The front porch can be one of the most important spaces in your home. It sets the tone as visitors drop by. It’s also often a place to sit and relax in, catching up with friends over a drink, or simply taking some time to yourself with a book and a good coffee.
You can furnish it as you would any other welcoming space in the house, albeit one with a swing seat instead of a sofa. But you can also surround yourself with container plants, climbers and hanging baskets, and start to bring the natural beauty of your yard to your doorstep, to create a beautifully scented first impression.
