thanks for your comment. You can't tell by looking at the picture but the walkway actually goes in front of the holly and it is not taking up any walk space. The angle makes the holly seem more invasive than it is in reality. There aren't evergreens to the right-that is coleus and sweet potato vine in a planter where the walkway makes a turn up the stairs.

Eggplant, it compliments red and the greens of the foliage.

I love a "Hello Neighbor" porch! ;o)

I can see a pretty shade of yellow, medium blues or black. Love the idea of a few colorful toss pillows (maybe made of sunbrella fabric?) on the bench as well as a couple of pots of flowers. Good luck!

I like the idea of a black bench and the addition of colorful pillows as mentioned by Davin. These pinwheels would compliment all of your plantings and are fun to boot. If you're inclined, an outdoor rug under the bench would be a nice touch as well.

I love all of your ideas but now am rethinking my whole color scheme! I just added a new picture and would love to hear your input. thanks!

LOVE the pillows!!

Hi Angela, I think your home's front porch area is gorgeous just the way it is! What colour did you end up with and can you post a photo?

Black

I would say black! Not sure what color it is now but looks black & looks adorable!!
