One of my little tomatoes popped off the vine while I was fixing the trellis (rude). But listen, I’ve put way too much love into these raised beds to let anything go to waste. So I sliced it up, fried it Southern-style, and WOW… crispy, tangy, perfection.
Honestly? Might “accidentally” knock a few more off the vine just to make another batch 😏

Sweet Summertime: Styling a Cozy Screened In Porch

Y’all know I love me a good porch sittin spot, as I have already shared my Spring Front Porch Tour with you all. But, I also wanted to share all about our life on the screed in porch that we have on the back deck today too. This is probably my favorite porch because it is screened in.

I am not a huge fan of Summertime, mainly because of the bugs and the heat. However, since this porch space is screened in, it definitely helps prevent me from getting so mosquito bit!

We also have a nice fan in the porch too so that helps you from feeling overheated in the hot months of summer.

This post contains affialte links. Click here to read my disclosure policy.

Sweet Summertime on screened in porch
Here’s a view of our screened in porch!

If you’re curious to know how to style basically an outdoor living room on your screened in porch, then keep on reading below.

I will share with you all the tips and tricks on how I styled mine and made it feel more cozy, just like a living room!

Patio Furniture

The biggest thing that I think is important to your screened in porch space, is patio furniture! You really want to make sure you take the time to look around and test out different styles and brands.

Because you want the furniture you choose on the porch to be comfortable.

Patio Furniture on Screened in Porch
Shop my look below:

Remember, we are making it like an outdoor living room, so you want to be able to feel like you can curl up on the couch outside and read a good book or just relax in the sunshine.

You also want something that will hold up well in outdoor temperatures. Be sure to read the reviews and see what other peoples opinions are as well.

Outdoor TV

Again, since we are going with the outdoor living room feel, a TV is a must for this space! I have to admit when my hubby first told me he wanted to put a TV outside, I thought he was crazy.

But now, I absolutely love it! It’s so much fun to be able to watch a movie outside at night and turn our patio lights on too.

Outdoor TV on Screened In Porch
This is where our TV is. We just keep a cover on it when we aren’t using it and it has held up fine throughout the years. We normally put it inside though during the winter since we don’t sit outside as much then.

It gives the space such a cozy and romantic feel. It’s the perfect spot for a fun date night at home. And I even like to light a few outdoor candles as well to make the space even cozier!

Plants

I definitely love having fresh, live plants all around my porches, so I try to place them everywhere I can.

Flowers and greenery just make me so happy, so I like to add a little corner of happiness on my screened in porch too for my plants.

Plants on Screened In Porch
Here is my collection of plants on the screened in porch!

I have all kind of different plants out here and I feel like these plants are more protected than the ones on my front porch, since they are covered by the screen.

So they usually do pretty well out here.

Accessories

Here’s where all the fun of styling comes in to play. Choose some fun accessories for your porch such as colorful rugs and pillows.

I feel like you can be more bold out here because it is outside and I think the more bold of colors/patterns, the better! I chose to use a burnt orange color scheme because our door is painted that color.

Accessories on screened in porch
Here is my vintage barrel that we use as a coffee table!

I love the pattern to our rug and pillows and although I would never choose that for an indoor space, I love it on the screened in porch.

I also love adding in some patio lights for a late night twinkle and I have an old vintage barrel we use as a coffee table too.

We would eventually like to add a little more to this space in the future, but for now I think it is just perfect!

Outdoor Dining Table

Just to the side of our screened in porch, we have a medium sized deck that we keep our grill on. We just got an outdoor dining set to put there and love it!

It has been so nice to be able to enjoy meals out on the porch!

Outdoor Dining Table
Shop the look of my outdoor dining table below:

It really is like a cozy living room and dining room outside! I have a feeling we will be spending all summer long out here. Now, we just need to get some comfy cushions and we will be all set!

Well, I hope this post gave you some ideas on how to style your screened in porch. And even if you don’t have a screened in porch, these tips and tricks totally can still apply to a regular porch space too!

So do y’all have a screened in porch too? Let me know below and tell me all about how you style it too!

    Idea about TV is super cool! I can understand what you felt when your man offered to hang TV there, but ”movie night” outside with wine or hot tea sounds sooo good!!! If I would have a TV on the porch, besides covering it with some plastic bag, I would hand something in front of it. Like some painting or poster! It could look better when the TV is covered and also ”unexpected” guests will not be able to directly see this expensive thing… I hope you know, what I mean. 🙂

    That looks like such a comfy space to relax in! We don’t have a screened porch but we do have a large back yard with 2 different deck spaces where we spend a lot of time in the summer. We don’t currently have an outdoor tv but I’ve actually been doing some research into getting an outdoor projector for our yard. I think it would be great to be able to host an outdoor movie night when the restrictions on getting together with people are lifted.

    I love your porch! We currently have two outdoor spaces, a full-length front porch, and a small deck. But neither are decorated hardly at all. I really need to come up with a plan! We use both spaces so much! I wish one were screened in. I love the wire on the bottom of your screen; it’s so much more interesting than a wood panel!

One of my little tomatoes popped off the vine while I was fixing the trellis (rude). But listen, I’ve put way too much love into these raised beds to let anything go to waste. So I sliced it up, fried it Southern-style, and WOW… crispy, tangy, perfection.
Honestly? Might “accidentally” knock a few more off the vine just to make another batch 😏
