Creating the Perfect Farmhouse Porch: Decor & Design Tips

Porch Design: Build the Foundation of Farmhouse Style

• Go for classic white-painted wood or matte black metal railings with simple lines.
• X-brace patterns or horizontal slats add a rustic barn-inspired flair.
• A wraparound porch, even if only partial, enhances the farmhouse aesthetic dramatically.

• Square, tapered columns are a farmhouse staple. Keep them simple, avoid ornate details. Paint them to match the trim of the home for a cohesive look, or go with distressed wood for a raw, rustic contrast.

• A low wooden gate or picket-style entrance enhances the cozy, contained feel of a farmhouse porch.
• Add a Wrought iron latch or antique-style hardware for charm and function.

• If the front porch door serves as your front door, consider a door that is half solid, and half window, with mullions diving the glass into six panes.
• If the door is not the main door to the mobile home, consider a barn door with a z bar.
• Put shutters on any exposed windows on the porch side of the building.
• Consider a planter under the windows.

• Choose furniture that looks like it belongs on the cover of a country living magazine ? casual, durable, and inviting.
• Rocking chairs, Adirondack chairs, or wicker seating in neutral or wood tones are perfect.
• Include a weathered wood coffee table, vintage milk can side table, or even a repurposed bench.
• A porch swing (bonus points if it's hanging from ropes or chains) adds both charm and function.

• Choose a jute or braided rug to anchor the seating area, bonus if it's weather-resistant.
• Toss in throw pillows with gingham, ticking stripes, or buffalo check patterns.
• Add a cozy outdoor blanket in a wire basket for cooler evenings.

• Hang a rustic wooden sign, vintage thermometer, or metal windmill décor.
• Use a wreath made from cotton stems, eucalyptus, or grapevine ? it can be seasonal or year-round.
• A galvanized wall planter with trailing greenery or faux lavender adds a lived-in feel.

• Use galvanized buckets, wooden crates, or terracotta pots for planters.
• Lanterns with battery-powered candles or Edison bulb string lights create cozy evening ambiance.
• A vintage-inspired doormat or antique boot scraper gives your guests a welcoming first impression.
