Lots of nice chairs and tables with fun fabrics. Add outdoor area rugs. Use planters and hanging ferns. Maybe add outdoor draperies pulled back between columns
Diana,
I agree with the previous suggestions.
I love the look of wrap around porches!
I'll add that it's important to keep it clean to be more inviting, dust settles on everything outdoors even more than indoors so frequently sweep the floor, walls, ceiling and wipe furniture. I don't want to sit on my porch with cobwebs and I don't want find dust all over my backside from sitting on my bench. Consider when and where the sun shoves on your porch and arrange seating so the sun can be either avoided or sought out as desired.
Porch envy here! I only have a small covered patio on the front of my house.
