In this post – I’ll share springtime decor inspiration to help you design a spring porch that feels as fresh and inviting as the season itself.
Spring is the perfect time to give your outdoor spaces a little TLC and transform them into a welcoming retreat. Whether your porch is large or small, a few thoughtful touches can breathe new life into it and make it the perfect spot to enjoy the season.
Our Bay Area home has a small porch, but I managed to make it shine! I incorporated traditional greenery with a stylish topiary along with faux hydrangeas for a touch of charm. To balance the look, I’ve included modern black accents, such as a sleek black bench, a matching topiary urn and a striped doormat. Black is one of my favorite accent colors to decorate with—even in spring!
Welcome Mat Refresh
Spring is the ideal time to refresh your doormat, especially if you live in a region with rainy or snowy winters. For our porch, I’m trading out our simple welcome mat for something more vibrant. Although it is too large for our space, I think this hydrangea mat from Grandin Road is absolutely gorgeous. It became the inspiration for my entire spring porch makeover!
These doormats from Amazon also feature hydrangeas. I bought the mat on the left for our porch. I love the pop of color that it adds to our entry.

Layering the door mat with a rug underneath makes more of an impact.
If you’re not the floral type, there are lots of other great options! This black patterned door mat below also caught my eye. It has a modern graphic pattern that’s perfect for spring and summer.
For a more traditional look, a literal welcome mat is always in style.
This crescent mat has a modern vibe in a fun pattern in a summery blue color.
Woven mats are also a great look. This one has an interesting black pattern woven into the design that makes it unique.
This ginger jar door mat is fun for spring and summer too!
I can’t resist a simple mat with white stripes for the warmer months. It would be a pretty addition to a coastal front porch.
Add Some Greenery
A spring porch refresh wouldn’t be complete without the addition of some greenery. One of the ways I like to add a touch of green is through the use of topiaries. Luckily, there are so many options for faux topiaries available.
Because of their compact size, topiaries work well in small spaces. Plus, they transition beautifully from spring to summer, so they can grace a porch throughout the warmer summer months. This faux topiary from Amazon is perfect for our porch. I “planted” it in a black urn from HomeGoods. It looks realistic enough. Plus, it won’t need watering!
Grandin Road has lots of fun faux topiary shapes and styles. I like the idea of adding lights to our topiary to keep our porch festive on spring and summer nights.
This smaller Easter-themed porch by Pottery Barn is gorgeous. The topiaries frame the entry and add a touch of springtime greenery to the entry. The arched shape of the porch and surrounding columns are a classic look.
Amazon has these realistic-looking topiaries. They are the perfect size for a porch and have great reviews. This front entry has a simple and elegant transitional style. The beautiful light fixtures can be found on Amazon here and at Lamps.com here.
Spring Door Decor
The focal point of any porch is the front door so it also deserves special attention. This spring, instead of a floral wreath, I placed plain faux boxwood wreath from HomeGoods on our door. It will look current throughout the spring and summer months.
This pretty preserved boxwood wreath from Amazon also has a nice clean, modern look.
For a more romantic look, the soft green and white colors of this wreath are pretty.
These lemon and magnolia leaf wreaths have a summery citrus vibe that is perfect here in California.
Add a Place to Sit
Even a small porch needs a spot to sit to make it welcoming. Our porch has just enough room for a bench.
If you don’t have enough room for a bench, a garden stool would work too. We’ve had this one for several years. I don’t remember where we got it but I love the blue and green colors.
This bright green garden stool adds a nice pop of color to the entry.
You can find a stool to match nearly every design style.
Accessorize With Spring Accents
To jazz up the black bench, I added this hydrangea pillow cover for a pop of coordinating color.
Above the bench, I’ve hung an adorable Adirondack basket from Ballard Designs. It’s filled with faux hydrangeas and lush greenery, creating a fresh and inviting vibe. The best part? The basket’s versatile design lets me easily swap out the greenery to match each season! I’ll be sharing a tutorial on how I made it soon!
Here’s another way to style the basket using all white florals. Also very pretty!
