In the past, I have been known to impulsively shop, somewhat piecemeal, and never have a cohesive design plan. This results in things being thrown together and not well thought out. I have learned it is better to take my time and slow my roll a bit. With this, I present my design plan for our screen porch area. The items we have now are anywhere from 3-5 years old and a bit dated. They do not reflect my design choices these days. I have decided to sell them and start fresh. The idea is that this is a welcoming area to get away from bugs and enjoy into the evening. The look I am always trying to achieve is comfortable and welcoming. I love for my home to shout this at you as you walk in the door. We LIVE in our home and our outdoor spaces and thus, they must be comfortable! After much back and forth, we decided to keep our dining table and chairs in the porch area. This does limit what we can do in the space, but in the long run, it is the best choice! We love our sectional on our deck because it can fit so many people and decided another would be a great addition. I found a really cost effective one for the size and can’t wait to see it! Below is my design plan. It’s simple, just the basics, but I cannot tell you how many pillows and rugs I went through to get to these choices. This is why it is so helpful to have a design plan!
