It is very nice to live in a house. Though it requires many efforts and finances to be
maintained in good condition and to make improvements on it, you can never compare its
comfort to anything else.
The indoor space is important, but surely it is very good if you take nice care about
your porch and backyard, because there you will spend many nice and pleasant hours. The porch is the face of your place – what a nice rhyme. It is the first thing a person
will see from your house. So you do not have to neglect its look and the opportunity to make
it unique.
Last but not least, make it nice for yourself and your family.
There are several simple and easy ideas, that will help you have good looking porch.
You may not have a special garden in front of your house, but it is good idea to put pots with
flowers near the entrance. This way you will feel nice aroma each time you leave or come
inside the house, which will create special tranquil impression for coming home and nice
fresh mood when you are going out to work or anywhere else. When you are arranging the
flowers, pick some with calming scent like the lavender, gardenias or jasmine. Roses can also
do great job, if they have strong smell.
The hot summers will sometime take you out on your porch, spending cooling evenings
with a drink in your hand. You will need comfortable furniture first of all, but you should
give a chance to the idea to install a ceiling fan. It will both add special looks and will be very
useful equipment for the hot evenings.
In case you have many pots with flowers on your porch, but they are all different
and you do not like it this, you can take them and paint them all one by one in terra-cotta
color. You can do the painting in any other color, it will be all good as long as they look
the same, but the terra-cotta color will create special connection and association with the ground.
Even if you do not have finances to buy special furniture for the porch, you can still
make it comfortable as you furnish it with stuff from sales. You can find very nice looking
and unique things. If they all look different and this bothers you, you can make pillows and
covers, which will make one big ensemble from all these parts. Use bright and live colors,
stripes and any other patterns to give your façade catchy and positive look.
