A porch is more than an extra “room” attached to your house – it is also a unique design space where the indoors meets the outdoors. There are twice as many ways to make an impact with the freedom that a porch provides – you can combine the stately elegance of exterior architecture with the soft touches of interior design. Especially in the case of the front porch, impact is key. As the welcoming point of your home, the front porch can just as easily say “stay away” as it can say “come on in!”
