Modern Spring Porch With Black Exterior

Thanks For Sharing!

Our exterior is finally done! I cannot wait to show you the full before and after of our bold exterior makeover. I just need to finish shoveling the rest of the gravel to our backyard so I can get full exterior shots. But in the mean time I’m revealing little by little as I get things styled and put together. I cannot get over how much our entry has changed by just changing our house color. Here is our new modern spring porch with black exterior.

After a lot of back and forth we finally went with Sherwin Williams Tricorn Black. I was hesitant at first thinking it would be too stark black, but I could not be happier with how it turned out!

I went with black on black, meaning black exterior with black trim. It creates a cleaner more modern exterior and fits the style of our interior a lot better. Plus, look how awesome those new wood planters just pop against the dark exterior! Our previous wood ceiling even looks a lot more defined.

And if you need a refresh, here is what our porch looked like before, the last time I shared our porch on here! I had just painted our front door black to give it a pop. I knew painting our exterior would make a big difference but I don’t think I knew just how much, even after looking at these pictures! What a before and after!

If you follow on Instagram, I was debating if these planters were too tall for this space. I tried them in our backyard, but ultimately felt like they fit the porch better. My husband actually suggested we keep them here and put some low, modern plants in them. I went with a simple grass knowing it would grow over time and fill the planter a little more.

I kept our porch simple and clean. The bold exterior color paired with the tall statement planters is really all I need out here!

I can’t wait to show you even more of the house, so here is a little peek!

    Absolutely love your new entry! What kind of wood/stain was used on the ceiling? Do you have more info on how copper gutters hold up to the weather? I, too, love the copper accents!

      Hi! I actually kept the original stain from when we purchased the house, so I don’t have any info, sorry! I have heard mixed things on true copper gutters, I only did lights. So far so good!

    Hello! We just purchased a 1976 home and we are going to be transforming it into a modern mid-century look….. I’m soooo excited! I’m curious if you know the stain color that was used on your ceiling/planters? LOVE the porch!

      Hi! the ceiling planks were already on the house when we bought it, I’m not sure the stain and the planters are from World Market! https://bit.ly/3o7Fqyc
