Everyone has a front porch but do you also have a back one? Usually more informal than a front porch, a back porch offers more flexibility. A back porch can be a great way to connect your kitchen to the garden outside, a place to enjoy water or nature views, or a protected spot to watch the kids play in the yard. It can also become a nice patio for your pets that aren’t allowed to walk by themselves in the garden.
A back porch can fulfill different functions and can be just roofed (which is a more frequent situation) or fully screened to avoid bad weather conditions or keep your kids or pets safe inside. Let’s have a look at various ideas.
Screened Back Porches
Screened porches can be your outdoor living room, or dining space, or even a bedroom, or all together, it depends on your porch dimensions and your wish. Define its function and then its style: I’d recommend to continue the style you have indoors for a more seamless look. Choose furniture and decor according to the style and function of the space. Spending time will give you more privacy than just outside and your kids or pets will enjoy outdoors while being protected from any type of threat here. The best thing about such porches is that you are saved from bugs that will never spoil your outdoor time!

Roofed Back Porches
This is a more frequent option as screened porches are more difficult to make and you have to plan that in advance. Roofed porches can be outdoor kitchens, dining zones, bedrooms, sunrooms and living rooms. You can place a fire pit or fireplace here, various potted greenery and flowers to make merging with outdoors easier. A couple of loungers will turn your porch into a relaxation zone. Need some privacy? You can easily get it hanging some draperies, and no screens are needed! Get inspired by the gorgeous ideas we’ve gathered!
