Indoor porches give the feeling of spending time in the yard
without any of the major annoyances, such as mosquitoes or other pests.
You can be out there for hours without a care in the world, in the company of
your friends and family while relaxing to the sounds of summer.
Take a look at your own indoor porch — what kind of
shape is it in? Chances are it could use a little TLC. The good news is that
you don't have to break the bank in order to improve this space, you just need
to know how to spend your money wisely!
Here are a few tips to help you upgrade your indoor porch
for less:
- Buy enough seating: If you plan on using your indoor porch to host parties throughout the summer, having seating for all of your guests will be essential. The great thing about one of these kinds of porches is that you can treat it as a second living room, so you don't need to worry about the pieces being damaged by any inclement weather throughout the season. A comfortable love seat or sofa — such as the Sectional Sofa — will ensure nobody is forced to stand around while on your porch.
- Invest in a new table: Of course, you will also want a place where you can put out food and drinks for your get-togethers. If you do not currently have a table out on your indoor porch, invest in one for the summer, as this will make it much easier for your guests to eat. There is nothing worse than having a plate of food and no real way to consume it without making a mess. You can entirely avoid this situation by purchasing an Extension Table. You don't need anything fancy, as keeping it simple will look good for the indoor porch.
- Power wash the entire space: Before the summer really kicks off, you will want to scrub the entire porch from top to bottom to get rid of any dust or other debris that has collected throughout the fall in winter. An effective way to do this is by renting a power washer that will really let you blast away any layers of grime that might have gone unnoticed. A clean porch will feel brand new, just be sure to remove all the furniture before following this step!
