While it’s sturdy enough to sit a while, it also makes a great place to decorate with some of your favorite pillows and plants.

7. Keep It Sustainable With Felt

A bright display of strong color is vibrant and can elevate your energy. While a small wreath of fresh blossoms is common, recreating the look with petite circles of felt gives the same effect, but it’s more sustainable and portable.

16. Add a Rustic Flair to Your Porch

The natural wood that this sign is crafted from looks wild, rustic and unpolished. It is perfect for creating a slightly unfinished look. This sign will not make your porch look sloppy or rushed but it will also not make it look too polished and sleek. It is the perfect addition to a shabby chic aesthetic.

17. Radiate Freshness from a Watering Can

No matter the height of your surface or table, it can benefit from a display of delightful blooms in an old watering can. The tarnished surface of this watering can just speak to how reliable it is, how it has stood the test of time. Change up the types of plants you use in this container to keep up with the seasons. Use seasonal blooms, and match the natural color to the rest of your decor.

18. Give Distressed Wood a New Life

22. Say Hello to Spring in a Loud Way

While it can be charming to proclaim a greeting on a big board that leans against a wall, a version you can suspend has its own set of benefits.

Recycled boot planters are a quirky detail for a one-of-a-kind porch.

29. House Number Flower Pot Decoration

Home numbers appear printed on mailboxes and often nailed beside doors.

Numbered pots are an artistic way of identifying your house and making it stand out from the neighbors’.

30. DIY Milk Can Patio Table

Centuries ago, large metal cans with tapered tops and handles were designed to safely transport milk by railway.

32. Wagon Board and Metal Bucket Planter

The allure of the wagon board is its rugged individuality. No two wagon boards are exactly alike, and their irregular texture gives your decoration an authentic vibe.

33. Floral Spring Planter with Bird Nest

Turn a regular planter into a creative miniature environment that embodies the beauty of spring.

34. Springy DIY Upcycled Drawer Planters

Spring cleaning. Downsizing. Minimalism. Whatever you call your urge to purge, it likely puts a lot of your old drawers out of a job.

A shallow drawer can hold at least four miniature flower pots, and the homey appeal of indoor-turned-outdoor furniture is irresistible.

35. Welcome Sign with Mason Jar Flower Vase

No one is immune to the charms of the classic Mason jar. The iconic glass container has been upcycled into decorations, crafts, wedding favors, etc. You can use it to fashion an eye-catching 3D sign for your front door.

38. Flower and Branch Milk Can Decoration

The milk can, also called a milk churn, earns a place on your porch with its interesting shape and retro appearance. Offset the heavy duty profile of the can by filling it with delicate branches and sprigs of flowers. The milk can is the perfect place to house branches because it’s deep yet narrow enough to create a bouquet-like arrangement.

39. DIY Hanging Gutter Planters Project

Repurpose unused rain gutters into cute planting shelves for herbs and small flowers. They are lightweight, so you can build a multi-tiered vertical display that is compact enough to fit your porch.

From castles to cottages, we’ve always loved the way flowers twist and climb up manmade structures. Recreate this timeless, romantic vision with a vintage window frame, usually made of iron and wood. Mount it on the wall as art. Loop your blossoms through the curling metal bars to bring it to life. This is a whimsical way to display flowers.

43. DIY Grass Shadow Box House Number

A shadowbox is a DIY-able display case that is often used to show off photographs and keepsakes.

Then nail your numbers on top of the grass.

44. Flower and Branch Planters for Spring

Small, compact flower pots are the norm. But tall branches threaded with tiny blossoms make for a more dramatic spring front porch. Their graceful silhouettes frame the door elegantly. You can play around with different planter and flower sizes to design a stylish assemblage of varying heights. Grasses and regular flowers complete the stunning effect.

45. Easy Fruit Crate Porch Décor Idea for Spring

49. Lanterns, Chalkboard, and Antique Glass Porchscape

A multimedia project will make your porch stand out this spring. Scribble a spring-worthy message on a small chalkboard. Continue the vintage vibe by adding old lanterns with candles. Branches full of flowers take on an old-fashioned flair when balanced in antique glasses. Many different elements come together in this quaint little scene.

50. Giant Clay Spring Flower Planter

This subtle, adorable display is sure to put you in the Easter spirit.

52. Shabby Chic Easter or Spring Planters

Imperfections aren’t always a bad thing. Faded paint, patches of rust, and dented metal have character that sparkly new stuff doesn’t.

So don’t be afraid to relocate some plants (and even a few Easter eggs!) into that scrappy old bucket or that half-rusted container.

53. Easy Grapevine and Flower Vase Display

This project is a simple way to try something new with your vases this spring. Choose a glass container with a wide mouth. A plethora of flowers in vivid spring colors is a must.

54. Antique Milk Can Planter Decoration

The rusty old milk is a vintage decorator’s dream. This time, don’t repaint it. Let its faded color enhance the beauty of the flowers and leaves inside it.

55. DIY Monogram Spring Grapevine Wreath

Paint your pots in a springy style–polka dots and pastels are perfect. Adorn the bottom bot with your house number, and the display is both fun and functional.
