Christmas porch decorating ideas

Porch decorating ideas is a whole new world for me. We just completed our front porch and side deck a few months ago, and I’m slowly putting together our outdoor spaces so we can enjoy them. Although this year it’s been a bit colder than in years past, we still hang out here as much as we can. Sprucing up the space for Christmas was kinda fun!

As part of the Blogger Stylin’ Home Tours with The White Buffalo Styling Co. this year, I’m really excited to share just how far we’ve come. If you’re just stopping by from This and That Life, welcome!

Right as you walk up onto the porch, these two chairs greet you. Hi there!

A baby blue spruce in a clay pot is a small nod to the holiday. In the spring we’ll plant it out in the yard and hopefully will be able to decorate it as a live tree in a few years.

Our paint colors are from Sherwin Williams: Emerald Outdoor in Ultra White for the rails and trim (as well as the rafters on the roof) and Software for the floors. I’m in love with the white/gray combo – although it does look a little odd with our current tan siding. As soon as the weather is a bit warmer we’re installing new light gray siding, and I can’t wait! The chairs will get a makeover once that happens, but for the mean time I’m leaving them as is so it relates to the tan house paint.

The porch swing area is somewhat small at only 8×8, yet our girls love swinging away. The painted rug I made a couple of months ago is still surviving nicely, too!

    Gina- That looks wonderful. How fun that you have new spaces to decorate and a great new place to hang out. We are NOT hanging out on our decks here- it is minus zero degrees! xo Diana

    How exciting to have a porch to decorate for the seasons, and yours is amazing. Love your coffee table and lantern with the white nutcrackers.

    What a cozy porch! Love the table!! My porch currently has two small Christmas trees toppled on the ground. It is soooo cold and windy outside… those babies didn’t stand a chance! Have a merry Christmas 🙂

    Gina, your porch is so pretty and I love the pop of turquoise, too! I have always wanted a front porch large enough for a porch swing…so fun. And your tour was so beautiful, too! This series has been so much fun to be a part of! I love seeing everyone’s styles coming through in their holiday decorating! 😉 xo! Jesse
