Nothing says “fun” like a festive front porch brimming with guests. When you design home exteriors with a welcoming entryway, it gives homeowners solutions for entertaining (and some impressive curb appeal).
The front porch on this farmhouse design features classic white columns, which offset the deep, warm brown tones in the window shutters and front door. The exterior plan features symmetry and straight lines to contrast with the curves and smaller details in the porch columns, resulting in a successful, classically-inspired style.
All steal-worthy ideas for the homeowner that wants to wow and welcome guests.
Bring the entertainment outside with a sheltered outdoor kitchen, complete with a long dining table, grill, mini fridge and more. Add in an outdoor fireplace and this area becomes usable all year round. With the right landscaping, you have plenty of room for all of your family and friends to hang out. And if you have enough space, consider adding a pool for the ultimate relaxation area. Be sure to pick materials that won’t need a lot of upkeep in order to keep the cleaning time to a minimum and fun time to a maximum. If homeowners choose a low maintenance siding on their outdoor shelter, they’ll likely only need to clean the exterior with a simple soap and water solution.
For homeowners that need a touch of luxury for their guests, pergolas and gazebos give them plenty of solutions. And adding a structure like this to an outdoor space can be a good investment. “Keep in mind that when it is time to sell your home, the value will be greatly determined by how large the gazebo or pergola is,” according to Outdoor Living Today. “In many instances, it follows that the larger the gazebo, the greater its appeal, and the more value it holds.”
Homeowners don’t need a complicated exterior plan to create the perfect entertaining area, though. With ample seating and a fire pit, it’s easy to inspire fun in any outdoor space, especially with large yards like this home.
