Gentle “Bahama” Breezes Envelop This Thoughtfully Designed And Accented Backyard Screened Porch
If you’re a fan of outdoor dining with a touch of the tropics surrounding you and your guests, feast your eyes on this romantic dining nook banquette by The Porch Company.
Underneath this gabled roof porch, privacy and fresh Tennessee breezes abound within this charming dining area with comfortable seating for 8 people or more.
Custom built and fashioned from hard maple, this porch banquette seating bench features another surprise – innovatively designed storage drawers. Intended to easily hold dinner plates, glassware, utensils, napkins, and any other mealtime accoutrement, the conveniently located black farmhouse pull handles on both bench ends are as refined as they are practical.
A New Entry For A New Outdoor Living Experience
Our team installed a new set of doors at the home entry point to the porch, consisting of fewer panes, yielding a more modern, more contemporary look. Speaking of “looks”, this porch includes cedar Bahama shutters painted sage green on the exterior around the dining area. Bahama shutters function well for privacy and protection from the elements.
On the floor, tongue and groove cypress wood welcomes foot traffic, be it for an impromptu visit or a planned day of fun and relaxation.
Up top, the vaulted ceiling interior provides a lovely contrast within the newly designed outdoor room.
Overhead Textures And Colors That Are A Delight To Behold
The use of dark stain on the interior ceiling with off-white painted rafter ties is proving to be a very popular design option for our Tennessee porches of late. The contrasting color hues of this sloped roof interior lend volume and airiness to the space.
You will notice that the new double doors and sidelights are flanked by the home’s natural brick, painted in that same off-white color. This technique adds an effect of expansiveness to the length of the porch, enhancing the surface textures and making the interior design palette more cohesive and relaxing.
To the right of that brick wall, you’ll find our popular Porchco Sapele screened door at the porch entrance, accessible from the backyard leading to the adjacent deck.
Details That Matter – In A Big Way
As you look toward the focal point of the porch interior, the wood-burning stone fireplace has been customized with wood storage underneath. The side-by-side storage space compartment below the firebox gives the family a generous supply of seasoned wood for nighttime ambiance and warmth. The aesthetic surprise here is that the mantel is concrete – made to look like wood.
A Touch Of Gold For Interior Porch Accents
The warmth and glint of gold add a rich touch as seen in the framed interior art on both sides of the double-doored wall, as well as in the luminescent light globe fixtures at the base of the vaulted porch ceiling.
Placed strategically among the globe lights, we installed Solaira heaters to provide comfortable warmth when needed.
