Screened Porch Ideas

About this collection

Screened Porch Ideas, explained.

A screened porch is the room most families end up living in from May to October. These designs show screens done well: black mesh that disappears, cathedral ceilings with fans, fireplaces for the shoulder seasons and swing beds for naps.

Frame the screens in the same colour as the house trim and keep the sills low so the view stays open. Save the porches whose size and furniture match how you would use one.

What to look for as you browse

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
