Turn Your Porch Into A Second Living Room

The essence of any great living room space contains both comfortable and functional aspects. Creating a porch that personifies these qualities is simple and will recreate your porch into a second living room!

When browsing patio furniture, choose large pieces for a warm home appeal. All Weather Wicker sets can help provide this sense of calm luxury. Try to intertwine your all weather wicker furniture around available porch space. Place large all weather wicker chairs in corners and line larger areas with a 3 person couch or glider. Try adding furniture cushions for extra comfort and versatility.

Once you have achieved your optimal furniture layout, placement of accessories will tie the porch together to form the living room image.

Insert an over sized rug with bold colors or patterns to compliment the more dainty all weather wicker pieces. The rug will act as a centerpiece and welcoming feature for your porch. Colored pillows cornered in large all weather wicker furniture are both alluring and comfortable accents.

Lastly, shed some light on your second living room by strategically placing candle holders. These porch accessories are ideal for producing a cozy and warm quality.

When you pair large patio furniture with warm and colorful features, you are creatively creating a porch with all the comforts of home.

Protect Your Patio Furniture

When the warm sun disappears and turns into a cloudy rain, it's important to protect your patio furniture and keep it dry so you can use it when the sun comes back out. To prevent any damage, get a cover for your cast aluminum patio furniture and all-weather wicker, or place them under an awning or in the garage.

Protecting your furniture cushions from the rain is important since it may take them a while to dry, and they could get musty and ruined. If there is rain in the forecast, grab your furniture cushions and bring them indoors until it clears up and take them out when clear skies return.
