Summer is basically outdoor season. We all know that feeling when we step outside and it’s warm, the sun’s out, and we just need a comfortable spot to chill. It is just refreshing to the mind.
That’s what a good summer porch is all about. Because honestly, your front porch kind of sets the tone for your house (like a little sneak peek of what’s inside).
Plus, your neighbours and passersby get to see this daily, so make sure it’s representing your aesthetic and creativity in the best way possible.

Sometimes, all it takes is a few cozy chairs, a pop of color, and some potted flowers (or a bunch, if you’re like me).
Throw in some string lights or a breezy little rug, and boom — instant summer hangout and ultimate entertainment zone.
