Amazing Screen Porch Ideas

Who doesn't love wonderful screen porch ideas? Dave and I sure do.

We want to give you some of the very best screened porch design options and features for your own screen porch. What better way to show you than through pictures of custom designed and built screen porches courtesy of The Porch Company in Nashville, Tennessee.

We believe you'll readily agree the following pictures will give you plenty of screen porch ideas. Learn more about The Porch Company below.

We encourage you to look through these photos in detail. We'll point out certain characteristics for you to consider using on your own porch like architectural styles, foundations, railings, and porch skirting designs to name a few. We'll also show you interiors and highlight those features as well like flooring, knee walls, fireplaces, and more.

What's immediately noticeable in this picture is the roof design which compliments the home's roof style. In addition, note the designer balustrade (railing) system; it adds lots of charm to this screened porch. Also, notice how the screening extends to the top of the gabled roof line adding additional air flow and light.

They've also added skylights to the roof for more lighting. And finally, note the skirting that hides the porch's foundation (see our skirting section to find the right skirting design for your porch).

This is an excellent example of architecture that fits its surroundings. The colors and style fit well in this wooded setting. Also note the horizontal railing system; railings need not always be vertical.

This design blends really well with the home's architecture even though it is wood rather than brick. The large stone fireplace chase gives it a great focal point. Note that the stone is extended to the porch's foundation - a nice touch!

And also note the detail in the porch columns. Details like these can make your porch unique and a great added value to your home.

This blends the best of both worlds - a screened porch and a deck. This combination works really well for outdoor entertaining. French doors are great when entertaining larger groups and a screen transom-like opening above the doors allows for added air circulation. The exterior light not only covers the doorway but the adjacent stairs as well.

A flat screen TV, ornate railings, and exposed rafters in the ceiling make this a super screened porch. It's wise to know what amenities you want on your porch (like the flat screen over the fire place) so that adequate electrical requirements can be included in the design.

We selected this picture to show due to the different ceiling materials. In on section, tongue and groove panels were used while in the adjacent area the rafters were left exposed. Also note the can-lights and sky lights in the ceiling. The screen panel frames are slightly rounded to give a softer look. These are all great screen porch ideas.

Exquisite screen porch! You can't help but notice the screen porch shutters and the height of the screen panels. The wall sconce and ceiling lighting and the table lamp add great decor to this porch.

Beautiful wood flooring and ceiling fans are great screen porch ideas. You'll have many options for flooring and our decking materials section will walk you through each one. Also note the built in shelves along the screen panels - a nice touch.

The Porch Company, Nashville Tennessee, is a design and construction company specializing in custom porches and screened-in porches.

It all began when Nancy Moore, after working for 9 years at IBM, decided to turn in her blue suits and pumps to pursue a career in construction. So she bought an old house, began remodeling and soon after decided to focus on porches...and The Porch Company was born.
