Everyone knows that a well-designed front porch can be the highlight of even the most opulent homes.
However, if you look around, you will quickly find that many beautifully built front porches are marred by ugly décor and out-of-date fashion trends.
There have been a few subtle, yet significant, changes in front porch design in the 2020s that every front porch owner needs to be aware of.
In this post, we will go over some front porch design trends to keep your eye on in 2022 and beyond.
Design Trends
The world of exterior design is always changing. We have assembled some design ideas to help you keep up with the times without having to redesign your front porch every season.
Porch railings
Porch railings are an ideal decorative piece as they tie together all the elements of a front porch and create a cozy, closed-in feeling. Clean lines and a simple design are the current fashion trends. Painted wood or wrought iron are the best materials to use. Railings also serve as a great place to add décor.
Wooden furniture
Wooden features are a hot item to add to your porch right now. One of the easiest features to add is outdoor wooden furniture. The main benefit of wooden furniture is that you can stain it any color you choose, and it goes with any previously established style.
Black and white color scheme
A traditional black and white color scheme is a fashionable look. Many people are choosing black and white coats of paint to give their floorboards and railings a splash of minimalistic life. These classic colors allow you to add any extra features you choose, as they do not clash with any hue.
Greenery
Adding a splash of plant life to your front porch is a growing trend among homeowners. Both potted and growing plants achieve the goal of transforming your front porch into a garden crackling with life.
Eco-friendly design
While added plant life is a good first step to making your front porch more “green,” adding some eco-friendly décor will take it to the next level. Trends include items made from recycled materials, plant-based décor, and even small solar panels. Being environmentally friendly has never been more stylish!
Outdoor entertainment
The best front porches serve as an oasis from the everyday hustle and bustle of modern life. Why not give yourself the tools to unwind? Outdoor speakers, a projector to watch movies, and LED lights are all outdoor entertainment systems that are growing in popularity.
Your Choices in Front Porch Design
The fashion trends of the 2020s are already established. Still, the choice of what your front porch looks like is entirely up to you.
The current trends are best described as minimalistic, rustic, and traditional. If you want a modern look, stick to those general categories. If you are less concerned about trends, feel free to add anything you want. Your unique style will say a lot about you.
The best advice is to create a cozy outdoor place where you can unwind. Your porch should serve as a bastion where you can relax and enjoy your free time.
