The front porch is a perfect place to relax at any time of the day. However, if your front porch has been looking a bit shabby you may be thinking about doing a renovation.

 

What you do during this renovation is highly dependent on your budget. If you are working with a limited budget then you need to ensure that your porch renovations are cost-effective and tasteful. Here are some ideas that you can use to spruce up your porch.

Hang Plants from the Ceiling

If you have plants already adding a few that hang from the ceiling can add a different dimension to the look of your front porch. You can choose any type of flowers that you like. You can mix up the color of the hanging pots that you choose as well.

Try Painting the Ceiling

Painting the ceiling is a great way to add a new flair to your front porch. If you decide to hang the flowers, painting the ceiling in an eye-catching color that enhances the flowers is a great way to simply and effectively add color more and freshness to an otherwise dull porch.

Hang Curtains on the Porch

Hanging curtains on the porch is a unique way to add privacy and style to a porch all at once. This is a perfect idea for summer when it doesn’t rain as often.

 

Make sure that the color of your curtains is not too bright you don’t want them to overwhelm the porch. You can use tension rods behind to securely add the curtains.

Add a Swing to Your Porch

Swings look great on porches there’s no denying that. They are easy to install and can be bought ready-made.

 

Look carefully at the design of your porch to decide whether you want to go with something simple or fancy. If you choose a wooden swing you can paint it in any color that you would like as long as it fits into the decor of your home.

Expand Your Porch

Of all the renovation projects discussed here, this is the one that will probably cost you the most money. However, expanding your porch to include an area where you can dine is one of the best things you can do especially when the weather is great during the summer.

 

If you are on a tight budget you might want to look into getting a home equity loan or a loan from payday lenders to offset the cost of this renovation. It may even be worth it to save up to be able to afford this impressive change to your porch.
