5 Ideas to Create Modern Farmhouse Front Porch

I love the idea of a modern farmhouse. It’s a style that makes me feel at home, with its exposed beams, solid wood furniture, and warm colors.

But since I live in the suburbs and not an actual farmhouse (yet!), my front porch could be better suited to the style. So I’ve been looking for some modern farmhouse front porch ideas that would take my living space from boring to beautiful.

Here are some ideas for transforming your own boring front porch into something special:

Mix and Match Outdoor Furniture

Even if you’re not lucky enough to have a porch, a front stoop can be a beautiful place to sit and relax. If you want to create an inviting spot outside your home, consider mixing and matching different styles and colors of outdoor furniture.

This will give your space some interest while creating an appropriate aesthetic for the overall style of your home. Mixing furniture with different materials is another way to add visual interest for those who are looking for something besides solid wood or metal pieces.

For example, try pairing a classic wooden rocking chair with wicker lounge chairs or adding metal patio tables next to wooden ones on your front stoop or landing area. You could also mix and match pieces by size; maybe choose short chairs for small children’s use but keep larger patio loungers nearby so adults can lounge comfortably after dinner too!

Add a Rocking Chair or Swing to Your Porch

Adding a rocking chair or swing to your porch is a great way to make it inviting. You can either DIY your own rocking chair and attach it to the porch, or you can buy one at a furniture store. If you don’t have the time or skills, you can always find them at thrift stores, yard sales, and online.

Plant a Few Greenery Containers

If you have a porch, it’s a great place to put some greenery. Here are some tips for picking out the right plants and containers:

• Plant drought-tolerant plants that won’t need much watering. Drought tolerance is important because you’ll be using your porch less often than other areas of your yard, and if the soil stays dry too long it can lead to problems with pests or diseases.
• Pick hardy plants for cold climates. If temperatures drop below freezing in winter where you live, choose plants that withstand frost as well as heat and humidity in summertime. You could also consider adding potted trees or shrubs if they’re appropriate for your space (see image above!). Just make sure they’re well watered during hot spells or else they could die due to dehydration—and then what will you do?

Hang a Basket on the Front Door

Baskets are very versatile and can be used for a variety of purposes. They can be hung from the front door or placed on top of it to hold flowers, plants, or other items. This basket is perfect for storing keys, mail and other essentials that need to stay dry in the rain.

Choose Barn Lighting for Front Porch Lighting

Some of the most popular options for front porch lighting are barn style lights. These fixtures can be either metal or wood, and are typically a simple design that has been around for years. While they’re often used outdoors, it’s also possible to use them indoors as well.

These ideas will totally transform your front porch into something special.

These ideas are all so great, and you can use them in any combination you want. Mix and match! Add your own ideas! Make it your own personal modern farmhouse porch.

You can also change them as often as you like. If one isn’t working for you, try another idea that works better instead. If a couple of these ideas work together really well, add more of those elements to the rest of your porch—but don’t forget about using your own ideas too!

As long as they match the style of your house and fit with other areas of decor inside the house or outside on other parts of the property, then go ahead and add all these fun details to create an awesome front porch space.

Conclusion

With these modern farmhouse front porch ideas, you can create the perfect outdoor space for entertaining or relaxing. Your front porch is a great place to relax, so make sure it looks good!
