Upload a photo of your house front and see the porch you have in a new light: new colors for the posts, rails and trim, a new front door color, or a whole new look for the front. Free in your browser, with no sign-up.
One photo of the front of your house in, two options on that photo out.
Take one straight-on daylight photo of the front of the house with the whole porch in view, or use one you already have.
Paint keeps everything and changes colors. A whole new look restyles the front in one style. Add a short note, such as "white posts and a black door", to steer either one.
HomeGPT draws two options on your photo and lists every change with its paint or material, a rough quantity and a typical local price.
HomeGPT works one job at a time, and each job joined only after it passed blind tests on real photos. Two of them change how a porch looks.
New colors for the walls and the trim, each a real paint with its name and code, and for the front door when it shows in the photo. Porch posts, rails and fascia are repainted when the design lists them with the trim. Nothing is rebuilt: the roof, the windows and the porch keep their shape.
Open the paint visualizerOne style for the whole front: modern farmhouse, coastal or Scandinavian. It restyles the walls, the trim, the finish of the front door, the wall lights and the front planting. The porch, bay windows, chimneys and garage stay, and so does the roof.

Suits: Colonials, farmhouses and most painted siding
Soft white on the posts, rails and fascia makes the porch read as one clean frame, and a deep navy door gives it a center without shouting.

A clean bright white sharpens turned posts and railings, and a deep red door is the classic welcome on a cool-colored house.

A warm white sits comfortably against brick and stone, and a deep blue-green door ties the porch to the yard in front of it.

White posts and rails with a true black door is high contrast and hard to get wrong. It suits black light fixtures and house numbers.

Soft black on the posts and rails lets them recede so the door does the talking, and a muted teal door is cheerful without being loud.
Try these colors on my porchThe paint job also proposes wall colors. To see only the porch trim and the door change, untick the walls on the result and redraw with only your picks. Paint names, codes and swatches are as published by Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams; HomeGPT is not affiliated with or endorsed by either brand. Screen colors are approximate, so confirm with samples. For whole-house combinations, see the house color visualizer.
HomeGPT redraws finishes, not structure. That keeps every option one you could actually do to the house in the photo, and it means these stay as they are:
So it will not add a porch, extend or enclose one, swap its columns or furnish it. Every design comes with a list of what is kept; compare the picture with your photo, because an AI picture can still alter a detail it was asked to leave. For a new or rebuilt porch, take the design you like to a designer or builder as a starting point.
Most of what makes a porch look better is finish, light and planting. These are the changes worth trying on your photo first.
The cheapest change with the most effect. Pick one strong color that the rest of the front does not use, in a satin or semi-gloss finish.
Posts, rails, fascia and the porch ceiling trim read as one frame when they share a color. White is the classic; black or a dark bronze makes them recede.
A pair of wall lights at door height, or one fixture over it, does more for a porch at night than floodlights. Have new wiring done by an electrician.
Two matching pots or a low bed either side of the steps anchors the porch to the yard. Keep plants below the railing so the porch stays visible.
House numbers, the mailbox, the door handle and the light fixtures in one metal finish make an old porch look cared for at little cost.
Rotten post bases, loose rails and cracked steps come first. Paint and planting over a repair that is still needed is money spent twice.
