Front porch furniture

[adlove]

I've been looking for some furniture (mainly chairs) for our porch, and I came across these cute ones today at ikea. Ignore the cheesy pic of us posing haha it was the only one we had of the front of the house with final paint colors.

i was thinking it would look good to put two on the right side in front of the single window with a small table between them. If I did this, what should go on the left side? More chairs, or something different?

Also wanted to note that the left side of the porch is longer than the right, not so obvious in this pic.

i think i would do two (or four... would you ever have company on this porch?) on the left side with a small table and nothing on the right. it would look really off balance to put furniture on the smaller side and i'm just not sure what you'd put on the other side.

i have full rooms of furniture on my porch in the summer (my porch is only 3/4 smaller than my house so why not!) so i have a table and six chairs and the grill in one area and then a rug with chairs/loveseat sized thing with side tables and a coffee table in another spot. we entertain on our porch and pretty much live out there in the summer though so it makes sense to have all that out there.

Chairs and table on the far left, and then a bench and planters center/right. I'd go for something evergreen that you can put some color in for the summer.

Is there a loveseat? I'd do a loveseat or a porch swing (so much fun!) on the small side and the chairs and a table on the big side.

Tell me you do bold punchy plants on that porch in the summer! It's just begging for some chartreuse potato vine and some magenta Wave petunias trailing down off those brick pillars!

Thanks everyone! I was thinking the chairs on the right and something larger on the left, like a loveseat or a bigger table and chairs, like a bistro set maybe? Or a swing? I wish there were larger matching pieces to the chairs.

Definitely want to put lots of plants and maybe a fiddle leaf fig or something. So excited to decorate!

Cute house! I agree with doing the chairs on the left with a table.

What about making some kind of L shaped bench seat for the right? You could do lots of colorful outdoor pillows on it and it be almost like a small sectional.

Great suggestions. That house is totally adorable!!!

Thanks so much for the suggestions! Bluesky- that website has some really great stuff I haven't heard of it before so I will definitely see if I can find something there.



I'll be sure to keep everyone updated
