Why not give your porch a welcoming effect by adding rustic farmhouse décor? The idea is to bring a bit of country chic to the first steps of your residence. Here are a few ways you can do just that.
Wooden Welcoming Signs
Nothing screams rustic quite like wooden items. Adding a wooden sign to your porch space for that rustic appeal that is simple yet will get the job done. We recommend going the DIY route with this one as it will provide that natural rustic appeal you want. Simply grab a piece of wood large enough to make a statement and write a welcoming sign in a bright hue.
Group Lanterns
Taking a group of 2-3 lanterns and place them on your porch together. This will create a romantic atmosphere directly in the front of your home. The key is placing the lanterns around the stairs of your porch, so they illuminate the space while still making a rustic statement.
Hanging Porch Bed Swing
There is something whimsical and enchanting about having a hanging swing bed as part of your porch décor. A collection of well-loved pillows with a throw blanket will make a difference in making your outdoor space feel like part of your living room.
Shabby Chic Cluster
A shabby chic cluster of items you no longer want in the inside of your home can give you the rustic appeal you want on the outside instead. The key is collecting rustic, farmhouse pieces and pairing them together to create a collection of well-loved items in one simple space. You may want to add a bench to complete the look.
Porch Cabinet
Porch cabinets are not only versatile, but they are great when you want to display a few trinkets at the same time while not occupying much space. This is an excellent set up during the holidays as it allows you to place all your holiday décor in one simple space.
Black Rocking Chairs
Although, rustic farmhouse décor is big on wooden items when it comes to using rocking chairs as part of your porch décor you want to go with a neutral color such as black. Black works well in neutral spaces while still making a bold statement. Pair your rockers with an antique accent table for the perfect conversation set up.
Barn Door Chic
You would be surprised how well a barn door can work in any space. The rustic appeal of using barn doors as part of the décor adds a charming twist even to your porch space. Paint your barn doors a cool shade of gray for a twist on a classic neutral. Keep the rest of the porch hues in the same gray family for a well put together look.
Hues of Green
When in doubt of what shades to use in your porch space for a rustic farmhouse appeal the answer is quite simple, use the color green. Shades of green throughout your porch will bring the rustic appeal in a fresh manner. The freshness of the green items will brighten the wooden items you may already have. You may also want to work with plants as they bring the shades of green while being movable and interchangeable.
Cozy Haystacks
Haystacks are easy to get and even easier to place on your porch. Place a few haystacks near the entrance of your porch with a few blankets for that cozy appeal that works for every season. You may even want to incorporate a pillow or two for that cozy sitting area that brightens up the area.
