There are many tips for creating a comfortable screened porch that will make a dank space unrecognizable.
If you don’t have a screened porch, you might think of it as a dinky outdoor living space that is overall ugly and unwelcoming. If you already have one and would like to spruce it up, you might feel this way as well. Thankfully, there are many tips for creating a comfortable screened porch that will make a dank space unrecognizable.
Have a Comfortable Screened Porch Design
It all starts with the design. You don’t want a screened porch that is falling to pieces or has mold problems. If you already have one, inspect it to ensure it is in sound condition before proceeding. If you are building a new one, Mid-Atlantic Deck & Fence can help you build one that is appropriate for your property’s size and dimensions.
Keep Your Screened Porch Clean
Keep your screened porch clean and take measures to keep dirt out. A dirty area affects the air quality, which affects your health. It could also be a matter of pollen allergies, with millions of particles floating into your screened porch and creating a yellow film on everything. Clean it routinely as you would your home, and use screens, misters, or fans to help you keep dirt from wafting in.
Control the Temperature
A screened porch is open to the breeze and ambient temperatures, which means it can get uncomfortably hot or cold in there. Use fans to keep the air moving and feeling cooler. In summer, you can also use portable air conditioners. In winter, a patio heater, fire pit, or outdoor fireplace will make it cozy and warm.
Make It Beautiful
The screened porch is sound, stable, and just the right size and shape. Its surfaces are fresh and clean, the air is fresh, and the temperature is comfortable for warm or cool weather. All that is left is to furnish it according to your taste and needs. A beautiful seating arrangement and decor will make all the difference and make the space feel truly luxurious.
