I can’t wait to get this area ready for porch sitting!
It’s a bit messy right now!
I’ve neglected it since I removed the Christmas decorations at the first of the year!
It’s time to say goodbye to our poinsettias and…
deal with all of the pollen!
Ready or not, we’re going to get this porch cleaned up!
First things first!
1) Spring Clean the Front Porch
If your porch looks anything like mine, it needs a good Spring cleaning before you’ll want to spend any time there!
Check out this post for our Best Tips to Spring Clean Your Front Porch!
We’ve included this handy printable to walk you through the steps!

2) Choose a color to decorate your porch
Now’s the time to decide what colors to use!
I got the inspiration for my front porch decor from these beautiful tulips!
I love how the salmon, peach, and white colors blend beautifully!
The inside of my house is very neutral, so I decided to go bold and add some bright colors for Spring!
Want to see what I made with the tulips?
3) Welcome guests with A decorated door
One of the easiest ways to decorate your front door is to add a beautiful wreath for the season!
If you’d like to know how I made it, check out the post on how to make a simple tulip wreath for Spring!
4) Incorporate rugs
Next, you’ll want to add a rug in front of the door to help keep dirt from entering your home!
I like to layer doormats to get a new look! I replaced the one we used during winter and added another on top.
The saying on our doormat is perfect for welcoming our Spring guests!
We added this fun rug with touches of orange to the sitting area!
A rug makes the porch feel more like an indoor space.
5) Add color with Potted flowers
We were so happy to find flowers in the peach/salmon/orange family!
They go perfectly with the tulip wreath!
Now let’s hope I can keep them alive!
6) Bring an indoor vibe outside with Comfy pillows
Add pillows to your seating area for comfort and to add more color!
Add a throw blanket to the seating area to keep warm if it gets chilly outside!
7) Decorate your porch with seasonal items
We brought out a lantern with a citronella candle inside.
Then, to tie in the yellow color in the pillow, we added these gorgeous tulips!
We hope you’ll use our seven ideas to spruce up your front porch for Spring!
Now that the work is done, I’m going to grab a sweet tea with lemonade and relax on the front porch!

Looks beautiful, Donna!! I LOVE all the color!!
Hi Rachel! So glad to hear that because I was a bit nervous about using shades of orange, but I love how it turned out too!
I just love the colors you went with for your front porch Donna. It’s time for me to get started on ours! Thanks for the ideas!
Thank you! I’m enjoying the bright, cheerful colors! So far, my plants are doing great, which is a huge plus, lol!! Good luck with your porch!
Love all these helpful tips and tricks, Donna! Your porch looks amazing and all those pops of orange and yellow are such a cheery way to welcome the season. Big hugs, CoCo
Thank you, my friend! Orange was a bold step for me but I’m loving it! Hope you’re enjoying Spring on your beautiful front porch! Hugs, Donna
Donna, I admire that you are always so organized. Me? Not so much… I call myself a work in progress when it comes to organization and getting everything together promptly. Thank you for sharing your tips, I need to get started on the front porch, would you believe I just removed the poinsettias last week? I know… I am so behind.
Thank you, Cara! I caught the organization bug several years ago and have never looked back! Every year it gets easier to stay organized but it has taken a long time!! Take care, Donna
Hi Donna! I love the doormat – it’s perfect. The bright colors you selected look so pretty against your front door. Thank you for all the tips and ideas. Thank you also for sharing this post on the Home Imagined Link party.
Hi, Anna! I usually shy away from bright colors, but I have to say, I’m enjoying them! The doormat is a fun way to greet our guests! Have a great week! Blessings, Donna
