I have always believed a long front porch is one of the best design gifts a home can have.
If you are lucky enough to have that extra length, the layout possibilities feel almost endless and that is where the fun really begins.
Some people love filling every inch with seating, while others prefer a clean walkway that lets the architecture shine, and I honestly enjoy both when they are done well.
I put this collection together because I wanted to show how a spacious porch can feel cozy, functional, and beautiful all at once.
These ideas are all about making the most of the space you already have while keeping things relaxed and welcoming.
By the end, I hope you feel inspired to see your long porch not as extra space to figure out, but as an opportunity waiting to be styled.
