6 Unexpected Ways to Decorate Around Your Porch Mailbox
Do you have a porch mailbox?
Either way, we have a secret for you: The mailbox is often an overlooked yet essential feature of your home. Whether it’s a space-saving wall-mount mailbox, a timeless post-mount mailbox, or an ultra-modern secure mailbox option, it sets the tone for your entire front entryway.
But it’s not just about functionality – styling the area around your porch mailbox can elevate the overall aesthetic of your home’s unique curb appeal. Here are seven unexpected ways to decorate around your porch mailbox, transforming it easily into a stylish statement piece.
1. Add a Modern Mailbox Post to Anchor the Look
The right mailbox post is essential for framing your porch mailbox and enhancing your home's overall curb appeal. A modern mailbox post doesn't just support your mailbox; it complements your home’s individual style, adding a refined touch to your exterior.
Post & Porch’s mailbox posts are crafted from high-quality materials to ensure durability against the elements. Designed with function and style in mind, these posts offer a sleek, contemporary look that complements any post-mount mailbox or wall-mount mailbox.
Easy to install and built to last, they provide a sturdy foundation while enhancing your curb appeal. Whether you're updating an existing mailbox or installing a new one, these modern mailbox posts provide the perfect balance of chic aesthetics and long-term reliability.
Post & Porch TIP: For a unified look, choose a modern mailbox post that mirrors the sleek lines of your mailbox, creating a cohesive, stylish entryway. Also, go for colors that match your home!
2. Incorporate a Flower Bed or Front Porch Planters
One of the easiest ways to elevate your porch mailbox is by surrounding it with modern front porch planters – think lush greenery and vibrant blooms. Whether you choose tall, sleek planters or decorative pot bundles, the right flora can make your contemporary mailbox pop.
Opt for plants that complement the design of your modern mailbox, such as tall grasses or energetic flowers, for a welcoming feel. Post & Porch offers a variety of modern planters in different sizes and finishes, perfect for creating a stunning visual balance around your mailbox:
-
The Milard: Bold and angular, the Milard is a durable, contemporary planter redefining curb appeal and outdoor spaces with its striking silhouette. It comes in 2 sizes and 2 colors (black and beige), offering an eye-catching design, sparking conversation.
-
The Millcreek: Made from fiberstone, the Millcreek combines modern aesthetics with enduring craftsmanship. This sleek and chic planter elevates every outdoor space, is meticulously engineered for attention, and comes in 2 colors – black or beige.
-
The Heritage: Fusing up-to-trend design with practical functionality, the Heritage is crafted with a tall, sleek elegance that sets the tone for your home’s personality. Its durability matches its refined look perfectly, coming in 2 colors: black or beige.
-
The Holbrook: Combining an enhanced curb appeal design with functionality, the Holbrook houses your plants while blending seamlessly into any outdoor space. Its angular, weather-resistant construction comes in your choice of 2 colors: black or beige.
-

Post & Porch TIP: When decorating around your porch mailbox with planters, don’t forget to layer different heights and textures. Mixing tall, sleek planters with shorter, more compact ones creates depth and visual interest. For example, position a Milard or Heritage planter at the center, flanked by smaller planters like the Holbrook or Millcreek. Learn more in this blog.
3. Use Modern House Numbers for a Bold Statement
Mailbox numbers are often an afterthought, but they can play a significant role in boosting your porch mailbox's overall vibe and curb appeal. Go beyond the standard digits you see in big box stores and choose modern house numbers that reflect your home’s unique style.
Sleek, metallic, or bold house numbers make your mailbox stand out and are easy to read.
Post & Porch offers a variety of magnetic house numbers, which are perfect for adding a touch of sophistication to your modern mailbox. These numbers not only look great but also offer easy customization and installation with different color and font options to choose from.
Post & Porch TIP: To match your house numbers with your mailbox, consider the style and finish of both. If you have a modern mailbox with a matte black finish, you can choose house numbers in brushed metal to maintain a cohesive, sleek look while still providing contrast for visibility. For a post-mount mailbox with a metallic accent, opt for house numbers in a similar metallic finish for harmony.
4. Create a Cozy Seating Nook Nearby With a Planter Bench
Transform the area around your porch mailbox into a functional and inviting outdoor space by adding a cozy seating nook. A planter bench is a perfect solution, offering both seating and a place to display vibrant plants. Imagine sipping a cup of coffee, a New York Times bestseller in hand, while waiting for the mail and enjoying a stylishly comfortable setup.
The Solitude Planter Bench from Post & Porch combines sleek design with practicality. Its contemporary aesthetic complements any modern mailbox design, while the integrated planters allow you to add lush greenery, enhancing your curb appeal. Whether you place it next to a post-mount mailbox or a wall-mount mailbox, this bench brings a welcoming touch.
Post & Porch TIP: Choose a planter bench that aligns with your home's style. For a modern touch, opt for a sleek, angular bench like The Solitude, which pairs beautifully with contemporary mailboxes. This simple addition instantly makes your mailbox area feel charming.
5. Go for an Extra Large Mailbox with Custom Styling
For those who receive large packages frequently or want to make a bold statement, an extra-large mailbox is the perfect choice. These mailboxes not only offer ample space for larger deliveries but also serve as a striking design feature for your front porch or entryway.
The Large Malone post-mount mailbox from Post & Porch is an excellent option, combining size with sleek, modern styling. Its spacious design ensures that packages are safely stored, while its clean lines and contemporary finish make it a standout feature for great curb appeal.
For homeowners who prioritize security along with style, the Malone post-mount mailbox offers an optional locking mailbox feature. This added mechanism provides peace of mind by keeping your deliveries safe, especially if you frequently receive valuable packages.
Post & Porch TIP: When styling around your porch mailbox, balance the size of the Malone with complementary elements like modern planters or minimalist landscaping. The larger mailbox will stand out, so ensure the surrounding decor is cohesive and doesn’t compete with it.
6. Add a Seasonal Touch to Your Curb Appeal with Decor
One of the easiest ways to refresh the area around your porch mailbox is by adding seasonal decor that enhances your curb appeal. In spring and summer, go for light, airy accents like a vibrant wreath, colorful ribbons, or hanging lanterns that evoke a welcoming vibe.
As fall rolls in, embrace the season with warm tones – add small pumpkins, rustic garlands, or a cozy fall-themed welcome mat to make the space feel ultra-inviting. For winter, string lights or a festive wreath can bring a touch of holiday warmth to your porch mailbox area.
Post & Porch TIP: When decorating for the seasons, make sure your decor complements the style of your modern mailbox. Keep the accents simple and tasteful – this will maintain the focus on your mailbox while adding seasonal charm. And don’t forget about functionality: Opt for weather-resistant items to ensure your seasonal touches last all throughout the season!
