Our Screened In Porch During Spring

Last weekend I made it my project to bring some life into our screened in porch. This is the ideal time of year to be using it- the weather is beautiful and as the bugs begin to come out, we’re protected just enough to not be bothered. Last year, our designer, Olivia, found this wicker furniture set at Pier1 (I don’t think this particular set is still available, but this one is similar), that ended up fitting perfectly. Our porch isn’t the largest space, and a lot of outdoor furniture can be quite oversized and wide. This set allowed us to still have enough seating area without being right up against the fireplace. She found the coffee and side tables at Ballard Design. Thomas and I purchased the antique green bench at Petersham Nurseries when we were in London last summer and even though it cost an arm and a leg to get it here, we really love it. Overall, the space didn’t need much and with some additional planters, pots and new fresh plants, it came together like a spring dream.
We went to a local nursery and picked up two fiddle leaf fig trees, some hydrangeas and annuals to add around the porch. It’s amazing what some plants will do to a space! It’s already made us go out there for multiple dinners, as well as keep the doors leading out into the porch open on the weekends to let the breeze in. My mood is really affected by the space I’m surrounded in, and now that our screened in porch feels cheerful and inviting, I want to spend so much more time in it!
I don’t know if I’m nesting already, or it’s just having spent more time at home lately, but I find myself wanting to take on all of the different home decor projects that we’ve been putting off since we moved back in almost a year ago. It finally feels like we’re really settling in, just in time for our newest addition in a few months!

Such a cute little decorated spot to relax and enjoy the outside nature in the Springtime.

The photos look beautiful! You decorated the place really well. I think spaces like these are my favourite, they’re so pretty and relaxing and unfortunately, I don’t have a porch in my house but I feel like maybe one day that could be an important feature to look for in a house.

The space looks so lovely! I’m jealous of the outdoor fireplace, that’s one of the elements in my dream home for sure!
Have a wonderful day!

Just beautiful Julia! 💕
Love your space! I live in a second floor condo that was built in the 1930’s. My favorite thing about my condo is the 192 sq ft screened in porch. A screened in porch is almost a necessity here in the South with all the bugs. Mine is probably my favorite room in my condo. Luckily in the South you can use it almost year round. I know you are really going to enjoy it through out the year.
Your porch is so dreamy! What a beautiful place to enjoy the gorgeous spring weather.
Love the space! Where are your porch lights from?
GORGEOUS screened patio! I love how all the different plant pots come together and the color scheme is so you! Random question, but was this taken at sunrise? The diffused light makes each photo look so ethereal!
I love your screened-in porch. The colors are so cheerful and welcoming and the rattan accents give it so much character.
Thanks for sharing!

Love your porch ! I have been looking for terra cotta pots with scallops like you have on your end tables . Where did you find those ? I cannot find the source in your post . Thanks so much !
Your porch is stunning! How are you keeping the pollen off all the furniture and pillows?! I live in Mt. P as well and my porch is a mess from the pine tree pollen!
I remember seeing a photo of your screened in porch on Instagram, and I instantly fell in love <3 :) It's such a brilliant idea! Love how you decorated it!

So beautiful! Would you mind sharing the paint colors for the wall and floor of your porch?
What a special spot!

I love the space! I’m curious how your screened in porch fares during Charleston’s Springtime pollen – ours gets covered in yellow and I feel like I spend more time cleaning it than actually enjoying it! Do you try to buy certain materials that are easier to clean or do anything in particular to protect your porch from the elements?
Oh your place is gorgeous!

I am loving the idea of painting our porch floors white. Can I ask your color and if you have any regrets on choosing white?
