Modern Rocking Chairs for the Front Porch

Last year we took our front porch from a baby blue, awkwardly sized eyesore to something slightly more updated by simply adding new deck boards and making it larger. This year we've taken one extra step towards making this porch a space we love with the addition of two modern rocking chairs from Article!Here is what the porch originally looked like...See what I mean about the baby blue? And the size was awkward because it didn't go to the edge of the brick on the right, plus the giant bushes were really not doing anything for us!Also, the lighting, house number and mailbox all got swapped because I just could not live with those any longer.A good improvement, for sure, but I had to take it a step further and paint the window frame, and then bring in some furniture to fill the space since we do like to sit out here!We still have plans to make some changes out here, but for now, having the Eleya rocking chairs from Article has made a HUGE difference! See what I mean?Front porch with red brick, black window trim, modern Eleya white and grey rocking chairs from Article, Tress white washed trays under chairs and two large white washed pots on either side with fiddle leaf fig trees.Front porch with red brick, black window trim, modern Eleya white and grey rocking chairs from Article, Tress white washed trays under chairs and two large white washed pot with fiddle leaf fig trees.We also added two Tress white washed trays under the rocking chairs to keep things like extra blankets, pillows, or any other little things we might need up here but don't necessarily want to leave out. Because this porch is partially covered, we don't need to worry too much about these getting wet (they're not meant to be outdoors, so if you don't have a covered area, keep them indoors).Eleya cera grey and white rocking chair from Article with Tress white washed tray, and cushion Belez in Yuma Mink Taupe.

Rocking chair is on a front porch with red brick and a white washed planter with a fiddle leaf fig to the right.View from above of modern white and grey rocking chair, white washed basket with light blue blanket inside.I think my favourite thing about these chairs is how high they are and how INSANELY COMFORTABLE! The cushions are supportive, but soft enough that I could totally nap on these.Front porch with red brick wall, black trimmed window and wood board floors. Two modern grey and white rocking chairs (Eleya Cera Grey and White from Article), white washed trays under the chairs, and an aluminum watering can.Modern white and grey rocking chair with a taupe pillow on it and white basket underneath. Porch has wood floors and red brick walls, there's a wreath hanging on the window and plants on a small table and on the floor.I did also toss some Belez Yuma Mink Taupe pillows on the chairs, but those will likely be put indoors because they're too pretty, and I don't want them to get damp from the rain or humidity in the Summer.Tress white washed tray and Belez yuma mink taupe cushions from Article sitting on a front porch. Pillows are inside the basket and next to them is an aluminum watering can and a white washed flower pot.Overall, We're so much happier with this front porch now, and super excited we get to use this space as the weather gets warmer and warmer!Thanks so much to Article for sponsoring this post! I am so thrilled with the pieces we got, and truly love them!Now you can go check out a few more outdoor spaces that have been made over with Article pieces, care of my friends from the Modern Handmade Home Series!
