Need some inspiration for spring porch decor? Today, I am sharing some finds with you so you can be prepared after this winter storm. I look forward to adding gorgeous spring color to my outdoor areas every year! Whether you love a more colorful front porch or this neutral farmhouse-style version, I know you are probably looking forward to spring just as much as I am.
Spring Porch Decor
Start planning your spring porch decor now so you have all the supplies you need to decorate as the weather gets warmer. This year, I went with a neutral color palette so these same pieces could be used for several seasons.
Where to Purchase Decor
I picked up all of my spring porch decor at my local Hobby Lobby. Just one stop and I had everything I needed to bring some spring and farmhouse style to my home. My shopping list included:
- Spring wreath
- Planters
- Rug
- Plant stand
- Welcome sign
I had been shopping for plants for a few weeks, so that part was easy! Try finding houseplants on sale and stocking up in the off-season, then add them to your porch as soon as the weather turns warmer.
How To Make A Wood Bead Wreath
First, let’s talk about making a wood bead wreath. I have seen several versions of these online and was excited to find one at my local Hobby Lobby! I used hot glue to add a sign to the middle and a few greenery stems.
This makes for a super simple wreath that will look amazing on your front door. This version of the wood bead wreath would look great on your door for several seasons, so don’t think this one is just for spring.
How To Decorate A Spring Porch
Now that we have a cute wreath on the door, let’s add a few more elements. My favorite front porch decor is plants. Adding a variety of planters with plants of all sizes makes for easy decor that freshens up any space.
Add height to your decor with either tall plants or by raising up short plants on stands. Plant stands can be just about anything as long as you can put a plant on top of it.
Some planters even have legs that raise them up a bit. As you can see, I mixed neutral tones with black and white. Look for colors you love, as you want to end up with a porch you adore.
Of course, you can also get more traditional plant stands. I use these for shorter plants or places where I really want to add height to my decor.
I added a wooden welcome sign with a planter to the other side of the door to add height. You can absolutely make one of these with your Cricut machine; however, you can also purchase one at Hobby Lobby. I even saw unfinished wood versions of this if you wanted to paint one and add your own design.
Then I added a vining plant to the bottom, and I am in love with the results! Want to make your own version of this from wood? Try this tutorial.
Terracotta pots are also a staple around here in my decor. They are generally inexpensive and match a neutral color palette perfectly. You can see how to paint terracotta here if you want to add a splash of color.
Add a striped rug, and you have front porch decor that you can be proud of! As spring approaches, start shopping for your favorite planters and other decor items to make your porch something special this year.
Then you just have to wait for the weather to warm up so you can add your plants outdoors. I don’t know about you, but I am crossing my fingers that it won’t be too long. I am ready for some front porch decor for spring!
Tips and Tricks for Spring Porch Decor
Now that you’ve seen this spring porch decor, are you ready to makeover your front porch for spring? Here are a few tips and tricks to ensure your project goes smoothly!
- Start With What You Have – When designing your front porch, you don’t need to buy everything brand new. Instead, use what you have and make it over with some paint and vinyl decals.
- Shop the Entire Store—When it comes to front porch decor, you don’t need to shop in the “outdoor” section of your favorite store. For example, many of the pieces I got were not specifically designed for the outdoors. However, I chose pieces that had the right colors, textures, and overall feel to help create a farmhouse front porch space. So, think outside the box and shop throughout the whole store!
- Niche Down With Your Theme – If you are really on a budget, niche down with your theme. This means picking a few things to focus on when it comes to decorating. For example, with a farmhouse theme, you could pick one thing from each category below to give you something simpler to focus on. – Instead of trying to decorate with everything!
- Specific Farmhouse Style: Modern, Rustic, Country, Shabby Chic, Cottage, Boho
- Animals: Chickens, Cows, Sheep, Pig, Horse
- Colors: White, Brown, Beige, Gray,
- Textures: Wood, Rope, Metal, Burlap

Love it all. Want to try the wreath! So happy and welcoming!
Love it! Brightens up the porch
You got me with this one! I have a 1 x 12 that’s ready to paint for an indoor project, and right now I’m adding a smaller size length of lumber to make a sign for outdoors, so will be heading off to the local garden center for that and to to see if hydrangeas are in yet. I already have two large potted plants by the front door, and I’m totally in love with the 3-legged pot you have! I want a small palm like yours to help camouflage a box I leave there for Amazon deliveries. (I HAVE TO get something more attractive for that!) It is going to be in the low 90s here in Central Florida today and no wind, so perfect for spray painting a couple of lengths of lumber! My “O” will be a sand dollar….. Then my Maker gets to do some art! I LOVE doing front-door decor, and I REALLY love what you did! Stunning!
Thank you! Good luck with yours!
