Neutral Spring Porch

I wasn’t sure if it was going to happen or not with everything going on, but I was able to pull off our spring porch and I’m loving it this year! Decorating our porch is one of my favorite things to do, especially after the dead of winter when it’s been looking pretty blah for the past few months. I went with a really similar look to our classic spring porch from last year, but changed out the rugs and made it feel a tad more boho, modern? Alright, whatever the style is, here is our neutral spring porch this year.

It was a few years ago now that I realized a 5X7 rug fits perfectly on our front porch and I haven’t turned back since! Having the base rug down really sets the look for the porch and then I build off of it.

Layered Porch Rugs

I went with this new boho style rug from Target this year (I don’t think this is the exact one I used, I can’t seem to find the one just bought on here! It must be sold out already). It’s a fun look for spring and summer and different than the more classic one that was on here before.

Then I added my fav thick welcome mat that will stand the test of time.

Front Porch Planters

I have had these black planters for so many years that I wonder if I should change them out by now. Are you tired of seeing them yet? But I still love them. I did give them a new coat of black matte spray paint this year though, I felt like they needed a little pick me up.

I added these simple tall grasses to each pot. These are the Grasses. They say that they require full sunlight, the porch get a good amount in the morning and afternoon but not full, so we will see how this goes!

My goal with every room is to make it feel warm, i My goal with every room is to make it feel warm, inviting and extra cozy. It’s often the final finishing touches that truly transform the vibe of a room. I picked up some final styling pieces from @wayfair , I am obsessed with both side tables. They are both statement pieces. And the personal photos, candle, heart trays and leather pillows are why bring the warmth and personal touches into this space. 

Comment SHOP for everything I added in here!

I finally found the perfect family and pet-friendl I finally found the perfect family and pet-friendly sofa that passes the designer test! This is the 5-Seat Modular Corner Sectional from @7thavenueco in the color Oatmeal Beige. We ordered it in the extra-deep seat option for ultimate coziness. The material is water-repellent, stain-resistant and you can also throw all covers in the wash!

We cannot say enough great things about this sofa, we all love it and just sink into it. It definitely passes the family test. Plus, it truly is gorgeous. It looks very chic. 

Comment SOFA and I’ll send you the link to this exact one!
