Getaway at Home

Add Cozy Elements:

•Cotton throws

• Pillows & seat cushions

• Napkins & tablecloths

• Fabric panels

Spring and summer encourage us to get outside, and porches allow us to enjoy life outdoors in a comfortable and convenient way.

Designer Sarah Hayes used her love of vintage style and cottage charm to create the perfect outdoor spot to enjoy a lazy afternoon or host a meal with family and friends. Here, she shares a treasure trove of advice on how to give your own porch a makeover.

SET THE TONE

Choosing your palette and theme comprises the first step of your refresh. However, keep in mind that because your porch is an entertaining space, you'll want to make sure your décor is able to accommodate different looks throughout the year.
