Front Porch Designs Illustrator

We are very appreciative that you found Volume I of creative front porch designs. Mary and

I know how much a well designed front porch can add both appeal and value to your home.

Conveying that to someone is difficult to do; however, we believe our Front Porch Designs

Illustrator can help you visualize just how much value a front porch can have on your home.

By using a ranch style home (Volume I) and two story home (with both brick and clad

siding—Volume II) we are confident you will be able to not only visualize how a porch might

appear on your home but also give you additional ideas for materials, landscaping, and

walkways.

In addition, we also include different decorating and furnishing ideas to give you even more

fun things to consider. Most importantly, you can show your local contractor one of the

porches depicted in our book to build on your home!

May you be inspired by our ideas.

Our best...Dave & Mary

How To Use This Porch Illustrator

Each set of drawings consists of a porch design along with

landscaping, walkway, and amenity options. We also included a

Porch Style Identifier you can reference if you have questions.

Look closely as we may have included many subtle changes that

may not be readily apparent, but add to the overall appeal of the

home and porch!

Pictured above are two almost identical style porches with the exception of the

columns (left are square; right are round) and the arched trim above the steps.

Subtle changes can change the overall appearance of a porch.

R13-02B-v1

Here you see this welcoming ranch style home with a

centered porch covered by a pitched roof. The porch and

steps are done in wood flooring which creates a warm

feeling.


38



R13-02B-v2

Notice the smart-looking random ashlar walkway and cast

bed edging that graces the porch landscaping. The square

columns have recessed faces and the balusters are colonial-

style.


39



R13-02B-v4

This classic front porch is large enough for a small seating section

on both ends. The left end includes a pretty bench but a porch

swing would work equally well.

R7-03B-v1

Now you see this inviting ranch home with an off-centered

porch covered by a pergola style roof. Best of both

worlds: shade and sun! This porch layout (where the front

door is to the side) allows for one larger seating area.

Nice spot for reading a great book and relaxing on the

porch swing.


80



R7-03B-v2

Notice the partially raised porch floor (random ashlar) has a double step-

up to the front door. The brick banding on the porch steps complements

this home's brick foundation.


81



R7-03B-v4

This porch is open style (no railings). The attractive square porch columns are on

slightly larger square bases. This porch is nicely landscaped with mature

foundation plantings that are outlined by cast bed edging. A simple ashlar

walkway completes the front of this home.

This classic ranch style home design has a small

covered stoop with a gable roof and arched trim on

either side of the front door. A spacious outdoor

foyer has been created for relaxing or dining and is

complemented by built-in planters the full length of

the house.


99



R6-03D-v2

The patio-style floor, steps and walkway are

done in random ashlar. Notice how the brick

banding on the steps and planters not only adds

color but pulls this outdoor living area together

with the home.
