Porch sets must stand up to the elements, such as mildew, rust or mold which could damage even a well-designed outdoor patio set over time.
With some creative thought and smart shopping, your porch can become an inviting retreat. Here are a few ideas to get your started.
1. Loveseats and Chairs
No matter the size or layout of your porch, creating the ideal seating arrangement with patio furniture sets is easy. From comfy loveseats with easy cleaning features and versatile uses for everyday lounge time or movie nights to formal sets featuring chairs that match the color scheme of your home and feature matching tables – Sears has an extensive range of patio chair sets sure to fit into any setting perfectly!
When decorating a small front porch, try opting for a cozy outdoor seating set featuring two matching chairs and an ottoman to maintain the scale of your area without overshadowing it. A neutral color palette allows upholstered pieces to stand out against wood accents; adding soft throw pillows or simple greenery adds warmth and coziness.
For an upscale arrangement, consider an outdoor sofa. Unlike rocking chairs that typically make up front porch sets, this comfortable seating solution allows guests to linger, with ample room for relaxing and socializing. Select a set with a table that can serve coffee or drinks – an excellent way to take in both scenery and beverage in style!
If your porch is expansive, opt for a modular porch sectional that can easily adapt to accommodate any gathering. This versatile patio furniture set comprises a corner sofa, two armless chairs, and an ottoman – the latter can also serve as additional seating or footrest – made with weather-resistant fabric that resists staining, mildew growth, chlorine contamination, and fade fading for lasting use in all conditions.
For an updated yet still architecturally appropriate porch set, choose a contemporary porch set featuring sleek lines and sleek silhouettes. This set comes complete with a modular outdoor couch, two armless chairs, an ottoman adorned with durable and weather-resistant sunbrella fabric upholstery, matching cushions available in different colors and patterns for extra flair, plus convenient storage space under each seat.
2. Two Seating Areas
Long porches and patios require two seating areas for guests to interact, creating two social gathering spots for socialization. One approach is to arrange a loveseat and chair tight together at one end of the space, with another pair arranged more loosely at another – providing both quiet reading space and room for entertainment! This arrangement ensures maximum value from both ends.
If you prefer seclusion, try a poly porch glider set with gliding footrests and side tables for casual styling and durability with Sunbrella fabrics for the optimal look and feel. Or opt for an intimate picnic table set for summer afternoon tea parties and drinks between friends.
3. Four Chairs in a Circle
If you prefer dining outdoors with larger groups, a round outdoor table set can make an excellent centerpiece for open-air dining from dawn to dusk. Plus, its smaller footprint makes it suitable for use even in smaller spaces!
No matter the setting for your outdoor entertaining needs, four-piece porch sets offer great deals to be found. Snag one from Houe with its 59″ round table and four award-winning click chairs for an ideal minimalist aesthetic or go for Novogratz’s sleek blue metal set to add some personality.
If you prefer something more elegant, an East Oak Acacia Porch Set with Loveseat and Two Chairs from Target will look elegant against any backdrop and is currently 43% off. Or for casual classic feel try Target’s Brookfield Place Conversation Set that features wicker ottoman coffee table and club chair (currently 56% off).
4. Directoire Collection
Directoire style furniture exudes subtle elegance. As part of its transitional nature between Louis XVI and Empire styles, this transitional period mirrors France’s revolutionary spirit while being less lavish or elaborate than previous pieces and fitting in well with contemporary pieces.
