Each owner of a private house wants to have a beautifully decorated courtyard, a green lawn and a spectacular porch. The design of the porch is carried out depending on the design of the structure.
Porch decoration
When decorating the porch, it is important to choose such architectural solutions, due to which the design will correspond to the overall appearance of the house. The design of the porch itself needs to be considered at the design stage of the house. Every detail is important here. But there is a main rule: the larger the house, the more massive the porch and vice versa.
Canopies and peaks
Due to the fact that the porch is constantly under the influence of atmospheric phenomena, it needs protection from rain and wind. As materials for the canopy can be used wood, metal, brick. But the most durable will be a canopy of reinforced concrete. Another equally important element of the porch - the visor - can be arranged from corrugated board or polycarbonate.
Porch Design Options
On a hot summer evening it is so nice to sit on the porch and relax from daytime worries. The porch-terrace with a rocking chair and a table will be a great place for a pleasant pastime.
Another way is more suitable for multi-storey buildings: a porch with a balcony. In this case, the visor for the porch is made more durable so that a balcony can be built above it. The combination of styles and the right selection of materials are the basis for creating a harmonious ensemble. If the house is wooden, then a porch with forged parts, carved platbands and balusters will fit it.
For a brick house, a concrete porch with the same steps is suitable. And balusters, columns and columns can be any, including wooden.
There are open, covered and closed porch. It can be docked to the house, or it can be part of the house. The most optimal design for any porch is a combination of wood and stone. In this regard, the European-style porch has a number of undeniable advantages. Firstly, rigor and regular form. Secondly, facing steps does not require large expenditures: the simpler the better.
It is very important to think over the elements that are associated with the porch, for example, a walkway. If the porch is lined with stone, then the path can be laid out with natural stone or tile. Before entering the porch, it is advisable to put vases with fresh flowers, and if a tree grows in front of the house, then you can hang baskets with annual flowers on it. Having planted wild grapes at the porch, it will be possible to protect the house from the scorching rays of the sun and heavy rain.
