In this post I want to show you 10 beautiful small porch decor ideas to help you style your small porch and to transform it into a small have.
If you have been dreaming about styling your small porch and transforming it into a cozy and inviting space then look no further. In this post I want to show you some practical and cute ideas how to style your small porch in a budget friendly way.
The front porch is the first impression of your home, and even when many don’t step into your but walk or drive by it is nice to have a beautiful curb appeal and create a good impression.
Small porches can be tricky because sometimes there just isn’t enough room for what you really want but just because it’s small does not mean you can have a stunning entrance. And here is how:
Work with the space you have
Examine your small front porch and see what CAN fit, or what options you have. Is it big enough for a small bistro set? Can a fit one or two planters? Would an outdoor rug fit? And the list goes on.
It doesn’t need to be expensive
Online marketplace and thrift stores can be a gem when decorating your home, and that isn’t any different with outside decor. You might be surprised what you will find! Then there is also the option of making things yourself like DIY planters, wreaths, a bench and so on. Be creative!
Work with the seasons
Each season brings unique opportunities and options when decorating your outside small porch. In winter evergreen trees and winter wreaths are great! In summer beautiful planted planters and outside seating would be great. Fall and spring also have stunning outdoor decor to choose from. It’s fun to go with the seasons and switch things up.

Here are some inspirations and ideas I came across for small porch decor ideas:
1. Add Chair
Just by adding a cute chair and something simple as a cushion can go a long way and presents the opportunity of little place of rest. When you don’t have a lot of space for seating then consider a chair!
2. Add Neutral Planters
Planters fit on most porches and go a looong way! I especially love planters in a modern organic style like pictured above. They add curb appeal instantly!
3. Make it cozy with lighting
Lighting goes a long way! I especially love spring lighting because of the cozy vibe it gives but other lighting like sconces, lanterns or chandeliers make a huge difference as well.
4. Bistro Set
A bistro set is such a cute way to create a spot where you can have your morning tea, sit down and talk with a friend or neighbour and create a little zone of peace.
5. Topiaries
I’m a huge fan of topiaries! I know they can come expensive when getting them real however I have come across artificial ones that would totally pass as real! And you don’t need to water those! They instantly give your small porch a sophisticated look and add so much to the curb appeal.
6. Rocking Chair
A rocking chair is another great way to create a “moment” on your porch. An invitation to sit down and rest a while and take in the evening sunset! It’s simple but makes a big difference.
7. Hanging Planters
Hanging planters are a great option when you don’t have the place for bigger planters but you love flowers. They instantly add a pop of colour and happiness!
8. Add a rug
I say this often but a rug grounds the space and pulls it al together. They aren’t expensive and an easy addition that makes a big impact.
9. Add bench seating
If you can’t tell from my previous points, seating is important, even on small porches! A bench is an easy way to add seating, especially surrounded by some greenery and a throw or pillow it will transform your front porch.
10. Add a wreath
Last but not least, do not underestimate a wreath! It can really make a big difference! Adds charm and beauty and you really don’t need a whole lot of space for one!
Try these suction wreath hangers for quick and easy installation and they won't damage your door!
