If you live in a tiny home, it's nice to have a bit of outdoor living space that you can escape to when you're feeling cramped. Covered front porches are one of the best kinds of outdoor living spaces you can have!
They make a great place to catch up with a friend, unwind after a stressful day, or enjoy a leisurely breakfast on a weekend morning. On the superficial side, they also add plenty of visual interest and appeal!
