Transform your patio into a colorful summer front porch inspired by bright tropical vibes with flamingos, a DIY Colorful Vertical Herb Garden, and a fun summer wreath.

Can't go anywhere this summer? Don't worry, you can bring the tropical vacation vibes to you with this bright and colorful summer front porch!
During the summer one of my favorite places to hang out is my front porch. It's the perfect spot to sit and catch up with friends over an ice-cold beverage while watching the kids play outside.
Since I can't go on a tropical vacation this year I decided to bring the tropics to my front door. Inspired by the bright and bold colors of Palm Springs I gave my front porch a quick and easy makeover with colorful throw pillows, a new tropical summer wreath, and a colorful vertical herb garden.
I added colorful DIY painted trays and a bright and fun bar cart to ensure there are plenty of drinks to help us cool off in the hot summer months.
I started by creating a fun and whimsical summer wreath to greet my friends. I used a Faux Tropical Palm Garland, Polyester Palm Leaves, and Metallic Gold Tropical Leaves to create this large tropical-inspired wreath.
A new Home Door Mat flanked with freshly potted greenery and flowers anchors the front door space.
I added some colorful throw pillows to the chairs on my porch and those bright colors inspired me to add a few more bold pops of color to my front porch decor.
I painted the DIY Unfinished Wood Rustic Chevron Tray with bright colors from the tropical assorted colors acrylic paint set. This tray is perfect for holding pitchers of water, colorful paper plates and glasses for when guests stop by for a visit.
I love having an outdoor bar cart where I can keep everything I'll need to entertain at a moment's notice. I added a few palm leaves to my DIY Metallic Bar Cart and filled it with vases of fresh flowers, pineapple decorations and a textured teal glass vase with citronella candles to keep the bugs away.
I am completely smitten with the whimsical Flamingo Jar Glasses with Lids and Straws and anticipate that we will be using these all summer long. Simply add them to your bar cart where guests can grab one and fill it up with their favorite summer beverage.
The Flamingo Party Paper Platters are perfect for holding fresh fruit and snacks for those impromptu porch visits.
One of my favorite elements to my colorful summer porch is the DIY Colorful Vertical Herb Garden I created. I love the idea of having fresh flowers and herbs to brighten up my porch, and it's super functional too. This little garden is also great for small spaces, like a porch, and can be customized with whatever herbs or flowers you prefer.
Chances are you'll be throwing lots of porch parties this summer with your new bright and colorful summer front porch! Don't forget to check out the DIY tutorial for the Tropical Summer Wreath and Colorful Vertical Herb Garden to help brighten up your front porch this summer.
