Every time I hear “porch”, I imagine a spacious, extended farmhouse front porch like the ones in the movies where people spend the hot summer days, drinking homemade lemonade and watching the sunset, like in the movie The Notebook.
Don’t get upset if you don’t have a movie-sized porch budget. In fact, the front porch design also can be done nicely and stylishly without necessarily breaking the bank!
Whether you paint a few pieces of old furniture and arrange a cute sitting area or buy all new decor, it just takes a little artistry and free time to design the perfect space for relaxation.
It doesn’t matter what is the size of your porch, tiny or big, it can still be appealing.
I have prepared a collection of 50+ rustic farmhouse decor ideas to help you get inspired! Let’s take a look together!
