Adding Small Accents to a Country Porch

I realize it's winter and you probably aren't thinking about decorating your outdoor living space, but you could. The porch, patio, or deck that you enjoy during the summer and the warmer months is always fun to think about. Especially if a blanket of snow covers your ground.

For two of my daughters, the winter time is still very much outdoor time. They live in warmer climates. Yes, I'm jealous! So they are adding small accents all year long.

It's those little accent pieces that can make a huge difference in the look of your country porch. The effect of a country porch is romantic, often designed around themes of by-gone eras. Oddly enough, most of those by-gone eras were decorated with plenty of little accents.

Sometimes, it's just a few little extras that can make a difference, but don't be afraid to go with lots more if that works for you. Themes that include vintage or country can have plenty of small accents and work well. Even floral themes can include fun accents.

Little extras can be a big part of creating your theme. So don't be afraid to add a little figurine on a side table, an extra centerpiece to your table, even a vignette of small accents to a corner of the country porch. You may be surprised at the result. Certainly you will be delighted.
