15 WELCOMING SMALL PORCHES THAT BRING BIG STYLE
THESE VERSATILE OUTDOOR ROOMS EASE THE INDOOR-OUTDOOR TRANSITION AND ENCOURAGE
ENTERTAINING AND RELAXING
Marianne LipanovichNovember 25, 2023
Houzz Contributor. I'm a California-based writer and editor. While most of my
projects are garden-based, you might also find me writing about home projects
and classical music. Away from the computer, I'm found in the garden
(naturally), on my bike, or ice-skating outdoors (yes, that is possible in
California). I'm also willing to taste-test anything that's chocolate.

These 15 porches pack a lot of design ideas and amenities into their relatively
small footprints. They provide a smooth transition from the yard into the home
and create additional spots for outdoor dining, cooking and enjoying the
landscape. If it’s already too cold for outdoor living in your region, use these
ideas to inspire next year’s projects.
Beth A. Boswell, Realtor & InvestorSave Photo
1. Garden View
Two rocking chairs overlook this Atlanta home’s garden, inviting visitors and
the homeowners to sit and relax in the front yard. The porch, which is just a
short step up, feels almost like an extension of the lush plantings nestled
close to the house. The porch’s lack of railings also contributes to the open
feel, perfectly matching the charming bungalow.

2. Waterfront Overlook
This small porch attached to a Boston-area home by BPC Architecture + Interior
Design is ideal for enjoying the coastal waterway it overlooks. It’s just large
enough for a circle of chairs and a table, whether to sip morning coffee, relax
with cheese and wine before dinner, or enjoy the last bite of dessert on a
summer evening. And the sturdy roof provides plenty of protection from both sun
and rain.

3. Beachside Balcony
Classic and contemporary styles converge on this second-story porch tucked along
one side of a home in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida. The design, by Geoff Chick &
Associates, features gray shingle siding and white trim for a traditional
coastal vibe. Post-and-wire railings and clean-lined chairs and lanterns add a
more modern touch.

4. Table for Two
This cozy porch from Coyote Development Group in Albuquerque, New Mexico,
features plenty of amenities for outdoor dining and relaxing. A buffet nested
into one end holds a small refrigerator, a cabinet and open shelving, all topped
by a serving counter that makes preparing alfresco beverages a breeze. A high
table provides a bird’s-eye view of the canyon below.

5. Rustic Revisited
This porch adjoining a Kansas City, Kansas, farmhouse offers a fresh and
eclectic take on mixing design styles. Dark Hardie board-and-batten fiber cement
siding from Canes Exterior Transformations lends an industrial feel, while wood
posts and beams add a more rustic touch. Together, they offer an update on
classic porch style while still paying homage to the home’s farmhouse roots.

6. Cozy Nook
A contemporary L-shaped sofa and matching ottoman, both clad in
weather-resistant wicker-inspired finishes, fill one corner of this Seattle
front porch by Blue Sound Construction and serve as a pleasing contrast to the
home’s wood siding and farmhouse details. They also create an inviting spot for
gathering, relaxing or even napping.

7. Sunny Farmhouse
This cheery front porch in Hudson, New York, by Garrison Foundry Architecture +
Decor offers a breath of fresh air. A minimalist lounge chair, a modern side
table and playful decor help update the traditional farmhouse look. A bright
yellow door and potted plants add unexpected dashes of color.

8. Tropical Take
Where better to take in the sights and sounds of Key West, Florida, than from
this second-story porch by Kanga Construction? With a canopy of trees to create
privacy, a roof for shade and a decorative railing that references the home’s
Old Town locale, it is the epitome of tropical style. Brass-finish overhead
lights reminiscent of ships’ lanterns add to the island charm.

9. Open Concept
An intimate seating area gives this Scandinavian-inspired home by architect
Andrea Swan a welcoming feel. A white wood trellis provides dappled shade on
warmer days but still allows light to reach the Minneapolis home when
temperatures drop in winter. Two Adirondack chairs and a detailed railing next
to the front door round out the look.

10. Wonderful Wicker
Classic wicker takes on a fresh feel on this coastal-style front porch in
Bethesda, Maryland, by Waterlily Interiors. White cushions pop against the
furniture frames, with throw pillows adding bold, rich color. The cozy setup
encourages outdoor entertaining — there’s even a basket stocked with throw
blankets for when the weather turns brisk.

11. Private Retreat
Sometimes a person just needs a little alone time. This porch in Los Angeles by
J. Kurtz Design is just large enough for a chaise lounge, a small table and a
few lanterns — all that’s needed to take in the garden view. A roof overhang
provides some shade and cover, while a nearby orange tree offers fragrance and
fruit.

12. Screen Time
Neither rain nor sun nor mosquitoes can stop the owners of this vacation home by
Whitten Architects from enjoying the view of Harpswell Sound, near Portland,
Maine. Large sliding doors connect the interior with the porch, and minimal
framing keeps the space feeling open. Exposed whitewashed fir rafters and red
cedar decking also give the design a light, airy feel.

13. Relaxing in Style
A hanging daybed is an outdoor amenity that — perhaps surprisingly — can suit a
small space, as this entry porch from Dagan Design & Construction shows. The
modern take on the classic porch swing echoes the San Diego home’s modern
farmhouse design, which includes a barn-like frame shape, board-and-batten
siding and a gooseneck lamp.

14. Modern and Full of Light
This porch behind a Denver ranch house by re:architecture highlights the home’s
modern lines, with its streamlined style and cantilevered beams and ceiling.
What’s unexpected, though, is the circular cutout in the roof at one end, which
allows natural light to reach the tree growing underneath it. The designers ran
the same ceiling material from inside to out and matched the cutout’s metal
lining to the adjacent siding, tying everything together.

15. Lakeside Vibes
Wraparound steps, thick support pillars and dark gray siding with white trim
provide the perfect welcome to this cottage on Lake Michigan. A collection of
potted plants and a vintage-style bench fill out the charming space.
