Welcome Home: Make Your Front Porch a Place You Love

Your front porch is so much more than just your front door.
It’s where you come home.
It’s where packages are delivered.
It’s where guests are welcomed.
It’s where first-day-of-school photos are snapped.
It’s where memories begin.
It’s also where you sip your morning coffee, wave to neighbors, and watch storms roll in. Your porch sets the tone - for your home, your style, and your story.
And whether you realize it or not, your porch makes an impression. People notice how well it’s maintained, the vibe it gives off, and what it might say about the inside of your home.
Let’s be honest: your porch is the face of your house - so let’s put some lipstick on it and make it fabulous.
The Four Viewpoints That Matter Most
When someone asks us to help update their front porch, we always start with one question:
How do you want it to feel?
Cozy? Modern? Cheerful? Calm?
Once we know the feeling, the design comes easy and we evaluate the porch from four distinct perspectives:
1. Passersby (On Foot or by Car)
If this house went on the market tomorrow, would the curb appeal catch attention?
Big, bold statement pieces tend to pop more than lots of small decor. Color and contrast help make your porch stand out - especially during seasonal changes.
A personalized sign or a beautifully styled planter can completely transform your entry. Check out our custom signs with built-in planter boxes here:

2. Delivery Drivers
In a world run by Amazon, DoorDash, and Instacart, clear house numbers are everything.
But what if your porch could also confirm their delivery spot with a name or monogram sign? Our custom address and name signs aren’t just beautiful, they’re functional.
They even include a built-in planter for effortless seasonal decorating. Delivery drivers appreciate the clarity, and you get the bonus of charm and convenience.

3. Guests
If someone’s visiting for a dinner party or dropping off their child, your front porch is their first impression.
Ask yourself:
-
Does it look clean and inviting?
-
Is the glass on the door clear?
-
Are there cobwebs hiding in the corners?
-
Is the doormat fresh or worn out?
-
Is the lighting warm and functional?
Sometimes, just replacing your outdoor light bulbs or adding a fresh doormat can work wonders. Want to go further? Our faux floral planters are effortless and stunning:

Pro tip: Tuck a Bluetooth speaker in your planter and play soft music - you’ll have them curious before they even knock.
4. You, the Homeowner
This is your space. Do you enjoy it? Does it bring you pride? Or do you dread the seasonal refresh?
If you’re not loving it, don’t worry - you’re not alone and Entry Envy is here to help! A lot of homeowners overlook their front porch. But when it is refreshed, it can change how you feel about your entire home.
They got it right in the South - the front porch has always been the heart of southern hospitality - it’s a space for tea, talks, and togetherness.
