Highlight Your Home’s Porch With These 8 Eye-Catching Items

A porch light is synonymous with a warm welcome. This black Creative Co-Op Metal and Glass Outdoor Light ($110) gives the traditional lantern silhouette a contemporary update via a top arch, but the seeded glass has a classic feel. So pretty.

This Marina Mailbox ($30) is available in various colors, but this cardinal red is a true showstopper.

These Woven Metal Planters with Wood Stands ($212) make it so easy to decorate your porch. Offered in a set of three, they look gorgeous when grouped together. Load them up with succulents, ferns, or faux plants to create a transitional tableau at your front door.

Knock-knock! Who's there? This sweet little Fox Door Knocker ($23), that's who. Made of cast brass, it's a sleek update to your front door.

House numbers are a small aspect of your front-porch situation, but well-chosen ones add instant curb appeal. These embossed aluminum Black and White Number Signs ($18) are made with antique tooling in Portland, Oregon, so they have an authentically vintage look and feel.

If you're lucky enough to have a spacious porch, imagine what your evenings could look like this summer: a balmy breeze blowing while you and a friend get lost in conversation. This Coral Sand Outdoor Chairs with Table Set ($238) makes it possible, and the weather-proof construction — think powder-coated steel frames and resin wicker — mean you can create a space without stressing about sun, thunderstorms, and inclement weather taking a toll.

This Jute Doormat ($50) is a stylish choice for covered porches. It's an especially smart option for shadowed places, since the light color can brighten up the space.

Although this Madaket Outdoor Basket ($348) looks as though it's crafted from traditional wicker, it's actually resin wicker — so you can let this basket remain outdoors and hide clutter.
