The front porch is the first area that the guests see so you need to decorate it well with all of the porch needs to make it a proper front porch. In this case, since the front porch can also be functional for you to enjoy the outdoors when the weather is good, the front porch should be proper not only to impress the guests with the pretty decoration but also with the facilities that you’ll need so that you can spend your best time there. Anyway, from all of the possible facilities for the front porch, the first thing that you should consider is the furniture. You can really enjoy your time there if there is proper furniture provided. You can sit and enjoy the snacks or beverages by using the furniture. So, there won’t be other more important things to be provided there except the furniture.

Just like your indoor furniture, the kinds of outdoor furniture can be the same. It will be based on your needs and how you will function on your front porch. Also, don’t forget to adjust the space that you have on your front porch. It will be important that you can choose the right porch furniture without making the space look crowded.

Anyway, in choosing the porch furniture, there will be some considerations that you should take. In case you want to make your porch have maximum function and performance, we recommend you take a look at these details.

1. Choose furniture sizes that can be proper and functional. You can adjust it based on your family members and your porch space.
2. Choose the style impression of the furniture so that you can harmonize it with the decoration style around the porch.
3. Decide the amount of the furniture you will provide so that you won’t make the porch space too full only with the furniture.

Now, we want to show you the kinds of porch furniture that are commonly provided. However, you can adjust the choices based on your needs.

Seating

It can be said that seating is the most important piece of furniture for a porch. Even when you don’t have a table, as long as you have the seating, then it will be ok! The seating will be functional to facilitate you and let you enjoy your time while on the porch. Anyway, there are some different kinds of seating that we will mention below.

Sofa

The sofa does not always need a wide space. You can see it here. There is also a sofa set that can be proper enough for the porch. It will be able to fit the small porch space. The sofa looks soft and comfortable. Sofa from @camelot.india

Chairs

Some of us are not interested in the chairs because they won’t be as soft as the sofa. But, the chairs have their own interest. You can simply add the pad to the chairs to make it feel soft just like what these porch chairs have. Porch Chairs from @oldsilvershed

Stools

The stool is the ‘easy to remove’ seating that you can put on the porch. You can use it as the additional seating that might be needed. This stool has a China style with the color and pattern. The appearance is so artistic and the existence is functional. China Stool Style from @maryfsaunders

Bench

The bench can be the simple and easiest seating that you can provide. It is also efficient since the bench can be used to sit more than three people. For an extra comfort, you just have to add it with the pad. Porch Bench from @west_and_co

Swing

There are some different kinds of swing but the one that is commonly used for the porch is the bench swing or bed swing. You can see it in the picture where the swing is in the form of a bed frame that can be really comfortable to sit or lay. Porch Swing from @sincerelysaunders

Table

The table is the pair for the seating. They will complement each other with the seating to give the best facility for your porch. You can put many things on the table not only the food and beverage but also the books and candles. In case you have space limitations on the porch, the table can be used as a medium to put your ornaments. However, make sure that you still leave space on the table to put the main important items (food and beverage).

Side Table

The side table design is quite simple but look at how warm it looks like. It is made of wood material with its natural wood color and pattern. It is then functioned to put candles and evergreen to create a warmer atmosphere. Side Table from @theclevergoose

Coffee Table

The coffee table is simple but has a wide impression because of its color. There are some additional items provided on the table to beautify it but not overserving at all so that there is still space for the food and beverage. Porch Coffee Table from @allisonelebashinteriors

Rack

The rack can be used to put ornaments or even the greenery. When installing it on the wall, you can save the space on the floor area. This kind of rack will be the smart solution for you who have a small porch space. Anyway, if you have enough space on the porch, you can surely put the rack on the floor.

Here is an example of the porch rack that is functioned as the pots rack. It is made of wood that can be used as a divider at once. The design is simple but able to bring a warm natural ambiance. Porch Rack from @therangeuk

Storage

Storage is not a crucial thing but can be functional in case you need it. It means that not all of us will need the storage on the porch. Your porch can still function well even without any storage. Here is an example of the storage existence on the porch

The storage there can be used to store many things. Let’s say that you can use it to store gardening appliances, magazines, pots, etc. We recommend you provide the storage in a closed-cabinet style so that the things inside won’t be seen and the porch area will stay neat.
