Sharing some easy patriotic front porch ideas to spruce up your porch for Memorial Day, 4th of July or Labor Day!
Welcome to our front porch, summer edition! With the summer holidays approaching, I wanted to add a touch of red, white and blue to our front porch. But I didn’t want to spend a fortune. I’m showing you how to easily create a patriotic front porch using some things you may already have on hand and just adding a few little seasonal accents.
And as always, I’ve linked everything so you can shop and re-create the look!
How to easily create a patriotic front porch
For the door
I already had a boxwood wreath on the door. So rather than get a whole new wreath, I just added some red, white and blue ribbon.

Linking my wreath and some red, white and blue ribbon below.

In the past, I’ve also done a door basket which looks really cute too! Click here to see my door basket.
Door Mat
You are not going to believe that I actually got both of these mats from Aldi!

I love the look of layering mats so I’m linking some ones I found and love!
Faux Plants

I had bought these faux hydrangeas back in March for our planter boxes. The quality is so amazing, they even feel real! The blue color is so beautiful for summer!
To fill your planter boxes, I like to take paper shopping bags and crumple them up and then put them in the box to add some height. Then I put in these faux ferns and then added in my faux hydrangeas.
I got these car flags from The Dollar Store which work perfectly for the planter boxes.

I’m linking some of the things I used for my planter boxes below so you can recreate the look.
And in just a few minutes with a few touches, the porch was transformed into festive Americana that can be left out all summer long!

May 13, 2025 at 9:11 amI have a wooden wreath that I put up end of may- summer in red white and blue. I also have a couple jars filled with layers of beans that I have painted in those colors and I usually put a few jars on my little table on the front porch. I should be taking those out next week!
