Top Tips for a Serene Screen Room

You deserve to have a place in your home where you can escape, relax, and truly enjoy yourself. For some people, that place is the kitchen or the basement, but for many others, especially in southern climates, that place is the outdoor screen room. It is no secret that screen rooms offers a number of benefits including protection from the sun, barriers to the rain, and total freedom from bothersome bugs and insects. With a screen room right outside of your back door, you can enjoy natural light and fresh air during any season of the year, so it only makes sense that you want to furnish and decorate your space to be as beautiful and serene as possible. These tips will help you make that a reality!

Seating or All

You want to be able to sit comfortably in your screen room, and so do your guests! Depending on the size of your screen room, you can include a sectional couch or a table with extra chairs in order to provide everybody a place to lounge around. You can also get creative by using ottomans and other pieces of furniture that can double as seating when friends stop by.

Don’t Forget the Floor and Ceiling

It’s easy to get lost in a maze of furniture, colors, and decor when you plan your screen room, but don’t forget about the two simplest surfaces: the floor and ceiling. Try using multiple rugs, or one large area rug, to create the feeling of custom flooring that enhances the comfort and coziness of your space. The same goes for your ceiling, but instead of carpet, think about what you might be able to hang aside from a ceiling fan. Hanging lanterns or birdcages in sets can provide an interesting focal point and add character to your screen room.

Add Some Privacy

While the screens of your screen room help to create a sense of privacy, you may be craving even more separation from your neighbors. If this is the case, utilize bright colored draperies by installing panels around the entire perimeter of your space. You’ll achieve many decoration goals with this one investment by adding a splash of color and texture to your space while also ensuring an extra barrier from curious eyes.
With these soft touches added to your screen room, you may never head back inside!
