How much to budget for a screened in deck/porch or sunroom addition
Comments (2)Hey There: Sunrooms are a great way to improve living quality in your house as well as increasing the value of it. Enjoy outdoor experience on a rainy or cold day and watch the stars at night – bring the outdoors inside and extend the time you can enjoy it. Besides the design of your new sunroom, you must consider how to bring shading to it - you don’t want to sit in a glass house and get cooked. The shades should easy adapt to your shading and privacy needs for example with a bottom up top down operation for pleated blinds, roman shades and venetian blinds. Must be able to cover triangles and odd shapes (most sunrooms have some non-squared glass) Must be able to be installed overhead for skylight or similar Must be minimalistic to keep the open sunroom feeling Must be available in many colors, prints and designs to choose from Sunrooms and window treatment go hand in hand for a perfect sunroom experience....See MoreAll seasons/convertible screened in porch options
Comments (8)There are companies that specialize in converting covered porches or screened-in porches into 3 season rooms. We just bought a house that was initially constructed with a covered porch on the back side of the house, and the prior owners used a company like this one (link below) to convert it into a 3 season room. I absolutely adore the 3 season room, it was one of the best features of the house. 2 sides of it are basically all glass, mine looks almost identical to the last before/after photo in the link below. I adore sitting out there. I have no idea if this company is any good - it's just the first link Google came up with for me as an example to share. https://www.patioenclosures.com/patio-and-porch-conversions-before-and-after.aspx...See MoreConverting a Screened Porch
Comments (36)Some great images, thanks! I do agree that a casemented sunroom is very much the vernacular. I'm also thinking, looking at the image of my home, that bumping it out could actually enhance the symmetry,since the left side is bumped out already. But I will only go as far as we can without adding piers. I also think keeping the white vertical line down the center is important, and having only the top portion muntined. I might add copper roofs on both sides. Since you are oceanfront in Maine, and already have multiple outdoor spots to enjoy breezes and the sun, I wonder how breezy you would actually want/need this sunroom to be Luckily, this isn't hypothetical, since we know how the room lives now. Since it is away from the ocean breeze, the airiness is pleasant in summer. I would like an option that preserves as much of the air and light we have now as possible....See MoreColors for screened sunroom/porch
Comments (5)I wouldn’t color the floor. I think it’s a great cool backdrop. And I don’t know how a good stencil pattern on time would look. Maybe I need more imagination. I love the inspo pics from Sabrina- adding more green but leaning into the graphic and sharp contrast, like green & white stripes or black & white or all 3. It is pretty easy to find things in those wide stripes and different colors, if you’re looking for a specific green, or do B&W to be neutral graphic & add pops of green. I also like adding some carefully selected rich wood tones. Not anything that clashes with your dining set, and keep as an accent, but a wooden bowl, a teak plant stand or something....See Morela_la Girl
