Creating an Inviting Porch
Ocean breeze and summer warmth create the perfect porch environment with daydreams and sweet dreams, lemonade and biscuit cookies. A front porch allows you to wash away the stress… Let us help you create one you’ll never want to leave or can’t wait to get home to.
You can hear the creak of a rocking chair or the sweet smell of flowers in bloom. Maybe that’s why even in this “connected era”; we still love that heart warming, cozy, front porch. Grand or modest, porches serve as a place to gather for family and friends or just to relax in quite time. We can help you outfit yours as the most welcoming, relaxing, personal space.
To make your covered porch as perfect as possible use the many options in weather-resistant furniture, fabrics and area rugs to get all the comforts of the indoor spaces outside. Because porches are more sheltered from the elements than a deck, it’s OK to accessorize them with items you wouldn’t normally use outside. Overstuffed pillows and decorative
candles and accessories make for a uniquely you porch without too much effort or expense.
Accessorizing Furniture: Make it easy to lounge by adding end tables by each seating area and softening the rockers, benches and other seats with throw pillows and cushions. Stripes and floras, plaids and prints liven up your space with a common color palette to tie it all together. Creating an inviting space to sit and relax.
Warmth: Outdoor heaters are a great investment, and they may buy many additional evenings that would otherwise be too chilly to enjoy.
Top to Bottom: Add an outdoor rug for barefoot comfort. Paint ceilings a light color like off white or a pastel blue to create an uplifting sense of larger space.
Sound Mask your Space: Relax, refresh and rejuvenate with the soothing sound of a burbling fountain. The variety of designs-from floor size to tabletop-means one will fit your porch and create calm.
Privacy: Block unwanted views with curtains and screens. Tall potted plants, or a trellis with a climbing vine also work well.
Light: Candles while you’re using your porch to add evening romance but strings of twinkle lights also add mood without the hassle or concerns of open flames or try battery operated candles work well. Installing dimmable recessed lights overhead provides flexibility. Garden lights connect porch to yard and invite twilight strolls.
