Porch Ideas in Pittsburgh for Spring 2022

As April arrives, that means it's almost time to think Spring! Along with warmer weather, you will want to enjoy more time outdoors. Today we take a dive into ideas on how to make the most of your cabin's porch



Make it as comfy as the inside of your home

An porch can easily serve as an extension of your home, especially when you bring indoor decor outside. Enhance your porch with accessories that are traditionally found indoors, including a rug, a pendant light, and a plush couch with a throw blanket and accent pillows. While the couch affords plenty of seating for company, a hanging wicker chair is an inviting place for one person to curl up with a good read.



Neutral colors

A neutral color scheme can add a modern-country touch to your front porch. Shades of brown in the furnishings, planked ceiling, and rustic coffee table unify the space, while throw pillows in muted colors impart warmth and visual interest. By mimicking the comforts that are essential to a living room, a porch like this puts visitors instantly at ease.

   

   

Make it relaxing

A porch lets you enjoy the outdoors without being scalded by the bright sunlight, making it great for fresh air, but not so much for tanning. As a result, lounge chairs may seem out of place on a porch, yet they can be surprisingly successful additions, allowing you to literally kick up your feet and relax. Make these traditional sunbathing seats more front-porch appropriate by covering them with colorful fabrics and accenting with throw pillows. 


Enclose your porch

Enclosing your porch with screening can increase comfort by deterring insects from entering your comfy space. And while the full roof offers protection from the elements, skylights admit an abundance of natural light that fosters a bright and breezy atmosphere.
