Fabulous Porches Decorating Ideas For Summer 2013

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="color: orange;"><b>Porch Decorating Ideas </b></span><br />For us, the porch is one of the most important rooms in the house. We do most of our entertaining there. Living in Florida, many of my clients feel the same way. When looking for porch decorating ideas, approach it just as you would an interior room. Think about how the space will be used and who will be using it. Some questions to ask yourself:<br />What type of seating do you need?<br />Do you need a dining table?<br />What type of lighting do you need?<br />Do you need to create more privacy via curtains or blinds?<br />Also consider the architectural style of your home and incorporate elements when decorating your porch. The colors you choose should coordinate with the exterior colors of the home. If the porch and indoor living areas open up to one another, consider your home’s interior color scheme as well.<br /><br />I hope you’ve been inspired by these porch decorating ideas. Before you start decorating your porch, think about how you envision using it. Borrow ideas from other rooms and see what you can do to incorporate them in your design. Most of all, have fun with it!<br /><br /><span style="color: orange;"><b> By : Peggy Pardo</b></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS1Kd3hrZimP7LJ7qBZKZT-gV8Hag85DgR1_QEPFwOTWvpjw3qcZQ4hmHE1fvh2JQhCpYyzWebHfrApZy_hYEUGgrWrVO6PtGw_5Gjt2batgd1Qkzsa0i-ud3zlgwStZNjUdtjA9ntV8U/s1600/Fabulous-Porches-Decorating-Ideas-For-Summer-2013-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Sustainable solutions were used, such as reusing furniture already in their collection and repainting vintage shutters. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJoMPqLMxA_ppf-kGTpcI8EX7KPhn6i-OUEGUGJbXw-mZ-amktIBwtPx5vqN_JFIeYlL0x7FSjZq9YTyLTx-PEGIHNj25DWe_Pr_GSW-xSd75UyFQk-X0FzSGqVt71qiiKZwR_uEZwZhI/s1600/Chic-Porch-Room-Summer-2013-Decorating-Ideas-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJoMPqLMxA_ppf-kGTpcI8EX7KPhn6i-OUEGUGJbXw-mZ-amktIBwtPx5vqN_JFIeYlL0x7FSjZq9YTyLTx-PEGIHNj25DWe_Pr_GSW-xSd75UyFQk-X0FzSGqVt71qiiKZwR_uEZwZhI/s640/Chic-Porch-Room-Summer-2013-Decorating-Ideas-2.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">These adorable outside shutters added a personal touch that also perked up the facade. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjleHQa6XaXH4jCvTUUMDdaljsuLLa4M3jpLkZukK0HecuA_eP1aVzDmOZ-NAk1uhZ66JHT73hRMoO_4El9Xz5cHnsVlvUDBPJtM_1pr21eEZ5Kh45Boi1sePbwpR2O6nERIQmkcaeDJlY/s1600/Chic-Porch-Room-Summer-2013-Decorating-Ideas-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjleHQa6XaXH4jCvTUUMDdaljsuLLa4M3jpLkZukK0HecuA_eP1aVzDmOZ-NAk1uhZ66JHT73hRMoO_4El9Xz5cHnsVlvUDBPJtM_1pr21eEZ5Kh45Boi1sePbwpR2O6nERIQmkcaeDJlY/s640/Chic-Porch-Room-Summer-2013-Decorating-Ideas-3.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The bright colors and patterns in the design create a room full of whimsy while still being in-line with the traditional New England summer cottage look of the main building. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTHoiZPFRjar0Y1Q3oXK4r3yRjI6LzZrk8rqtmFn2Nuq-Kf1HZtMmYSXNVSLf0YD1hkEYIGLSlUk4KklbhmWpjlZ9M8LRhhvBh9Ccy8H5_Cucgyno3QlAKg999-fK-Rmp-aOm00d5rabw/s1600/Chic-Porch-Room-Summer-2013-Decorating-Ideas-4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTHoiZPFRjar0Y1Q3oXK4r3yRjI6LzZrk8rqtmFn2Nuq-Kf1HZtMmYSXNVSLf0YD1hkEYIGLSlUk4KklbhmWpjlZ9M8LRhhvBh9Ccy8H5_Cucgyno3QlAKg999-fK-Rmp-aOm00d5rabw/s640/Chic-Porch-Room-Summer-2013-Decorating-Ideas-4.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Revamped yard sale finds create a citrus sorbet color palette of seating.

A sisal rug beneath the seating arrangement helps define the area. The two sided fireplace adds warmth and light when the sun goes down. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggFdl0C_oR6l4rH08o2ylWx4R8OUm6DSVyaG3YS7oqG4wx3AWsi15Fda5ZPxYQV64j4z9W8b0l38LITxLbL0R7z11JbelRwBshvbuqIif2oP7aOqpX2Jlm1Ndac58IqtSY8ukbss19khk/s1600/Decorating-Porches-Ideas-for-Summer-2013-8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggFdl0C_oR6l4rH08o2ylWx4R8OUm6DSVyaG3YS7oqG4wx3AWsi15Fda5ZPxYQV64j4z9W8b0l38LITxLbL0R7z11JbelRwBshvbuqIif2oP7aOqpX2Jlm1Ndac58IqtSY8ukbss19khk/s640/Decorating-Porches-Ideas-for-Summer-2013-8.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Reclaimed wood ceiling beams, wrought iron accents, and stone flooring convey old-world style in this sunporch. French doors along one side of the room welcome visitors from the inside. On the opposite wall, heavy curtains can be thrown open to welcome fresh breezes or closed if the space ever feels chilly. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRkolQf0JO9UvsctFVNGKYnSV6TdiA-_JfZ4SmAF3P8-6ns_glDVfGJyv4VRHptleFTExODDqqgNJCp3rzMLG30ou4EyHqVqsL8xj4s-pMY1tHgvr77yMwuMVDURyQ20nRsP7WGYh4jyA/s1600/Decorating-Porches-Ideas-for-Summer-2013-9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRkolQf0JO9UvsctFVNGKYnSV6TdiA-_JfZ4SmAF3P8-6ns_glDVfGJyv4VRHptleFTExODDqqgNJCp3rzMLG30ou4EyHqVqsL8xj4s-pMY1tHgvr77yMwuMVDURyQ20nRsP7WGYh4jyA/s640/Decorating-Porches-Ideas-for-Summer-2013-9.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">A four-season porch design for casual entertaining is enhanced by equally casual furnishings. Adirondack chairs are an always-welcome classic, perfect for lounging. In this space, the design was adapted into a sofa, which easily accommodates two people. An infusion of red, white, and blue in striped motifs creates a nautical look that exudes summer style. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3wpYvRqZk_PZdczwRg2BNQ7KHTI58ILSP7IM1Mdk6AcmgSWgYyyfeJU4xxTVkaEgceI0-ORZLvUGA01iQGvJjqLK0R2nQJ7S4rLWE2JMZKb7JWdc4Xr2U0JjgTcTRrfXKrz8ph98W0qA/s1600/Decorating-Porches-Ideas-for-Summer-2013-10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3wpYvRqZk_PZdczwRg2BNQ7KHTI58ILSP7IM1Mdk6AcmgSWgYyyfeJU4xxTVkaEgceI0-ORZLvUGA01iQGvJjqLK0R2nQJ7S4rLWE2JMZKb7JWdc4Xr2U0JjgTcTRrfXKrz8ph98W0qA/s640/Decorating-Porches-Ideas-for-Summer-2013-10.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">An infusion of airy cottage style is the perfect complement to the flood of natural light that fills a window-lined enclosed porch. Mimic the look of a classic cottage front porch by installing beaded board on the ceiling. For full on cottage style, use plenty of wicker accessories, flowers, and soft, bright colors like the frothy aqua on this dining room set. If you're enclosing an open-air porch, create continuity by using the same trim and window styles in the enclosure that's in the rest of your home. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtxqbqTaWvzNvwyXz4vPMjYi_5GGG-zVA-tqrHH-uI3ewCFrUrERB7QTpSClbhjJNp3k-McGKlpEqUq0IB4gFK5kjT9Rhx40_VDXj2ggEX_Bga7G9HiLLQh_va7SjpIoEnzzk6O4s0t5o/s1600/Decorating-Porches-Ideas-for-Summer-2013-11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtxqbqTaWvzNvwyXz4vPMjYi_5GGG-zVA-tqrHH-uI3ewCFrUrERB7QTpSClbhjJNp3k-McGKlpEqUq0IB4gFK5kjT9Rhx40_VDXj2ggEX_Bga7G9HiLLQh_va7SjpIoEnzzk6O4s0t5o/s640/Decorating-Porches-Ideas-for-Summer-2013-11.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This screen porch is a breezy spot to spend spring, summer, and fall days. A light stain on the porch floor, white furniture and walls, and a wood table provides a neutral backdrop. Bright accents on the pillows, vases, and candelabra fill the space with color. For updates on a budget, limit bold colors to accessories. They are less expensive than large pieces of furniture and easier to update when you crave a change. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHcHpkFIhZBp2XdnYFxOY2LBFPjc4cEjOPcPrhqw_f25qpDGnHuklH9gZB-ptuAZY6LMxfx4JLZ4VFaUJq4a-pPnwSzbWvf5rYKSNJf3d3SI57tKGCICeqpwzvre-3AhQSlCp1c4qOROg/s1600/Decorating-Porches-Ideas-for-Summer-2013-12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHcHpkFIhZBp2XdnYFxOY2LBFPjc4cEjOPcPrhqw_f25qpDGnHuklH9gZB-ptuAZY6LMxfx4JLZ4VFaUJq4a-pPnwSzbWvf5rYKSNJf3d3SI57tKGCICeqpwzvre-3AhQSlCp1c4qOROg/s640/Decorating-Porches-Ideas-for-Summer-2013-12.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This stacked stone fireplace not only adds warmth to the screen porch, it also acts as a privacy screen, partially blocking the view from the outside into the porch addition. To give your porch substance, add in architectural millwork, such as these the simple pilasters with columns. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-YN_DLK6pfYHYJtz-YAAyEaIHm1SGg3Erdj9PgvcUuhg7Vw6NnJS879d970LBvZ29UW5xTU762fx1F7t-f738HUm6oHffx1xi9bVR5SyX-wh-Hwt8M48_1lE9y-mgqESlD3fywJ8Peb4/s1600/Decorating-Porches-Ideas-for-Summer-2013-13.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-YN_DLK6pfYHYJtz-YAAyEaIHm1SGg3Erdj9PgvcUuhg7Vw6NnJS879d970LBvZ29UW5xTU762fx1F7t-f738HUm6oHffx1xi9bVR5SyX-wh-Hwt8M48_1lE9y-mgqESlD3fywJ8Peb4/s640/Decorating-Porches-Ideas-for-Summer-2013-13.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This screen porch gets a punch of color from bright furniture and accessories that can withstand the elements. Colorful outdoor grade wicker chairs and zippy vinyl lamps that mimic paper party lanterns pop against the white walls and window treatments. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKu4b8y-gzpJbDhCC6Is07oUcT4vpxvNJBvPJI5KVCqzyXvWWoz76i00Fdng8pAsRZ_VOly7l70aSiLVDbj-ebHoiMto1rFJwGW1-emTI51wDOKsWKSM0W0Bkui-X7ZHHa7GzMvW0xhv8/s1600/Decorating-Porches-Ideas-for-Summer-2013-14.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKu4b8y-gzpJbDhCC6Is07oUcT4vpxvNJBvPJI5KVCqzyXvWWoz76i00Fdng8pAsRZ_VOly7l70aSiLVDbj-ebHoiMto1rFJwGW1-emTI51wDOKsWKSM0W0Bkui-X7ZHHa7GzMvW0xhv8/s640/Decorating-Porches-Ideas-for-Summer-2013-14.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Make the most of a small porch with slender furniture. A small bistro table-and-chairs set adds functional seating to this home's casual porch, while not overwhelming the tiny space like a larger set would. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguMmd3xLibA3L40OJi0AIkEqRAcENOeurm9eCHgeVDOQVVaD2Ux9ePQ8DkF5j6L3EhFzQnduuF6IBHgudO9wA3dxMuXPLELf07HtPwkQ0w48ORAjI-Wp90KTphKRB4uWtnYq85CcLZqPQ/s1600/Decorating-Porches-Ideas-for-Summer-2013-15.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguMmd3xLibA3L40OJi0AIkEqRAcENOeurm9eCHgeVDOQVVaD2Ux9ePQ8DkF5j6L3EhFzQnduuF6IBHgudO9wA3dxMuXPLELf07HtPwkQ0w48ORAjI-Wp90KTphKRB4uWtnYq85CcLZqPQ/s640/Decorating-Porches-Ideas-for-Summer-2013-15.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Give your porch a boost with a little bit of paint. Revive worn chairs with a few coats of paint in a bright hue. Or try painting your door a striking color. Black paint turns this ornately trimmed door into a worthy focal point. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5s6M_KOOja761V70RVF71tgft3nHF2gntH6yfQFBa3QsofSKU1hm8o_cF-Hx7GLszgnBCNP06A5gHh2nWfcx4zhG6xzFNM8CzbPzJjYQksv8d0QYzUy6n5xOzi4WSjUtBCjhgEAtUyhM/s1600/Decorating-Porches-Ideas-for-Summer-2013-16.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5s6M_KOOja761V70RVF71tgft3nHF2gntH6yfQFBa3QsofSKU1hm8o_cF-Hx7GLszgnBCNP06A5gHh2nWfcx4zhG6xzFNM8CzbPzJjYQksv8d0QYzUy6n5xOzi4WSjUtBCjhgEAtUyhM/s640/Decorating-Porches-Ideas-for-Summer-2013-16.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Add the functionality of a dining room to an enclosed porch with a few basic furniture pieces. Start with an intimate round table and comfortable chairs, then incorporate a sideboard, credenza, or buffet. A versatile piece of furniture like this one adds storage as well as a place to set up food and drinks for a porch dinner party. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div>
