The Editors’ Cut: 13 Bright Ideas for Curb Appeal, Shock of Color Edition

May 2, 2025

Welcome to The Editors’ Cut, our monthly newsletter dedicated to all things beautiful and useful for the garden, patio, porch, and terrace. Recently, we’ve been noting interiors that sing with color—and not in a blah, matchy-matchy way. The palettes are bold, intense, and anything-goes. Why not bring that daring to your front door, we say! Here, we’ve collected a rainbow’s worth of ideas for the porch, stoop, or doorstep. Feel free to add just one of these elements if you want to dip a toe in the trend—or all of it for maximalist curb appeal. —The Gardenista Editors

Ferm Living Desert Lounge Chair

This Gardenista favorite is available in a host of colorways, but we are especially smitten with this pairing of a Poppy Red powder-coated frame with a Sand-colored sling seat (made from \100 percent post-consumer recycled plastic). Shop now.

Neighbor Terra Side Table
