Are you looking to make your porch the next big thing? Terramania’s own, Traci Miller, walks you through how to get your front door step ready for the fall season. Let’s give your porch that front porch appeal!
Traci’s Tips for your porch:
- Ask yourself…For your front porch, how do you want people to feel when they walk inside your home?
- Treat your porch like another room in your house. Your porch is an extension of your home, so have fun!
- “Don’t try to be perfect. Just play, there is no right or wrong. Don’t be afraid, just do it.” says Traci Miller, owner and designer with Terramania.
Traci’s steps for that front porch appeal:
- Flooring. Start from the bottom up. For your floors, add a rug and layer it with other pieces. These rugs can be textured, with warm tones and neutrals.
- Furniture. This is where you will find your wooden tables, chairs, and swings. Add life to your furniture by incorporating table trays paired with a throw, green plants, food, and drink, as well as earthy tones. Make it homey, your own, and authentic.
- Build. In building, you can play around with heights, levels, and grouping. Try placing your planters on a platform instead of on the floor. Enhance the atmosphere of your front porch by incorporating a mix of large and small pots. Try mixing the old with the new - that vintage vase…don’t throw it out, use it!
