3 Must-Have Features For Your New Porch

Isaac Simpson

Making the choice to add a porch to your home's exterior makes it easier to enjoy the outdoors. A porch can provide a great outdoor living space, but you must give the design of your new porch careful consideration to ensure the space offers the comfort and convenience you are looking for.

Here are three must-have features that you should consider implementing into the design of your new porch in the future.

1. Add some skylights into the roof of your porch.

If you want to maximize the amount of sunlight that enters your porch without compromising your ability to remain protected from the elements, then you should consider adding some skylights to the roof of your porch.

Skylights can allow ample sunlight to stream into your porch while still keeping rain and snow out. The addition of louvered shutters to your skylights can give you the ability to control the amount of sunlight your porch receives, making this outdoor living space more versatile.

2. Add a buffet pass-through to your porch.

Many homeowners like to put an outdoor dining table on their porch. If you plan to use your porch area for hosting meals, then you should consider adding buffet pass-through into the design of your new porch.

A buffet pass-through provides you with the ability to pass food items through from the kitchen of your home directly onto the porch. You won't have to carry heavy, hot, or delicate food items through your home in order to serve them on your porch when you opt to build a buffet pass-through into your new porch.

3. Create several different rooms within your porch.

If you plan to have a large porch that wraps around the entire exterior of your home, it can be beneficial to section the porch off into smaller rooms that can serve different purposes. You can screen in one room to provide protection from bugs while you spend time outside.

You can leave the rafters of another room exposed to maximize sunlight in that section of the porch. Sectioning off rooms within your porch's design allows you to maximize the versatility of your outdoor living space.

Building a new porch can be an exciting way to increase your ability to interact with nature. Ensure that your  new porch will meet your needs by incorporating skylights, a buffet pass-through, and sectioned-off rooms into the porch's final design.
