28 Front Porch Planters for Every Style and Budget

A freshly painted front door and new doormat are the easiest curb appeal upgrades, but one of the smallest additions that makes a big impact on a front porch is planters. Two matching planters flanking a front door is a tried-and-true staging hack. And a cascade of planters down your front porch steps is the perfect way to welcome guests. We've rounded up the best, most stylish front porch planters for every budget, from Amazon buys under $50 to stunning ceramic planters that should be family heirlooms. Take a peek at our top picks below and treat yourself to a new front porch planter for summer.

Best Traditional Front Porch Planters

For classic, preppy style, you can’t go wrong with an urn silhouette or box planter. And for a natural take on traditional style, these red clay planters from Rejuvenation feature an earthy look that is so popular right now, but with a much more durable material for the elements. And if you’re going for a Nancy Meyers vibe, these chinoiserie planters from Frontgate are the epitome of coastal grandma style.

Best Modern Front Porch Planters

For midcentury modern lovers and those obsessed with minimal, clean lines, resin and cement — or cement composite — are some of the best materials for planters as they create a striking, sleek silhouette. We also love these wooden planters from World Market. The slim, horizontal slats are much more contemporary than traditional wooden planters. And the modular series is great for maximizing small porches.

Best Cottage-Style Front Porch Planters

Whimsical, a bit rustic, but still refined. Cottage-style planters are a great way to transform your front porch into a secret English garden or a quaint prairie homestead. Thrift stores are clutch for scoring vintage planters, but you can also find brand-new designs with faux patina online. And we love these wicker basket planters from Pottery Barn. A row of these with multi-colored flowers or a couple paired with some upcycled pewter planters would look so dreamy.

Best Mediterranean Front Porch Planters

For warm al fresco vibes, you can’t go wrong with timeless terra cotta. And that doesn’t always mean clay. These days, you can get the earthenware look with more durable materials, such as this cast stone concrete planter from Pottery Barn. And for a Mediterranean-inspired, high-low buy, these hand-painted Italian ceramic planters from Williams Sonoma are absolutely gorgeous and would pair perfectly with standard orange clay pots from your local gardening center or big box store.
