Exterior porch columns, too often, are seen as suitable only for classic and traditional homes. But not only are there strikingly modern designs, but you can even modernize existing columns. Add pedestals for a classic modern accent. If you have wooden or painted columns, switch up the color. Dark colors are perfect for modern; even bright and unexpected colors can be suitable. Another thing you can do to add to the modern allure is by adding sleek decorative touches to your porch. That includes modern porch swings, plants, and more. My final option is protective, modern wraps. The benefit is that you’re protecting the columns, along with adding a bit of stylish decor.
