Fun Ways to Style Your Porch

Now that the weather has cooled down, many residents of Brevard County, FL are spending more time outdoors. With the temperature in the 60s and 70s, taking a walk around the neighborhood or relaxing on your porch or patio is a pleasant way to pass the time. If you have a screened-in porch, undoubtedly you are enjoying it this time of year! To help you make the most of your outdoor areas, we have compiled some easy, creative ways to decorate and renovate your porch.

Add a ceiling fan

Although the temperatures in Melbourne and Palm Bay are comfortable right now, we all know that the notorious Florida summer is not too far away. Adding an outdoor ceiling fan to your porch will help combat the summer heat so you can enjoy spending time here year-round. Consider investing in an outdoor fan with bamboo or palm leaf blades, and make sure it is moisture resistant so it won’t be affected by humidity or rain.

Switch up the seats

Although plastic chairs and furniture are practical since they are water-resistant, oftentimes they are not the most comfortable. There are a lot of other outdoor seating options that are stylish, comfortable and long-lasting. For instance, consider adding a hammock or daybed in place of flimsy plastic chairs. Alternatively, you could opt for wicker chairs with comfortable pillows, or perhaps a rocking chair is more your style. Whichever you choose, make sure the seating is durable and comfortable!

Try a DIY decorating project

DIY projects are great for anyone on a budget. There are a ton of ways to decorate your porch without spending a lot of money, and oftentimes you might have some of the required materials already lying around your house! Pinterest has some great ideas ranging from mason jar lanterns to crafty potted plants and more.

We hope these ideas get you motivated to make the most out of your porch!
