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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
Wow I love your style!!🤩
Thank you so much Aislinn!
This is so cute! I love how you put everything together, your use of colors and different pieces so cute. Now if only I had a porch!
Thank you so much Alyssa! I love having a porch to decorate!
I love this post it’s adorable! I love how everything goes together and I especially love all the plants and the barrel too! Super cute, now I’m going to have to show my husband !
Thank you so much! I appreciate it! I am so happy with how everything came together 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. 🙂
I know what you mean! And yes, I am loving having movie night out there, especially on the weekends. So much fun!
Oh.My.God!!!
I was jealous of the front porch, this is just insane. I want your house 🤣🤣 fancy swapping? 😂
Lol thank you so much Adam! I appreciate your kind comments always!
I this so much! Especially the plants 🙂
Thank you so much Alexis. I love all the plants too!
You have a beautiful porch!!! I love how you styled the space with the orange rug! I’m sure it is nice to have a screened in area to relax, especially when it is as nice as yours:)
Thank you so much Maria. I really appreciate it! I love the orange color too!
I love the rug and the fabric on the pillows! Such a stylish front porch that looks perfect for reading and sipping on tea.
Thank you! I love the fabric and rug too! I like how it all goes together!
This is absolutely stunning! My mind is buzzing with ideas for my new porch. Right now it’s an open porch, but we have tentative plans to do some remodeling after we’ve owned the house for a few years. Will definitely keep these ideas in mind when planning the reno. Thanks!
Yes! I would definitely recommend a screened in porch in the future! I love it. It’s so nice to not to have to worry about bugs on the porch!
I am obsessed with your rug and vintage barrel. We are going to redo our porch sometime this summer too. Yours looks great.
Thank you so much! I was so happy to find that vintage barrel too!
Great styling tips! This looks amazing!
Thank you so much Leeandra. I appreciate it!
Your porch looks lovely! Love the whiskey barrel idea. I’ll have to keep a look-out for one of my own. Thanks for the great tips.

Thank you so much! I hope you find a barrel too! I love it!
Oh my god, I love that you have your TV outside! That is an idea I have never encountered, but it must be lovely to sit out in those perfect wicker chairs. I want to do this when I build a screened-in porch; a friend of mine has one and I love to sit out there with her safe from the bugs. 🙂
Yes! You definitely should! And adding a TV is a must! We try to go out there and watch TV as much as we can during the summer evenings. It’s been so nice to enjoy it!
I’m loving all the colours you have used! It’s so pretty great job 😉
Thank you so much. I love the colors too!
We’re slowly trying to set up a little conservatory and this gives me such good ideas. I’m not a massive fan of summertime either for the exact reasons you’ve mentions but I do love a little spot to sit in and take in the sun – at times!

This is seriously the CUTEST! I love it!!!
Thank you so much Ashley. I appreciate it.
I love the look of your porch! I’m not a fan of the bugs and the heat either so this is a really go option to keep cool and keep the bugs out!

Thank you so much! It definitely is the perfect place to chill!
Your porch looks amazing! Love that it is a great place to hang out with your guests and have a great time overall. I like that you keep it simple without being too cluttered. So cool that you have an outdoor TV too! Thanks for sharing!

Yes! The screen really is perfect for summer for sure!
Wow this looks so cozy! I would LOVE to have a porch like this one day! Especially at my place, the mosquitos are so bad, and they have always loved me. It makes it hard to enjoy eating or sitting and reading out there. Thanks for the great suggestions!
Yes! Mosquitoes love me too! It is so annoying. That’s why having a screen is so great! They can’t get to me now!
Very elegant! I really loved how you managed to put all these thing together in such beautiful manner. Thanks for sharing
No problem! Glad you like it!

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.
Oh that would be so fun. I would love to have an outdoor projector too. That would definitely be perfect for Summer!
Well if I didn’t already want a patio before reading your blog I definitely would love one now! Haha. Your patio is so pretty and decorative, you’ve done a beautiful job in making it a relaxing space. I’m the same I’m not really a summertime person… But a space like this might just convert me!
Thank you for your lovely home styling ideas! 🙂
Quinn x
Thank you so much! Yes, a space like this will convert you for sure! As long as it keeps the bugs away, I am good!
Your house is my dream! Can’t wait until I can have a little outdoor dining area! Lovely work.
Al xx
Awe thank you so much. You are too sweet. I love having an outdoor dining area too!
This looks absolutely beautiful! I think this is my favourite of the two you’ve shared as well. I’m also not keen on the heat or bugs so the screened area seems ideal. It all looks so cosy! x
Sophie
Thank you Sophie. I think it is my favorite too! We love spending time out here!
Oh my goodness is this ever adorable! I wish I had outdoor space to decorate, but I live in an apartment so sadly I don’t. I’ve been working on decorating my main room though, and I’m taking some inspiration from here for sure!
Oh good! I am glad I can still give you a little inspiration then!
Such a beautiful space, I could easily curl up with a book and relax! Decorated beautifully! Thank you for sharing your beautiful space

Thank you! Yes, I love spending time out here reading a good book!
Ah, great arrangement. I love the style and look!
Thank you so much. I appreciate that.
Love your porch! That black screen against dark wood is gorgeous, and then there’s the orange of the pillows. So pleasing to the eye!
Thank you so much! I am loving the orange too!
I loved reading this. Your porch is styled so cute. I could definitely picture curling up there to read a book. Thanks for this great post

Thank you so much. I love sitting out here reading a book too!
I love your porch! I would never leave 🙂
Thank you so much Shana. It’s so hard to leave it!
I love these ideas, I really want a cosy outdoor set up for when I have my own house so can’t wait to use these ideas!
Thank you so much! Yes, I love having outdoor spaces to decorate!
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!
Thank you so much! Yes, you should definitely decorate them! I love styling my porches too! It’s so much fun!
