consider for your fall DIY project:

Bold Doors

Whether painted a bright blue, or made from refurnished wood, the trend of making statements with your door is a great way to draw attention to your home.

Additional Living Areas

A major trend in the front porch design industry is that of turning your front porch into an additional living area. Designers are doing away with simple entryways, and instead choosing to add benches, swings, and other functional elements. This adds interest to your porch, while also giving you the freedom to expand your home outwards.

 Intricate Railing

Both a safety and style feature, front porches all across the country are now showcasing intricate railing designs. This trend allows for your porch’s safety elements to become a major factor in bringing together your home’s overall style. For example, white engraved spindles help to complete the classic country feel of older homes, while metallic twisted rods help to exaggerate the modern edginess of contemporary projects.

Your front porch is an important part of your home’s value and appeal, so make sure you get the most out of your design by taking advantage of the latest trends. With just a little adjustment and a fresh coat of paint, your front porch can look brand new in no time.
