This Screened Porch Is Just What The Doctor Ordered For This Classic Home In The Nations
The Porch Company brings outdoor living leisure functionality and high style into this tall and skinny screened porch in The Nations – one of Nashville’s newer and most sought after areas.
Quaint. Cozy. Welcoming. And perfectly sized for the family, this new custom screened porch design in The Nations is as elegant as it is smartly designed.
With soft neutral interior tones of soft blue, mocha and tan, the interior of the hip roof of the screened porch matches the hip roof of the house itself, giving the impression that the screened porch was always there – and not brand new.
As you step out of the house, onto the screened porch, you’ll notice the new structure is supported in part by the existing column, which now appears in white.
The pastel-like mocha interior siding is native to the home, whereas the deeper colored tan above it is new.
New Interior TV Wall Adds Exterior Sound Protection With A Touch Of Class
To help the family enjoy sporting events, movies, and their favorite streaming channels, a private TV wall at the far left was built and painted in a contrasting color.
In addition to giving their TV a new home, the bonus is that the TV wall now camouflages and hides the exterior HVAC unit behind it in the backyard – a solution to prevent an unsightly structure that could have interfered with the interior experience of the new design. The new wall also lessens the noise while the unit is in operation.
AZEK Entrance Deck And Black Iron Fortress Railing Welcomes Family And Friends In High Style
From the backyard landscape, the family can easily access the new screened porch via a 5-step staircase and entrance landing, using AZEK low maintenance decking.
To guide those who enter – and to protect the perimeter of the new space – black iron Fortress railing was chosen.
Why Fortress?
A black iron Fortress railing is a heavily favored stylish and effective addition to protect a new screened porch. These iron railings are known for their durability, strength, and low maintenance requirements.
It is interesting to note that iron is a durable material that can withstand various weather conditions, making it extremely suitable and practical for outdoor use. It is resistant to rust and corrosion, especially if it is properly coated or painted.
The black spindles of the railings seem to actually ‘disappear’ in the viewer’s line of sight. Fortress railings also allow great air flow, while still meeting requirements of the codes department. The strength of iron adds an extra layer of protection, which is especially important if the porch is elevated or if there are children or pets.
Aesthetically, black iron railings add a touch of elegance and sophistication to the overall design of your screened porch. They can complement various architectural styles and enhance the visual appeal of your outdoor space.
Atop It All, Pine Rafters and Spruce Sheathing
Painted white to enhance the soft tones of the decorated space, we installed and then painted familiar materials of pine and spruce. The stained horizontal rafter serves as the best location for the oversized comfort fan.
The streamlined design of the fan is a beautiful accent to the new interior design in its minimal yet pronounced design expanse.
Also of note is the electrical outlet strategically installed below the ceiling to accommodate the string of festive bistro lights that add just the right touch of illumination whimsy after sunset.
