8 Beautiful and Easy Ideas for Decorating Your Small Porch!

When you have a small front or back porch, it can be difficult to find appropriately-sized elements to add to it to boost its curb appeal. And, when you leave it barren due to that, your home overall is left appearing less charming than you’d like!

Fortunately, we have thought about people just like you– those who have a small porch but don’t know how to accurately decorate it! While you may not be able to fit a large-sized outdoor sofa or a porch swing, there are certainly other elements that you can add to brighten up your porch and add instant cheer to it!

Without further ado, let’s take a peek at just eight ways to decorate your small porch just right!

1.Add Holiday Doormats

Regardless of the holiday, we cannot recommend adding a holiday doormat to your porch enough. With the addition of different holiday doormats throughout the year, you are consistently refreshing your porch’s aesthetic and matching the current holiday! You can add any image that you’d like, from classic looks like a turkey for Thanksgiving to unique ones like patriotic gnomes on a beach!

Holiday doormats (and other doormats) are especially ideal not only for their beautiful designs but also for their low demand for space. If you have a front or back door, they can easily slip right below it and against its sill! With these doormats, your porch will be easy to a”door”!

2.Place Plants in Planters on Your Porch Steps
Adding plants to any space– either inside or outside your home– is key for enlivening it. Whether you opt for green plants or plants that boast vibrant flowers in abundance, the aesthetic value will be instantly noticeable!

Even in the case of a small porch, you can add plants to “spruce” up the space! You can place your desired plants into size-appropriate planters and arrange them throughout your porch as you see fit (don’t forget to consider your porch steps, too!).

3.Hang Hanging Plants
If you lack space to walk around or simply don’t want much obstructing your path, then you can opt for hanging plants as well. You could either mount them from something you have installed on your porch’s siding or from the soffit. Just be sure to place them in the appropriate location to keep them out of the way so people aren’t banging their heads against them!

4.Try a Wall Trellis
If you’re exceptionally limited to the space you can use on your porch and can’t even imagine squeezing in plants on the floor or hanging plants, then give a wall trellis a try!

A wall trellis is a mountable decoration that both holds and displays plants on a wall. It is innocuously placed on your house’s siding and from there, you can add your desired plants. Or, you could not add plants at all because wall trellises are just that beautiful!

5.Mount and Display a House Flag

Can you think of anything more classic in terms of outdoor decor than a house flag? House flags are easy to add to your home’s exterior and don’t require much space to do so. Plus, they stay out of your way so you can add an eye-catching decoration while not infringing on your porch’s space!

6.Paint Your Door a “Fun” Color
Front and back doors used to solely be simple colors, like white, black, and brown. Fortunately, however, those days are long behind us! Painting your door a “fun” and vibrant color, like yellow, green, blue, red, and pink, provides your entire home with a fun and unique look and will significantly boost its curb appeal!

Not only that, but this is an inexpensive, fun, creative, and simple way to decorate your small porch– and it requires absolutely no space on your porch to do so!

7.Decorate Your Door
Whether or not you choose to repaint your door, there are door decorations for you to consider tacking on as well. Along with traditional wreaths, our beautiful and unique door hangers are the perfect way to coordinate your decor and welcome your guests in style. ! You have the option of going out and purchasing these or you can get creative and make your own! These decorations are inexpensive, enamoring, and require taking up no space on your porch.

8.Wrap String Lights and/or Garland Around Posts and Railings
If you have any posts on your porch or railings, don’t forget that you can add fun, decorative elements to these, too! You can try wrapping string lights and/or garland (real or fake) around your porch’s posts or railings. This will instantly boost your porch’s appearance without requiring space (and these are inexpensive to boot!).

An extra advantage of adding string lights, in particular, is that you can use these year-round to help you see better in the dark, whether you are coming home late in the dead of winter or are enjoying a couple of glasses of wine on your porch with friends!
