With Spring right around the corner, I am excited to share this spring porch decor. I’ve designed these three mood boards to help you create the perfect outdoor living space. This spring porch decor is perfect to create an outdoor space where you and your family will want to spend time relaxing and entertaining.
Whether you are adding curb appeal to your portico or designing a covered porch on the back terrace, a well-appointed outdoor room is the perfect way to extend the living space of your home and increase its market value.
Design Option 1:
Sunday Porch Swing | Pink Throw Blanket | Floral Throw Pillow | Pink Striped Pillow | Lanterns | Doormat | Wreath | House Numbers
Hang a Swing
Porch swings have been a staple of American homes since the early 1900s, but today’s swings are the perfect updated focal point of any outdoor living space. This swing from Ballard Designs with deep-seat cushions and detachable drink tray provides the perfect way to enjoy fresh air, read a book, take a nap, or unwind in the evening with a glass of wine.
This slat-rail swing is well-crafted of quality construction and features a beautiful moisture-resistant whitewash (or graywash) eucalyptus finish perfect for covered outdoor weather conditions. The cushions and bolster pillows are covered in easy-to-clean twill and finished with detailed piping. The neutral upholstery serves as the ideal backdrop for any color scheme or design aesthetic.
Layer with Pillows
Adding layers of pillows in varied colors, shapes, and patterns is the perfect way to incorporate a pop of color and personalize your room. This large, handmade designer pillow in muted blue/grays and blush with yellow flowers adds an elegant touch to the casual swing.
Balancing the floral print with a dotted stripe linen pillow adds texture and creates interest. Next, pair a slightly smaller solid or striped pillow in complementary colors to bring out a bohemian feel.
Accessorize
This cable-knit chenille throw blanket – which unites the overall color scheme and introduces an unexpected texture to the room’s design – is an ideal accoutrement for cool spring evenings or fall naps.
Bring a touch of outside indoors with a wreath. The frost-kissed dusting of the Lambs Ear, coupled with the soft blush-colored flowers and lavender accents in this wreath, creates an airy atmosphere and unifies the room’s décor.
Add Texture
Introduce a layer of texture to the room with a woven jute scatter rug. The natural fibers and woven diamond design of this rug perfectly completes the boho design.
Lighting is an important layer of good design. Add a flicker of light with candles in these lanterns. The woven metal grid design casts a soft glow and looks beautiful as a table or floor accent.
Remember the Finishing Touches
These sleek house numbers are a perfect way to add a fresh, updated look to the front of your home. These six-inch-tall numbers are not only eye-catching, but they are also well made and customizable.
Design Option 2

For those who love blue, this mood board is for you. In this design, I have paired shades of blue with varied textures to create the perfect relaxing outdoor space.
Swing Your Blues Away
Not only do I own this swing from Ballard Designs, but I also highly recommend it to anyone who wants to create a beautiful and relaxing covered porch environment. The swing is extremely well made and perfect for entertaining or relaxing alone. The neutral upholstery and detailed piping are easy to clean. Also, the eucalyptus materials in the whitewash or gray-wash finish is weather resistant.
I love the slatted-rail design and removable drink tray. This swing is not only inviting, but it is the perfect focal point for any outdoor sanctuary.
Get Floored
The flat woven texture and striped pattern of this beachside rug provides the durability and the warmth. The clean lines and sophisticated style of this fringed rug effectively grounds the room’s design.
Chill Out
This 60-inch by 50-inch, sensory-friendly, knitted throw provides a splash of blue to the room. It’s the perfect throw for cool evenings or crisp morning air.
Bring on the Pillows
Nothing adds style and comfort quite like well-paired pillows. For this blue and cream outdoor room, I chose an 18-inch square cotton striped pillow because I love the textured contract of the stripes and dark background. I chose the timeless blue and cream Jacobean pillow with stylized floral print to soften the tailored stripes and add a touch of whimsy. A solid cream-colored Chambray pillow connects the blues and creams and rounds out the overall color pallet.
Add the Accessories
The grapevine and eucalyptus wreath adds a lush touch of lifelike greenery year-round. The Ella Wreath offers understated elegance with realistic eucalyptus leaves, vines, twigs, berries, and pinecones for an affordable way to adorn a door or wall in your outdoor space.
Add modern six-inch Rock Creek house numbers for an easy and inexpensive update to your home’s exterior.
Finally, a grouping of three Malibu indoor/outdoor lanterns in varied sizes infuses architectural interest into the room and provides a romantic touch with flickering candles.
Option 3

There is nothing like comfortable seating on a front porch to encourage visitors to linger. If you are lucky enough to have a large covered porch, consider adding seating and other outdoor design elements to welcome guests to your home.
Get Into the Swing of Things
Shades of soft mossy greens in this mood board reflect nature and create a tranquil outdoor ambiance. I have adorned the Ballard Design hanging swing with pillows and accessories. I decided to go with a variety of muted green hues. The swing, is a slotted eucalyptus design. It’s available in a whitewash and gray-wash finish. I love how durable and weather resistant this swing is. It’s perfect for a covered porch.
This swing not only provides reminiscent seating for guests, but it also provides a relaxing place for swinging, reading, and even napping in the fresh air.
Color Your World
Curl up on the swing with a good book and wrap in the mossy green 50-inch by 60-inch chenille throw that is both beautiful and incredibly soft.
Mix and match pillows in complementary colors to create a chic and comfortable invitation to guests. I started with a minimalist farmhouse pillow. I am loving the natural green-and-white floral design. In contrast to the farmhouse style, the green plaid and sea mist pillows offer a tailored touch of masculine refinement.
Welcome Guests
Adding a rug to your porch is a great way to make it feel more like an extension of your home. In this mood board, I chose a knotted basket weave jute doormat to welcome guests.
Add a sense of formality with these Versailles-inspired planters from Frontgate. The exclusive cast-aluminum design includes drainage. They are perfect aesthetic for a manicured topiary or fanciful olive tree.
Wreathes are not just for doors. They are a budget-friendly way to adorn walls, windows, and furniture. This faux botanical wreath of seeded eucalyptus is the perfect accent for adding greenery to your porch.
