If you know me, then you know porch sittin is one of my favorite hobbies during the spring and summer months. So I thought it would be fun to share with you all my spring front porch tour and exactly how I styled it this year.
I always strive to have my front porch feel like an oasis. I want it to feel like I am sitting out on vacation, even though I am really just at home.

Rocking Chairs
I have said it before and I will say it again, a front porch isn’t a front porch to me without a proper set of rocking chairs! I love to sit out and rock back and forth with a sweet tea or a coffee in my hand.
There is something so relaxing about it.
All the troubles in the world fade away when you are outside rocking. If you are looking for some great outdoor furniture options too, then check out my post about My Top Picks For Styling An Outdoor Space.
We actually scored our rocking chairs on Facebook marketplace for a great price. And then I ended up painting them and distressing them to give them the exact appearance that I wanted.
I wanted them to look worn and weathered because I love to add in vintage goodies on the porch too, just like in the rest of the house.
Plants
I also think you can’t have a great front porch without a few little plants thrown in here and there.
I am by no means a plant expert, but I do enjoy taking care of a few easy plants and watching them thrive.
Plus, I always love choosing cute pots to put them in that will match my spring front porch too.
My favorite plant for the porch during the spring and summer time are ferns. I have them hanging up and I have a couple scattered around the porch too.
They are very hardy and I love all the greenery they provide the space too. I also love hens and chicks too.
They grow like crazy and you can easily divide them into multiple pots. They also don’t require a lot of water or care so they are the perfect plants to start out with.
Vintage Goodies
Just like inside, I have a number of vintage goodies scattered across my porch too. I have an old chippy ladder (that we got for free!) and I use it in the corner as a plant stand.
I also have an old dairy can that I place a fern on and use it as a little centerpiece in between my rocking chairs.
Displaying vintage gardening tools is always fun too. I like to have my vintage gardening shears placed next to my vintage toolbox filled with succulents too.
They both have a chippy green color to them, so I feel like they are perfect to display together.
Fun Accessories
I also love to add in a few fun accessories here and there on my spring front porch too. Such as a colorful doormat and a neutral scatter rug underneath the door mat.
Changing up the doormat every season is a cheap and easy way also to make your porch appear more seasonal and ready for whatever holiday comes next.
I also got this adorable planter pig that I planted a few little greenery plants in.
I think it is so cute and the perfect touch to my vintage farmhouse vibe I have going on here.
We found that beautiful American flag that was handmade by some old barn wood at a flea market a few years ago and decided it would look perfect hanging on the porch.
I also found the black post office box from the same flea market and thought it looked super cute next to the door as well.
Well, I hope you enjoyed my little spring front porch tour today! And I hope it gave you some ideas on how to decorate your front porch for spring as well.
Do you usually go all out to decorate your porches too?? Let me know below and I hope you are able to squeeze in a little porch sittin time today friends!
I like the light colour palate you chose. These items surely make a quaint porch.
Thank you so much! I am loving the color palette too!
Your front porch is beautiful! I love the look, it is very inviting.
Looks so confy and homely, i love the colours too
Thanks so much! I think the colors make it appear very relaxing and peaceful!
Thank you! I always strive to have an inviting front porch!
Absolutely beautiful setup! I’m loving all of it and those rocking chairs are stunning.
Thanks so much Shana. The rocking chairs are my favorite too!
I definitely could sit and relax on your porch!!! You have made such a beautiful space to spend outside during the glorious Summer:)
Awe thanks so much Maria. I love spending as much time as I can out here during the Summer!
I love how you styled your front porch a lovely tranquil escape! I love how you have distressed the rocking chairs I could nap in one right now! Thank you for the tour!

Thank you so much Sarah! I am all about distressed and vintage pieces so the rocking chairs are definitely a favorite of mine as well!
Nothing like a great porch, and you’ve got one! It’s like comfort food. A comfortable porch makes you want to sit and relax for hours. Coffee in the morning; a beer in the evening…thanks for sharing
Yes it really is like comfort food! Thanks so much for checking it out!
Oooh, your porch is so pretty! My husband and I will be moving to our new house next week, and besides a set of tables and chairs, we have no idea what to do with out back porch (we’ve never had a yard, porch, or deck before!). This post has some great inspiration! I’d really like to make it into our own little comforting oasis. Thanks!
Awe thank you so much! Congratulations on your new house too! And I plan on sharing all about our screened in porch here soon too so be sure to check back for that! Porch spaces are my favorite to style!!
Such a dreamy front porch! I love all the vintage elements in the accessories paired with the plants
Thank you so much Kalin! You can’t go wrong with vintage goodies and plants!
Think I’ve said it before, but the front porch and rocking chairs, is something I view as so American. I’m so jealous of your porch it looks incredible.
Yes! It definitely is a true American porch, that’s what I strive to make it look like! I am glad you think so!
Oh my god your porch is an absolute dream! We don’t really have those lovely front porches in the UK like you do in the US. If I did, I’d definitely go for something like this too!
Thank you so much! Yes, I am southern so porches are definitely a big thing here!
These are beautiful designs!
Thank you. I am glad you think so!
Love the way you’ve used the space – I’d love to sit there rocking with a cup of tea!
Thank you! I definitely love sitting out here with my morning cup of coffee!
I love these photos! Your porch is gorgeous! 🙂
Thank you! I always love styling porches!
Good rocking chairs last years and a cushion adds the smallest amount of comfort. I love sitting outside and rocking, so an outdoor rocking chair has been on my ‘get’ list for some time! Maybe this spring will be the spring. 🙂
Yes! Rocking Chairs are the best. So relaxing and peaceful to rock in them!
I’m a little envious! Porches like this aren’t really a thing in England but yours is beautiful (as always) I love the area with all of the plants. It looks so homely and inviting x
Sophie
Thank you so much! Porches are definitely a big thing in the South where I am from!
Oooh! I love the look of the front porch! Looks super welcoming! I love the color scheme too. It is great that you’re able to put plants together and use some vertical spacing. I love the greenery! Thanks for sharing these picks and pairing!
Nancy ♥ exquisitely.me
Thanks so much my friend! Yes I tried to choose colors that were calming and peaceful because I love to come out here and relax!
Your front porch is so beautiful! I love small plants, my grandma keeps them in her balcony. Thank you for sharing the pictures!
Thank you so much! Yes, small plants are perfect for porches or balconies!
I really like that you added plants to your porch, gives it the unique and beautiful look. I love your pictures too.
Thank you! I love having fresh plants on the porch too!
Wow, I love your porch! It’s beautiful, I can see myself sitting there enjoying a good book. Love the rocking chairs and fresh plants. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! Yes, I love sitting out here and enjoying a good book as well!
I really love how vintage and inviting you’ve made your front porch! Just lovely.

Thank you so much! I am all about vintage. I try to add it everywhere that I can!
Your decor is always so gorgeous! I’m inspired to try and make my house look even a fraction as cute!
Awe thank you so much! You are too sweet! I really appreciate that!
Great post love to see it
Thanks
I love absolutely everything you show us.
Thank you Tina!
Wow it looks so good, really authentic! 🙂
Thank you Lauren! I am glad you think so!
Your porch is so pretty, I’m from the UK and the majority of our houses don’t have this sort of thing unfortunately.
That’s what I’ve been hearing! I can’t believe that. I’m Southern so porches are a huge thing here!
What a beautiful porch you have! I think the plants are adorable and really bring it all together. Sadly, I don’t have a porch to decorate and make pretty but I do have some front garden hanging baskets that I am going to glam up! Thanks for sharing this beautiful tour
Em x
Oh yes! You can always glam up your front garden hanging baskets for sure too!
Beautiful! That pig planter though 😍. I am going to have to grab one of those!
Thank you so much! You should definitely get one! It is the cutest!
Your front porch looks so welcoming! I could definitely see kicking back in those rocking chairs with a cup of coffee in hand first thing in the morning to relaxing and enjoy the fresh air. I know that’s my favourite time to get outside here – it starts my morning on such a positive note.
Yes! I love spending my mornings out here with a nice cup of coffee. It is the best way to start the day!
Lovely set-up! I love these shades of colors!
Thank you! I do too. I find the colors to be calming and peaceful!
Your porch is so cute! And the little plant area with the ladder is adorable! Love 💕
Thank you so much! I love that ladder and we got it for free too! So even better!
Beautifully decorated! I aspire to have my porch looking this decorative, functional and aesthetic! It definitely has me in the mood for some redecorating!
Xx Maeve
Thank you so much Maeve! I love decorating and styling porches when it’s spring and summer for sure!
I’m actually in love with the decor and theme of this! I wish I had a porch (and a lake side cabin…. dreams!) to sit out on but they’re not very common in the UK.. well not in my area anyway. You did a really good job with this!
Thanks for sharing.
James.
Thank you so much James! I have heard that porches aren’t very common in the UK actually. I am Southern and we are all about our porches down here!
I love the whole look! Muted color palettes, a more rustic look. It looks amazing! Another great post, as always 🙂
Awe thank you Jennifer. I appreciate that. I definitely love the whole muted color scheme going on here too!
I just fell in love with your cozy and beautiful front porch. I was looking for some ideas like this and your post came just right in time.. and not to mention, I am a rocking chair lover too 🙂
Oh yay! I am glad I could give you some inspiration! Rocking chairs are definitely the best!
You’ve created such a pretty and cosy front porch area. I love what you have done with the rocking chairs and I love the wooden American flag too.
Thank you so much! I love the wooden flag too! It is the perfect touch I think!
Love your porch, it has a comfy vibe. Well decorated with your hand picks. That,s a cute piggy pot. I can sit all day with a book and some refreshments. 😙
Thank you! I love the pig planter too. And I have definitely been spending all weekend out here for sure!
Love it so much! Loving all the bright colours. You did a great job
Awe thank you so much Natasha. I appreciate that!
This is amazing. The pig planter is a favourite of mine from here!
Al x
Thank you! I am loving the pig planter too!
I’m obsessed. Your porch and the colour palette are the stuff dreams are made of. I’d love a home like yourself, but they don’t come easy in the UK.

Thank you so much. That’s what I’ve been hearing. That’s sad that porches aren’t very common in the UK. I am Southern and porches are a huge thing here!
Your porch definitely looks like an oasis! Also I really like your choice of door!
Thank you! I strive to make it feel like an oasis for sure!
What an absolute gorgeous porch, it looks so unique and and charming, I really do love the rocking chairs. Thanks for sharing 😁
Thank you so much. I appreciate the compliment!
Ahh this is SO cute, you have the nicest decor and this porch is just beautiful! I wish I had a porch to decorate this nicely! Thanks for once again sharing your amazing home!
Thank you so much Maddie! You are too sweet!
Wow what a gorgeous area you’ve got. I’ve always wanted a front porch where I could sit and watch the world go by!
Rosie
Yes it is the perfect spot for that! Thanks so much!
You have made this porch look so pretty! So many light colour and greenery perfect for Spring! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks so much Lauren. I appreciate it!
Girl, this is absolutely stunning. I love your style of decor. If I had a porch, I’d definitely go for something like this too. I love the idea of changing your welcome mats every season – that seems like so much fun. The rocking chairs are look awesome too.
Much love always,
GABBY | http://www.gabbyabigaill.com
Thank you! Yes, changing welcome mats are a quick and easy way to change things up for the season for sure!
As always – excellent and with a style! I like to follow your posts because you are giving a great tips and having a wonderful house! But what you will do, when all rooms will look perfect? Or you like to change things and accessories often?
Lol I love to change things up often. Especially for holidays and seasons. And we still have a lot of house space left to decorate so we won’t be done for a long time!
Oh, I just love how you styled your porch. It looks like such a lovely place to relax on an evening (especially if the evening is nice). Those vintage items too 😍! Would love to have some form of porch or deck like this. We just have plants in pots and in the flower bed of our drive. I think if we had items out like that then someone would probably come along and steal them which is so annoying!
Thanks for sharing!
Aimsy xoxo
Oh no! That would be so sad! We have security cameras all over the house so hopefully no one would steal them, but if they ever did we would catch them on camera! But let’s hope that never happens lol
oh my gosh how beautiful is that! I guess you’re from USA because we don’t have anything like that in the UK unfortunately! 🙁 I’ve always loved how gorgeous all your porches look!
I am in the US and I am Southern so porches are a huge thing here. I can’t believe they aren’t too common in the UK. That’s what a lot of y’all have said! But thank you so much!
You have such a great sense of style. Your porch is so beautiful. 😀
Thank you so much. I appreciate that. I love hanging out on the porch!
You’ve done it well – I wish I was confident in my creativity. I always second and triple guess my creations to the point that the fun is gone. I’m sure what I’ve done is fine but I never seem to be satisfied with it
Oh I am sure what you do is fine too! Don’t second guess yourself! Everyone has a different style and it’s always fun to see how you come up with things!
What a lovely front terrace, you just miss the bench when coming home but
rocky chairs are also lovely. I love the plants, vintage outlook and all the details..
Thank you so much. We love sitting out here in the evenings too!
I love What you’ve done with your porch, it is gorgeous! The plants and the rocking chairs, i really want to do something like this!
Thank you so much! You definitely should! It is so much fun to style a porch!
I love your porch with all the plants and Rae Dun!
Thank you. I like the mix of Rae Dunn and vintage too!
Beautiful porch. I’d love to spend a couple of hours relaxing on one of those rocking chairs 🙂
Anda
Oh yes. I love relaxing out here for sure
Great post! I love your porch it is so pretty! I wish I had a porch.
Thank you so much! I love to style it!
