For those tiresome days when you just want to lazy it out with your friends and family. Simple yet elegant designs for your home. How many times have we wished that we could just chill outside soaking the sun on a good sunny day? Having such a zen place is a dream of many - a place of comfort, a place thats just our own for some "me family time". With advice from some of the best interior decorators in delhi, here's a list of some amazing tips for your porch interior decor.
Having a beautiful view that you can spend your time lost into is like water in a desert for those days you just wanna be left alone to your own thoughts. The best placement of decor elements should be towards the visual centre of attraction. Use foldable chairs and tables which are easy to carry and setup.
You can create your own personal garden - DIY? or hang potted plants or other structures like windchimes or art for a more welcoming look. Studies have shown that plants help to create a serene atmosphere and a calming effect on the human psyche.
Beautify your front porch with textures and patterns - covering the floor with colored tiles like the above example can beautify the front welcome area of your house ten fold.
Tie A loosely hanging hammock for a quick comfort nap during those cool windy summer days. You can even place a hanging swing or a rocking chair. REST EASY.
Having a distant roof top structure like a gazebo provides a separate area where you can just relax and have a cup of coffee. How much fun would it be to watch rain or that first snow safe under a gazebo?
Create your own personal fireplace in your backyard and place comfortable chairs to go along with it. The above photo showcases a leisure backyard well designed using the 60-30-10 rule - note how the fireplace is built into the wall.
You know, its possible to assign a small space for an outdoor kitchen and home barbecue. In fact you can even just have a portable barbecue trolley for your home events and gatherings. A built-in kitchen with stone/brick divisions can seamlessly melt into your brick wall.
If open area is not your cup of tea, you can enclose the porch with temporary structures like glass installations, wooden or aluminium frames. You may need a permit to make certain changes. Check with your local developer and authority
Place your furniture closely with a smaller table to create a warmer atmosphere. Use trendy furniture - you can be innovative in your furniture choice like the pic above utilises a broken down piece of log or stump as their centre-table. Creating your seating arrangement towards a corner can render the illusion of a private space like a reading room.
Don't limit yourself to just one line of thought. Multiple decor elements like marble structures, windows, wicker chairs, plants, a small pond, horizontal and vertical decor elements, multi-level structures can really accentuate the overall outlook of a place and is also helpful in making a small space appear relatively bigger than it actually is.
