Inspiration
Here are a couple of parade homes featuring large front porch planters and ways to use them on your porch.
Utilize a cute corner and add a planter with a cute tall plant. This is great if your front door doesn’t directly face the street. This home shows too that planters don’t always have to come in pairs, but can be asymmetrical.
This home also shows an asymmetrical approach to displaying planters on a porch. If there isn’t room on one side of the front door for a large porch planter, add one on the side of the porch that has more room.
Here is a classic example of adding a pair of planters to a front door. This works well for a symmetrical and balanced porch. This front door has a side panel window on each side, it just makes sense that there are two planters on this home.
