Это очень старая моя работа. Более 10-ти лет назад я придумывала этот интерьер. Приметы той моды сквозят в нём. Но он мне мил и памятен, поэтому показываю его вам.

Underneath the new roof, the ceiling of this patio cover is a beautiful, rich cedar. We also used cedar for the posts supporting the roof. For the base of the posts, we built stone columns that match the coping around the edge of the pool. Using matching materials helps tie the project, visually, to the home’s original features. In this case using matching materials specifically helped tie the covered patio area to the open pool area. You see a cohesive scene whether you’re sitting on the patio looking out over the pool or you’re in the pool looking back toward the house.

The existing deck did not get used because of the hot afternoon sun so they decided to build a screened in porch primarily as an entertaining and dining space. A lot of research was done to make sure "outdoor" products were used that would stand the test of time and not get damaged by the elements. The porch was enlarged from the original deck and is 16' x 28' and serves as a lounging and dining area. A key component was making the porch look like it was a part of the house. We used black paint on the doors, window frames and trim for high contrast and personality to the space. Pressure treated wood was used for the decking. The ceiling was constructed with headboard and 1 x 6 inch trim to look like beams. Adding the trim to the top and painting the molding black gave the room an interesting design detail. The interior wood underneath the screens is yellow pine in a tongue and groove design and is chair-rail height to provide a child safe wall. The screens were installed from the inside so maintenance would be easy from the inside and would avoid having to get on a ladder for any repairs. Photo Credit: Emily Followill Photography

We wrapped the porch’s ridge beam and the surfaces of framing around the porch screens with a wood called Paulownia. This is a soft but strong wood more commonly used in Japan. It’s lightweight like balsa but stronger. It’s also more rot-resistant than pine, less likely to split, and doesn’t warp or cup when it’s drying. Paulownia is commonly used for veneer and for electric guitar bodies, among other things.

As the porch wraps around, you get small nook spaces to sit separate from the rest of the porch or the interior.

Having two great reasons to replace their deck with a screened room, the homeowners didn’t give that old deck another thought. Archadeck of Austin designed a beautiful screened porch that not only protects the family from mosquito misery, it adds an enjoyable leisure space to their home.

Reminiscent of a luxurious chalet, this magnificent outdoor living combination space impresses, no matter how you look at it. From afar, looking from the extremity of the backyard, the handsome gable roof stands out – loud and strong. It is attached to a Legacy end-cut pergola, stained to match the outreaching roof structure. The stamp and stain patio underfoot was built using a Roman Slate stamp, and the color we used was Bone and Walnut. The ceiling finish within the roofed structure is one of our perennial favorites -- tongue and groove pine. To complement the gable roof and attached pergola color sense, it was stained in Dark Walnut.

Large Eclectic Veranda Ideas and Designs

While they may not be as large as their US equivalents, in the UK and Ireland eclectic verandas, pergolas, porches and porticos are still handy little halfway houses between your driveway and your front door or your garden and your back door. Verandas are structures that cover an area next to your house, usually over a patio or decked area at the back as part of your garden, and they offer a sheltered outdoor space that you can enjoy all year round. Pergolas are usually separate from your house but offer basic cover for outdoor dining or simply relaxing. Porches can either give you shelter from the rain (perhaps as you find your keys at the front door) in the form of a basic, open porch canopy structure, or be built out into a small room or vestibule where you can remove and store coats, shoes and umbrellas. Porticos fall into the former category of porch design but are much grander than regular porches, usually with colonnades at either side of the door supporting the porch roof and giving a regal touch to the exterior of your home. If you think your home could benefit from a sheltered outdoor structure, either for dining outside or just taking your coat and boots off as you enter your house, take a look at the porch, portico and veranda ideas, designs and photos from homeowners and designers to take inspiration.

How do I choose an eclectic veranda design?

Glass verandas are one of the most common veranda designs because they let in light, offer slight shade and still protect from the elements, while wooden verandas are also popular due to their traditional-looking style. If your garden and house exterior are styled classically then a wooden veranda or pergola may be the way to go and you may want to consider tiling the roof of the veranda with the same type of tiles you have on your main roof, so everything ties in neatly. Wrought iron and glass verandas can also look classic in their style, appearing almost Victorian, and if you have dark framed windows or other ironwork in your garden or home, this style of veranda could work nicely. Metal and glass verandas would better suit contemporary tastes, and if you don't want the normal pitched roof style, look at flat roofs and verandas and pergolas in unique shapes and designs. You can choose to have either a supported veranda with posts, similar to a pergola structure, or a cantilever veranda that protrudes from a wall of your house without support via posts to the ground. Obviously if you want more space under your veranda then a cantilever veranda is the way to go, but the look of cantilevers is not always to everyone's taste. Otherwise you may only need posts at each end that won't have to be large and in the way if you need the room.

How do I choose a new porch?

Think about what you want from your porch – if, for example, your front door opens straight into your living room, you may want the added privacy of an enclosed porch rather than a portico-style covering. Appearance is, of course, all-important; the front of your house, after all, creates the first impression of your home. uPVC porches are great for insulation, but they may not look as good aesthetically. It’s important that your porch design fits in with that of your house, so keep brickwork and materials similar or complementary. Front doors provide a wonderful opportunity for dressing your house – embrace colour and gloss, and add attractive embellishments with door knockers, letter boxes and wall lights. But don’t just take our word for it; take a look around for inspiration. Once you’ve decided which type and material of porch or portico would suit your house – whether it’s a brick, glass or an oak porch, you can now focus on the design and have a look at some great porch ideas from other Houzz users. Find images of traditional wooden porches that give a warmly welcome, large glass porch extensions that dramatically change home exteriors, and pictures of stone front porches and porticos.

Will I need planning permission for my eclectic veranda, pergola, porch or portico?

Usually verandas will need planning permission as they are not classed as permitted development under Class A, but there are exceptions, so check with your local planning authority first. Provided that your porch or portico follows the stipulated guidelines, it will be exempt from planning permission and building regulation approvals. Ensure that the external floor area of the porch is within three square metres and that its height does not exceed three metres. Finally, the furthest edge of the porch should not go beyond two metres of any boundary of the house and the road. If the porch or portico you want is bigger than these dimensions, make your life easier by employing a builder or porch specialist who will handle the planning and building regulations for you. Pergolas, as garden structure, also do not need planning permission as long as they adhere to standard regulations, but again, check online or with a professional before building one.
