Meghan Markle’s porch has a ‘simplistic elegance’ with a rare ‘evergreen appeal,’ designers say

Published

In the last week, American Riviera Orchard, Meghan Markle’s new lifestyle brand, has emerged as one of the most talked-about launches of the year. As the world preoccupies itself with exactly what the Duchess’s new brand involves, we find ourselves returning to the same footage of her Montecito abode – most specifically, her porch and entrance space

In the short trailer, originally released on Instagram, Markle offers a glimpse of her home, starting with the farmhouse kitchen before moving to the expansive front porch area. In true California style, the space celebrates indoor/outdoor living with an uncomplicated, natural color palette and a wide door that opens to the stone porch area.

The neutrals (specifically the white paint, black door frame, and stone exterior) allow the home’s rustic architectural features to take center stage – but this decorating technique is just as powerful in smaller homes beyond the Golden State

Their charm lies in their simplistic elegance and versatility in styling. The white paint has a luminary effect, illuminating the porch, thereby creating an inviting aura. In contrast, the black door stands out, its appeal magnified by different types of hardware and accent pieces

The benefits of a neutral color scheme need no long introduction, and their power (in every room) is rarely debated. However, no space showcases their beauty quite as well as our porches and entrance spaces – where making the right first impression counts.

‘Combining a white-painted entrance area with a black door has several benefits, starting with its everlasting aesthetic. This classic combination is always in vogue, transcending fleeting design trends,’ Kropovinsky comments

The Sussex’s home boats’ architectural assets may differ from our own, but we can still learn from their entryway color ideas. No matter the style of our home, we can still paint our entrance space white before creating a juxtaposition with the front door, much like the space below

As hinted, the Sussex’ kept their styling to a minimum, with only a pendant lantern to note. However, this uncomplicated look pairs perfectly with their subtle design choices and, again, allows the home’s architecture to do most of the talking.

‘Adequate lighting enhances the welcoming appeal of your porch. In your own home, options abound, from whimsical string lights and traditional lanterns to romantic candles,’ Kropovinsky notes. We’re starting with this Sussex-ins
