The Advantages of a Front, Side, or Backyard Screened Porch
Cozy and Relaxing Indoor Outdoor Space
You can create a relaxing, comfortable, and new space by choosing or moving furniture and decor that align with your style. Screened porches add a new level of opportunities for entertaining no matter the weather. With the right furniture and chic décor, your screened porch will become the place where people want to spend their time when they come over. It can become the new play place for children or your new place to read a book and relax alone.
Element Protection
A screened porch offers excellent protection from the elements, allowing you to enjoy your outdoor area and a nice comfortable breeze without exposure to harsh sunlight or rain. What a wonderful feeling to enjoy the outdoors with an element shield right in your home.
Bug Control
One of the most significant advantages of a screened porch is the liberty to enjoy the outdoors without the annoyance of bugs and insects. A screened porch allows your family to enjoy the summer weather while avoiding outdoor pests that can ruin a beautiful day. Some of these pests can even carry diseases that could harm your family. Family and friends will enjoy eating their meals in an outside environment away from insects.
Natural Lighting
The natural lighting offered by a screened porch also makes it easier to read and do other work. It provides needed nutrients from the sun that can affect a person’s health and mood. Simply put, natural lighting makes you a happier and healthier person.
Return on Investment (ROI)
This additional space will be a great selling point if you are looking to sell your house in the future. A front, side, or backyard screened porch strikes the perfect balance between indoor comfort and outdoor enjoyment, making it a worthy addition to your backyard.
Inspiring Front, Side, and Backyard Screened Porch Ideas
Designing your backyard screened porch requires attention to several crucial elements to create a relaxing and inviting environment. From selecting the right flooring materials to choosing furniture and decor, and incorporating suitable lighting, every detail is vital in transforming your porch into a peaceful retreat.
- Consider sturdy and weather-resistant flooring and options like composite decking, tongue and groove wood flooring, or natural stone tiles. These materials are not only resilient but also lend an elegant touch to your outdoor space.
- Think about what type of porch ceiling will work best and any additions such as a fan, recess lighting, skylights, and more. You can also have a tongue and groove ceiling installed.
- When it comes to furniture and decor, choose comfortable seating options that invite relaxation. Add soft cushions and throw pillows in serene colors to create a peaceful atmosphere.
- Lighting is another critical aspect when designing your screened porch. Install soft, warm lighting fixtures that create a cozy ambiance in the evening, or consider dimmable recessed lights in the ceiling.
- If your budget allows for it, consider our popular Eze-Breeze® 3-season screened porch.

Maintaining a front, side, or backyard screened porch is crucial to ensure its longevity and functionality.
- Clean the screens and frames every year to keep your views pristine.
- It’s always smart to apply a weather-resistant sealant for protection against rain, wind, and sun exposure.
