If you’ve been looking for house plans and design ideas that include a porch, you’ll love this picture. The new red brick house has a porch spanning the entire front… and it’s beautiful. The porch is supported by white columns, and all the trim on the windows and door match the columns.

To take this design further of course, the porch has been outfitted with beautiful matching white furniture. There are rocking chairs placed in pairs with white flower pots between them. And there’s even a brick flower bed running the full length in front of the porch. You can see the new flower blooms in that flower bed, as well as the lush green lawn and water sprinklers in action. So in addition to getting house design ideas from this picture, you might also be inspired by the landscaping ideas too.
