Outside Living Room

This porch promises year-round comfort. Plush furnishings and special accessories evoke a feeling of being entirely inside. Floral pillow fabrics add color to the neutral decor. Instead of a large floorcloth, small woven rugs are tossed about to add warmth underfoot, and a collection of candles brightens the space at sunset.

Give Your Porch A Makeover

Early fall is the perfect time for tackling an open-air makeover. Consider sprucing up your porch by adding color and comfort. A simple base palette of white, green, and gray-found in the newly painted floor-complements the home's exterior. Furniture and accessories in warm, rich tones of red, brown, bronze, and copper evoke the shades of autumn and provide enough seating for family and friends.
