Turn Your Front Porch Into an Outdoor Room

A front porch comes with big opportunities to maximize space, comfort and curb appeal. Learn how to turn your front porch into an outdoor room in this Better Homes and Gardens video:

Boost a basic porch railing with an eye-catching design. A geometric motif adds instant charm.

Give an outdoor room indoor personality by painting the floor to look like a colorful rug. A stencil is a quick and affordable way to create a custom look.

Use furniture to maximize square footage. A porch swing seats one to three people; add an acrylic bin to the side to store reading material. A garden stool can serve as an extra seat or side table. Top a shipping palette with plexiglass and create a table for drinks and decor.

Even with a small front porch, you can still live large in your outdoor room!
