3 Modern Ways to Decorate Your Porch This Spring
Nothing says warm weather bliss quite like sipping on a beverage while lounging on your porch, patio or tiny outdoor space — except maybe, decking out said outdoor space with the latest and greatest in outdoor furniture, lighting and planters. If you’re stressing about the typically hefty outdoor furniture price tag that comes along with a porch revamp, don’t! With a few staple pieces and smart decorating strategies, you can transform that dreary porch into a stylish oasis. This week’s edition of Decor Resolutions will show you how to revive your porch from a long winter with on-trend seating options, colorful planters and bold patterned spring throw pillows for the ultimate outdoor living space. Scroll on to see how we’d style the porch for the boho-chic space, minimalist abode and preppy home.
Boho-chic outdoor decor requires a good collection of hanging plants, hanging string lights, a hanging pod chair… you get the picture. Make your porch your new happy place with a cute pouf, a geometric rug and lots of brass accents. Then top it all off with a good dose of mood lighting in the form of candles and cafe lights.

HOW TO DECORATE A MINIMALIST PORCH
Bring on the minimalist vibes with clean geometric lines and a spring-inspired accent color like mint green. Set up a comfy reading/iced tea sipping space with a love seat, a couple of throw pillows and a set of porch-worthy glasses. Keep extra goodies on hand in a storage bin, and set the right mood by swapping out your lights with gold-dipped light bulbs and a few candles. Graphic elements like the bold rug and geometric pillows add punch without detracting from the minimalist look.

Keep a mini table on hand for evening drinks, and make sure you light up the night in style with a couple of LED pineapple lights.
