How do I change my front porch to an outdoor beauty?
My porch is 9' deep and 40' wide and completely screened in. I want to turn it into a lovely place to relax and enjoy the morning sun.

Wow! What an awesome space! Where have you looked for ideas?
I would start with a few pieces of outdoor furniture. A comfy couch and coffee table and then add a ton of plants for decoration.
I wish I could have lots of plants but I tend to kill them. And don't know why....
Thanks for the reply and suggestions!
I’d love to see a photo of it! With the screen do yo get the sun shinning in? You can get an outdoor carpet, or even a some dollar tree scatter rag rugs that you can sew together to make a larger one. And just roll it up and store if it does get the elements in. Look for a cozy reading chair at estate sales, Good Will... and a footrest, side table,fairy lights. Inexpensive shelves along the walls, for collected nature things, bowls for cool rocks,pieces of a twisted branch... Andrew again if the elements come in some tarp to protect everything.
Not Andrew!! Just And.
Love your ideas Lorraine! I get morning sun and shade the rest of the day. I am thinking indoor/outdoor floor covering or maybe even painting the floor. No set decision yet. I do get rain that seeps in ever so often but other than that, completely dry. Thanks for all your suggestions!
I like the idea of painting the floor. You could paint it to make it look like a rug something that compliments your the teal bistro set.
Thank you for replying! Still thinking what I want to do but will for sure keep this in mind!
