Beautyful Enclosed Porch Ideas

Sunporch Design Ideas

RICHARD LEO JOHNSON

White-painted brick walls and large, arched windows welcome the sunshine in this sunporch. Wicker furniture, a staple of most outdoor living spaces, outfits the seating area. Accents of green, such as the seat cushions, blend well with the potted plants and container gardens.

This striking sunroom features dramatic, floor-to-ceiling windows emphasized by the Greek key pattern draperies. The coffee table base echoes the look of a classic Greek column. Traditional-style furniture pieces, such as the sofa and chairs, are dressed with stylish indoor-outdoor fabrics that withstand wear and tear.

Stone walls and a dramatic pitched ceiling make an elegant statement in this indoor porch. The blue-painted ceiling draws the eye upward and emphasizes the room’s height. The ceiling color is repeated and echoed through the various patterned throws on the sofa and chairs.

An infusion of airy cottage style is the perfect enclosed porch idea to complement the flood of natural light that fills this window-lined space. First, mimic the look of a classic cottage front porch by installing beaded board on the ceiling. Then decorate with plenty of wicker accessories, flowers, and soft, bright colors such as aqua or coral. If you’re enclosing an open-air porch, create continuity using the same trim and window styles in the enclosure as the rest of your home.

A large dining table and camp-style seats offer plenty of room for a crowd in this cabin-style screened porch. Candles atop a low-hanging metal beam incorporate subtle warmth and ambient lighting into the space. The bundled branch coffee table nearby also makes a nod to outdoor living.

Give your porch a boost with a few shades of paint. Revive worn chairs with a coat of paint in a bright hue, or try painting your door a striking color. Black paint turns this ornately trimmed door into a worthy focal point.

Comfortable furniture, like these lounge chairs and chaise, add to the inviting appeal of a light-soaked sunroom or enclosed porch. These laidback pieces invite afternoon naps and kicking back with a good book. For added comfort, incorporate plush pillows and a soft area rug.

Make the most of a small porch with slender furniture that doesn’t take up too much space. A small bistro table and chairs (like this Better Homes & Gardens Willow Sage 3-Piece Bistro Set with Wicker Table, $344, Walmart) add a functional dining area to this home’s casual porch without overwhelming the tight space like a larger set would. The narrow lines of the furniture also take up less visual space, allowing for a clearer view outdoors.

The muted khaki-and-olive palette on this indoor porch needed a little vibrancy, provided by a few raspberry accents and bright orange chairs. The contrasting color scheme pairs with a variety of textures to give the room life. Wicker chairs, a jute rug, and billowy curtains soften the crisp lines of the porch railings and columns.

Add the functionality of a dining room to an enclosed porch with a few essential furniture pieces. Start with an intimate round table and comfortable chairs, then incorporate a sideboard, credenza, or buffet. A versatile piece of furniture like this adds storage and a place to set up food and drinks for a porch dinner party.
