5 Ways to Make Your Open Porch Spectacular
Although many homeowners come to us with a specific vision in mind, most agree that their open porch should be as comfortable as possible. Below, our design experts have compiled a list of 5 ways to maximize comfort outdoors and make your Greenville porch spectacular!
1) Maximize the space for comfortable seating
When creating the perfect porch, planning your space to accommodate the right amount of seating is critical. You’ll need to consider the number of people that you anticipate using the area regularly and optimize for traffic flow. You may also choose to incorporate built-in seating, such as benches around the perimeter of the porch.
2) Create plenty of shade
In Greenville SC, we have an average of 221 sunny days a year, and many of those are warm. By optimizing your porch for shade, you’ll create an outdoor environment that feels 10-15 degrees cooler than it does in the direct sunlight, making everyone as comfortable as possible.
3) Install a ceiling fan
On a warm day, nothing offers more comfort than a ceiling fan that keeps the air moving. Depending on the size of your space, you may even consider installing multiple ceiling fans. A nice, gentle breeze and increased airflow is always appreciated!
4) Customize design features to your liking
When designing a custom porch, it’s essential to embrace your lifestyle. After all, you know your family better than anyone, and you want to design a space where you can gather for years to come. You may consider a custom fire pit or outdoor fireplace for family to gather around. Perhaps you’d like to integrate an outdoor kitchen into the space so you can prepare meals with the wind in your hair. What about a sound system or flat screen TV? If you can dream it, Archadeck can build it for you!
5) Add accent lighting
Just because the sun goes down doesn’t mean you need to head inside! Accent lighting can transform your porch experience at night, creating endless hours of outdoor enjoyment.
