Fresh Screened in Porches

(sorry to those who commented yesterday, posted here was the wrong post from the guest blogger - oops! Hope you enjoy this one just as much)
Hi! I'm Jessica, a writer for Arcadian Lighting, a wonderful source for beautiful light fixtures and even interior design inspiration. We're nearly through Winter and I'm really looking forward to warmer evenings, and what's more relaxing on a nice Spring or Summer evening than spending the last few hours of the day chatting with friends and families on a fresh screened in porch. I hope you enjoy!

A neutral color palette and subtle floral patterns give this screened in porch a lovely, fresh atmosphere. I love the Japanese garden lantern by the wicker sofa.

Plenty of fresh green vegetation and durable khaki textiles keep this screened in porch feeling like it is part of the backyard garden. The mismatched pendant lights and string of bare bulbs must give this space a magical glow in the evening.

This lovely screened in porch has a very relaxing, vintage atmosphere couresty of the antique burlap sack pillows and beautiful French windows. I love the pop of orange from the throw blanket.

A vibrant shade of green really makes this porch stand out beautifully. The pair of traditional rocking chairs complete the scene. Nothing like sitting back and sipping an iced tea on a warm afternoon. The simple, industrial wall sconces are an excellent choice.

This porch is prepared for anything. A large brick fireplace keeps the porch warm and inviting during colder months, and the screen and ceiling fan help cool down hotter summer days. I love that there is enough room for a dining table.

A dreamy daybed, Fall wreaths and antique furniture are such a romantic combination on this porch. The 18th century painting is a unique accent piece, too.

I love the crisp white color of this porch with sleek black accents. A black and white color palette is almost always chic, and this porch is no exception. Multiple candles throughout the space add a romantic touch.

This beautiful porch belongs to comedienne Ellen Degeneres. The wood furnishings and floor give the space a calm atmosphere and beautiful texture. The partial screening and white walls help make the porch feel more intimate, as well. Images 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8
