No. 17 Porches & Sunrooms · Modern
Lakefront Screened Porch with Swing Bed
Featuring natural timber decking and a wood ceiling, this screened porch includes a rope-hung swing bed, potted succulents, and floor-to-ceiling black screens opening to a lake view.
Design notes
Modern design is about restraint: clean geometry, a tight material palette and details that disappear into the architecture. Look for long straight edges, large-format paving, flush transitions between inside and out, and planting kept architectural — hedges, grasses and one or two specimen trees.
What to look for
- Depth — eight feet for chairs, ten or more for a table or a swing
- How the steps and railings meet the walk and the yard
- Ceiling: height, material and whether a fan or lights are built in
