The type and style of wood chimes that you choose may depend on the outdoor décor you have selected for your porch. Many homeowners select décor that will blend in well with nature; including wood furniture. Cedar and pine are two of the most commonly used woods for outdoor country living pieces. When selecting your wind chimes for your porch, consider selecting a set that will beautifully compliment your existing décor.
