Spring Front Porch Ideas
Spring front porch ideas for decorating using DIY spring crafts and greenery to create a beautiful front porch – capping off my spring porch ideas with a Cricut-made welcome sign.
Are you ready for a few Spring Front Porch ideas for inspiration?
Spring is that very welcome visitor who comes bearing flowers and sunny gifts to cheer you after you’ve been housebound one day too long.
Spring is also that houseguest that comes to visit and you hope continues to extend its stay; it is such a gentle buffer between the relatively harsher seasons of winter and summer.
Oh Spring, I am so glad you are here.
Which reminds me, don’t forget to grab your ‘to everything there is a season’ printable! It’s available to all subscribers in the Subscriber Benefits Library.
Since my front porch always seems to lead off the seasonal decorating in my home, it’s clearly time to get that done! I decided to channel ‘spring greens’ for my front porch decorating idea this year, primarily focusing on mosses and ferns.

I showed you my mossy wreath earlier this week; talk about an easy-peasy DIY spring craft! And it just really helps tie my whole spring front porch decor together and makes for such a beautiful front porch.
The two flower pots/urns on my porch echo the green and white in the frame with Scotch moss, Creeping Jenny and Summer White Sandwort. I am hopeful that these pots will transition well through the summer; I am looking forward to the moss and creeping jenny flowing over the side of the container.
‘Moss painting’ has been on my ‘I want to try that’ list for some time and really considered giving it a try this spring. In fact, I went so far as scooping up pieces of moss wherever I saw it, yes…even in public spaces.
So, get this picture in your head…me, walking out of our local Ulta store, spying some moss growing between the brick pavers outside of the store and… yes…squatting down right then and there, prying some of the moss out from between those pavers, and putting it in my empty tea carafe in the car. Yup…I did that. Can you say front porch decorating ideas for spring gone mad!
It would have been one thing to do that in front of, say a garden store. But to do it in front of Ulta, the makeup and beauty products store, is a completely different thing altogether.
But I had my cup full of moss and just needed to swing by the grocery store to gather one of the other ingredients for the moss paint. As I strolled through the aisles of the grocery store the buy the necessary yogurt I suddenly remembered…”Wait! I have this new Cricut! I wonder…”
So instead of going on regular moss scavenging missions, I merely cut my words out of fake ‘grass’ like you use for dioramas or model train layouts and glued the letters on an old piece of slate that I found at our local salvage store. Presto…I was done. Such an easy and helpful DIY spring craft.
And in case you are wondering, I planted my scavenged moss into an existing pot, so my efforts were not wasted.
I found these little moss-covered ‘rocks’ and tucked them into this lantern that sits on my porch year-round.
And what is a ‘spring front porch’ without the ubiquitous daffodils? They add just a little pop of color to make this such a pretty spring decorating idea.
I also keep some plants on the breezeway to the left of the front door.
These little scotch moss plants are the bee’s knees! I put 4 of them in a little galvanized container and they really brought a little spring to this area too.
And there you have it, my friends! My beautiful front porch is spring-ready!
I hope that my spring porch ideas have given you some inspiration towards your own beautiful front porch! How are you doing with your own Spring decorating?

Aw thanks RS! And I’m so glad to have you as a subscriber! Welcome my friend.
How pretty Lynn! I love the moss covered stones! I can’t wait to be able to plant some things myself, but it’s just not that time yet where I am. Your house is lovely!
Hey Nicki…hope Spring arrives soon in West Virginia. Think it’s here for good now in Southeastern NC. And aren’t those ‘stones’ just the bomb! I knew when I saw them that they needed o come home.
Thanks for swinging by my friend.
Hugs, LYnn
You are abundantly blessed with creativity. It is such fun to watch what you are doing next. Thank you very much for being willing to share and give. Just Beautiful
I have learned something new, moss painting! I love the color of moss. I think it is so pretty and it looks exactly like Pantone’s color of the year, “greenery”. Your wreath and your porch is so beautiful!
Thanks for swinging by my friend. Isn’t that moss painting so pretty! I may still give it a try some day…growing my own moss so I have a stash when I do decide to go for it. And I didn’t know about ‘greenery’! Thanks for the tip.
Have a great day my friend,
Lynn
Hi Lynn,
I love everything ‘moss’ and you have certainly mastered it beautifully! Your front door area is so beautiful and absolutely welcoming. I have to admit I am slightly jealous that you have plantings and flowers outside already. We still have snow on the ground here.
Oh, but you are heading south soon my friend! And I do love my front porch…will really miss it when we move! And moss is so easy to work with and makes such a lovely/simple statement.
Thanks for swinging by my friend.
Hugs, Lynn
You have such a pretty entry area, Lynn! I’m in love with all things moss lately, and I’ve been so tempted to grow my own. I would have loved to see you picking some up in front of Ulta! I would have done the same thing!!!
Thanks Robin, I do love my front porch…one of the things about my home that I will so miss when we move. And the moss thing is fun…such a simple way to bring spring everywhere.
Maybe we can go moss hunting together! Can you even imagine?! What a hoot.
Wishing you a great day my friend,
Hugs, Lynn
Spring is my favourite and I’m so ready and enjoying every bit of it! I could see myself sitting on your porch sipping on a coffee and just breathing in all of those fresh green scents that must be all around it! I love how you kept it so green and simple but still very unique! The moss look is so cute and haha, I had to laugh about you picking it up infront of the store… I always stop everywhere to pick up branches and my girls think I’m so embarrassing 😉 so I could see myself picking up moss as well 😉 Have a great Sunday, love your porch!
I think we must be very much alike Katrin. We’d never make much progress has we’d always be stopping to pick moss and sticks!
I do love my front porch…I gonna cry when we move.
Thanks for stopping by my friend.
Hugs, Lynn
Lynn, I’m so jealous of your gorgeous porch and entry; as well as all the green and real blooming flowers! I love all the moss. When we first moved to our previous house, we had so much shade in our yard, that we had moss growing everywhere. You would have had a field day in our yard!
I would have been in moss harvesting heaven for sure! And I do love my front porch…gonna miss it when we go. And just wait until the jasmine starts blooming…it’s really breathtaking.
Thanks for stopping by my friend.
Hugs, Lynn
This is inspirational! I’m ready to follow your lead and add some living plants to my porch & entryway. Though I do decorate for the holidays and different seasons, I’m ready to kick it up a notch. Thanks!
Hi Trish, thanks for the kind words. It really makes me feel happy to pull in the driveway and see all the Spring Love on the front porch. I’m glad I might have provided you a bit of inspiration.
Have a great day.
Hugs, Lynn
Loved your photos, you are getting me in the mood for spring:-)
Thanks Kathiey! Luckily spring does seem to have arrived for good here in North Carolina, well, the coastal part anyway. Hope it’s not too far away where you are!
Hugs, Lynn
Beautiful front porch! And I really like your use of moss. I’ve wanted to try “painting” with moss too, so if you ever tackle that let me know how it goes!
I will Liz…I’m still really intrigued by it. As I understand it, if you want to ‘paint’ on cement you need to harvest moss that is already growing on cement. You can’t use moss that is growing in dirt for painting on cement. We’ll see…hope to give it a whirl one day.
Hugs, Lynn
Your spring porch looks so pretty Lynn! What kind of vine do you have covering your porch? It’s gorgeous!
Hi Tara, it’s creeping fig. I do love it but it does take some tending…prune it a couple of times during the summer. Thanks for swinging by.
Hugs, Lynn
Lynn, I just love how you introduced Spring!! You make it sound exactly as it is!! Love all of your lovely mossy touches you have added to your pretty porch!
Thanks Sam, I am flat out digging moss right now…I guess figuratively and literally! And I’m not done…I have more plans for moss up my sleeves.
Appreciate you stopping by.
Hugs, Lynn
Beautiful space Lynn! I only wish we didn’t get more snow last night
Ugh, I’m sorry for you Ariel! I know snow is beautiful, but come March I’m sure you are ready to see the backside of it.Keep faith, spring is coming.
I just love all of it! That mossy look really makes your garden look stunning. I will have to try this too as soon as the weather permits.
I love your Mossy Spring front porch. Definitely welcoming and just gorgeous!
Thanks Ashley, I’m tickled with it too. I hope I can keep it through the summer.
So glad you popped by.
Lynn
I did post int he wrong place, so will reiterate, which my children say is not a word….. Beautiful, beautiful, I enjoy all your posts and work. God has blessed you abundantly with creativity, thank you so much for sharing
Aw Lori, you are so very kind and supportive. Your kind words mean the world to me, they keep me going. So thanks so much for taking the time to brighten my day.
I hope your day is beautiful!
Many hugs,Lynn
Bring on the green! I am craving this much green. It is snowing here as I type!
I hope your spring is starting to show itself!
