Make your screened porch glow with these bright ideas!
A screened-in porch is a great place to be when it is daytime, when it is filled with ample natural light. After all, screened porches and sunrooms are there to bring the outdoors indoors. However, when it gets dark, you don’t have to end your time there. You can enjoy it into the evening with these lighting ideas for screened porches below.
Bright Ideas for Your Screened-In Porch
Ceiling Fans
Air circulation is very important for a comfortable outdoor living space. Hot air can become stagnant in a screened porch or sunroom, so a ceiling fan is the perfect way to get the air moving again. You will feel a lot cooler afterward! Plus, you’ll have overhead lighting!
Chandeliers
Chandeliers are another option that provides excellent overhead lighting and an artistic touch. Chandeliers come in every form imaginable, so it will not be difficult to find one that suits your space. They can provide overhead lighting for the entire room or over one particular zone.
Recessed Lights
Recessed lights are great for general overhead lighting or for lighting specific areas. In a screened porch, you are likely to use them for general lighting purposes. As they stay out of the way, they preserve your screened-in porch’s ceiling height. You can pair recessed lights with chandeliers, ceiling fans, or our next option.
String Lights
String lights are not just for kids’ rooms or college dorms. They are beautiful lighting features that give any room ambiance. It is a great way to add overhead lighting that isn’t overbearing and gives the room a cozy mood.
Wall Sconces
Wall sconces are a fancy but effective way to add lighting around the room. They can be minimalist or decorative, flanking doors or set between windows. All of these lighting ideas for screened porches must be outdoor-grade.
Floor and Table Lamps
Like indoor lighting design, outdoor enclosures can layer lighting fixtures for overhead, zone, and task lighting. Outdoor floor and table lamps will make your screened enclosure feel like a luxury space with its indoor feel.
