Organizing and Accessorizing Your Porch

Springtime means porch weather – sitting, sipping, watching the world go by. We’ve assembled some ideas for keeping entry spaces like porches and mudrooms looking their best for the season.

Mudroom magic

If you’re lucky enough to have a mudroom with a little more space, a locker system can be an excellent solution for coats, shoes, and other gear.

By the numbers

Make your address stand out with a handcrafted address sign, like this beauty from local ceramics artist Rachael DePauw.

Lighten up

New light fixtures can refresh or update a porch at any price point. For the classic New Orleans look, Bevolo is always a winner.

Clean sweep

Keep things tidy with a porch broom that’s both utilitarian and beautiful, like this handmade Swedish model by Iris Hantverk.

Neat feet

No more scattered footwear in the mudroom or entryway! Keep shoes off and away inside a sleek shoe cabinet that blends right in.

Seating and storage

Porch swings are pretty, but an attractive bench with storage can pull double duty. Add a cushion for comfortable seating plus storage for cleaning supplies, pet gear, and other outdoor needs.

A lovely umbrella stand can hold not only umbrellas but walking sticks or other items that need easy access.
