When you want to enjoy the outdoors without getting exposed to the direct heat of the sun or unexpected rain, the best place to be is inside your porch. Porches are usually located in front of your home, allowing you to enjoy the view outside without leaving the comfort of your home and sometimes are located in the back as well. Your porch is also the first thing your guests will notice about your home therefore it is important that you design your porch nicely.

Creating more living space

There are times when you entertain guests. Whether it’s a birthday party or a small get together, being a host can put you in a tight spot especially if your home has limited space. When you feel like there is not enough room in your home, your porch can be the perfect place to welcome and entertain guests. Your porch can add more living space by creating a flow between your indoor and outdoor space without exerting too much effort.  However, your porch is exposed to a lot of outdoor elements. Over time, it can take a toll on your porch. 

Porch makeover

When your porch doesn’t look as nice as it was before or seems uninviting, perhaps it’s time for a makeover. Not sure about it yet? There are some key points that can help you decide whether your porch really needs a makeover or not and that includes:

  • Your porch has been around for a while. No matter how well you maintain your porch or the quality of the materials being used, an average porch will last anywhere between 10 – 25 years. Eventually, your porch will need a makeover.
  • There are visible damages on your porch. If the porch boards wobble when you walk, perhaps it’s high time you consider repairing your porch before it can pose a risk to you and your family member.
  • For the sake of a makeover. If you’re tired of how your porch looks, consider a porch makeover, especially if you have the budget to do so. After all, your porch is the front face of your home so you should make an effort to beautify it. Your home will surely look more attractive and inviting. Outdoor spaces such as decks and porches are a great way to add character to your home without spending a lot of money.
