Introduction

Decorating your front porch is a great way to welcome your guests into your home. It can be easy to get stuck in a rut when it comes to decorating your porch, though. If you’re tired of just throwing plants or flowers out there without much thought, then consider using planter boxes. Not only will they add some color and style to your front porch but they’ll also help separate the sidewalk from the front of your house. Plus, when done correctly, planter boxes can elevate an otherwise boring surface into something beautiful!

1. Use Planter Boxes to Separate the Front of Your House From the Sidewalk

The first way to use planter boxes is to decorate the front of your house. This can be done by installing planter boxes directly in front of the foundation, or it can be done by placing them at each side of your home. This will not only make your home look more attractive but also help separate it from the sidewalk, making it clear where one ends and another begins.

When planting plants in these planter boxes, you should make sure that they are securely fastened so they do not fall out when there is heavy rain or windy weather conditions. You can also choose plants that are not easily damaged by strong winds and heavy rains so that they will still look good even after several months outdoors

2. Position Planter Boxes Underneath Windows to Frame Them

• Position Planter Boxes Underneath Windows to Frame Them

You can use planter boxes to create a border around your window, or position them under the windows to frame them and give them more prominence. You may also want greater privacy on your porch, which is where planters come in handy again. If you have a small porch space or if you’d rather not block out all of your yard view with large windows, you can use small planters as an alternative solution for providing some privacy while still showing off the natural scenery outside of your home.

3. Elevate your Porch with a Row of Planter Boxes

Adding height to your porch can make it more elegant, especially if you choose a planter box with a unique shape. The tall planter boxes shown here have an interesting shape that gives the porch a more formal look and feel.

In addition to adding height, using planter boxes also gives you more flexibility when choosing what type of plants to grow on your porch. You can use taller flowering plants in them or even add small trees for an extra touch of elegance!

4. Create Border Plantings With Planter Boxes

If you want to add some color and character to the front of your home, consider placing a border around it. This can be done using planter boxes for a variety of plants and flowers that will flourish in this environment.

Creating an outdoor garden is one way to add value to your home without having to spend much money or time. You can do this by planting different types of flowers, shrubs and trees that will attract birds and butterflies when they bloom during spring/summertime. If you live in an area where winters are harsh then consider planting evergreen shrubs such as lilac bushes which provide more colour during winter months than most other types

5. Fill Your Planter Boxes with Flowers, Plants, and Shrubs in the Spring and Summer, and Evergreens in the Fall and Winter

In the spring and summer, your planter boxes will be filled with blooming flowers, plants, and shrubs. In the fall and winter, you can use them to display evergreen plants that thrive in cooler temperatures.

You should choose seasonal plants that are appropriate for your climate zone. If you live in an area where temperatures drop below freezing during the winter months (below 20 degrees Fahrenheit), it’s best not to plant annuals because they’ll die when frost hits the ground. Instead, opt for perennial varieties like daylilies or hostas because they’re hardy enough to survive even harsh winters. Similarly, if it gets really hot where you live during summertime (above 95 degrees Fahrenheit), then try growing shade-loving perennials like impatiens or ferns instead of sun-loving annuals such as marigolds or petunias—they won’t burn up from being exposed directly under sunlight!
