Levi KeswickOften, your porch sets the first impression of your house, and, as such, it’s crucial to ensure you make the right one. In the presentation of your home, your porch is the cover that either draws people in or scares them away. No matter what stylistic look you want to achieve, here are some easy ways to revive your porch this spring.
Keep It Simple
Incorporating high-quality outdoor furniture on your porch elevates the appeal without you needing to do much. Consider purchasing a wicker rocking chair or loveseat for your patio. You have complete creative control when choosing your cushions and throw pillows—you can personalize as much as you want. You can also rotate your pillows out and use them as additional décor, which you should keep in mind as the seasons change.
Maintenance
One of the most consistent and easy ways to revive your porch this spring is through solid maintenance. The patio is a hotspot for leaves, twigs, dirt, and more, so taking a couple of minutes to sweep your porch of these impurities will go a long way in upping its appearance.
Moreover, if your porch has outdoor rugs, you know how challenging it is to keep them clean. It’s not uncommon to see algae growing on your mats or notice that critters have chewed away some areas. Seeing these abnormalities can be frustrating, but there are ways to keep your outdoor area rugs in tip-top shape.
Paint It Away
As you clean your porch, you might notice that the paint in some areas is starting to lift; this is normal and expected when something is subject to harsh weather conditions. Paint that is coming off diminishes the appeal of your patio and causes it to look unkempt and abandoned. Applying a small coat of paint to any of these spots will fix your problem and improve its appearance.
