A stylish and comfy seating area is easy to create on your front porch. A cozy outdoor seating space by the side of your home, on a sidewalk landing, can maximize a porch space. Consider a wooden bench that runs along the walls of your home in a shaded spot for relaxed seating in the early evenings. If you don't have room near your front door or along the front part of your home, consider creating a sitting area outdoors by a tree in your front yard. A rounded bench that goes around the base of the tree in your front yard is perfect for this space. Add a pair of modern outdoor chairs to sit on either side of the bench. This setting will seat about four adults under the shade of the tree. If you do not have a porch or your porch isn't covered, you can be creative and design outdoor seating spaces along a fence that provides a wind break. A back porch is the best area for an outdoor seating area because you have some privacy. The porch itself can provide a solid ground for the furniture to sit on. If you have a covered porch or screened porch, you can also keep out the elements. When bringing home furniture for this type of an outdoor seating area, look for outdoor patio furniture like modern outdoor chairs. Decorate the porch with a theme and use outdoor pillows with matching motifs to bring the look together. Choosing furniture for a cozy outside seating area can be similar to selecting furniture for a cozy indoor seating, only the furniture needs to be weather resistant. Warm colors, curved lines, and snuggly outdoor pillows especially designed for the outdoors can be used to create that inviting feeling that will make guests want to sink in and stay. Minimize the amount of furniture in an outdoor seating area to create a relaxing retreat, but be attentive to the needs of the users of the area. Small tables or ottomans are often helpful to hold refreshments and reading material. When creating a cozy outdoor entertaining area, place the seating close together and facing toward one another to allow for conversation. Make sure there is enough space to comfortably move in and out of the seating. If you are designing a smaller space for personal use, place modern outdoor chairs and other seating among colorful flowers or other visually attractive elements of the outdoor seating area. Add warm touches with outdoor pillows in bright botanical prints for a lush outdoor getaway.
