Adding a porch to a front door can vastly improve kerb appeal - providing a lovely inbetween area when transitioning from the outside to in. They don’t just add a thoughtful design flourish, but they protect visitors waiting to be welcomed in and keep our belongings dry as we frantically hunt for keys!
As with most architectural details, front porch ideas should be carefully matched to the history, style and materials of the house. That’s not to mean they have to be exactly the same - in fact a contemporary glass and metal porch can look fantastic against a traditional stone cottage - but eyes are drawn to ill-proportions and bolt-ons when it comes to houses.
