Porches with Style

Thursday, June 17th, 2010 at 2:19 pm

On a recent walk around my neighborhood, I noticed a few wonderful outdoor seating areas in front and on the sides of homes. Some of these cozy seating spots have a punch of color and some do not. This first photo shows a beautiful white swing with colorful flowers and a flowery throw pillow, it is just calling out for someone to sit and swing.

This next porch has a lovely seating space with a few club chairs and side table. The outdoor fabric coordinates very nicely with the brick on and around the house.

I love this decorative iron bench, however, I would like to see some colorful cushions and throw pillows adding that special soft touch to complete the space.

This seating area includes an aluminum bench. The scrolled cushion has matching throw pillows that add the finishing touches. I love all of the pots with plants scattered about.

Take a walk around your home to see if there is a space that you can use to create a cozy spot, there are many choices of benches, swings, and chairs to design your space. Of course there are many outdoor fabrics to choose from to transform an ordinary space into a spectacular one.

Send me your photos of porches and benches, let me see what you have created. mblake@outdoorinteriors.com
