What is the best size for a new porch or three-season room? This is a common design dilemma for our clients. In a recent blog on porch size considerations, we shared that two of our most common porch sizes are 14 x 16 and 23 x 14. For some people, knowing these dimensions is all they need. For others, making these measurements more visible is a helpful step. If visual examples of dimensions would help you, check out the various porch sizes with accompanying photos below.
*Tip: Remember that furniture size has an impact on space and space planning. If you don’t already have outdoor furniture you are planning to use for a new space, you may want to research this before finalizing your porch size decision.
