March Into Spring: Preparing Your Screened Porch for Warmer Days
March marks the transition from winter’s chill to the refreshing warmth of spring — and that means it’s time to get your screened porch ready for the season ahead! After months of cold weather, your porch might need a little TLC to bring it back to life. Luckily, with a few simple updates and the right setup, you can turn your screened porch into the ultimate spring retreat.
Start with a Spring Cleaning
Winter can leave behind dust, debris, and a general sense of neglect — but a quick deep clean can work wonders. Start by sweeping the floors and wiping down any furniture. If you have a SCREENEZE® system, give the screens a gentle wash with mild soap and water to remove any dirt or buildup. SCREENEZE®'s durable material makes cleaning easy and helps maintain a clear view of your backyard.
Refresh Your Furniture and Decor
March is all about fresh starts, so consider updating your porch’s look with light, airy fabrics and bright colors. Swap out heavy blankets for lightweight throws, and add outdoor pillows in pastel shades or floral prints to give the space a fresh, inviting feel. A new outdoor rug can also help tie everything together and add warmth underfoot.
Bring in Some Greenery
Nothing says spring like fresh blooms and vibrant greens. Potted plants, hanging ferns, and even a small herb garden can breathe new life into your screened porch. Plants not only look beautiful, but they also improve air quality and create a calming atmosphere. Plus, with the protection of your SCREENEZE® system, you won't have to worry about bugs disturbing your little oasis.
Let the Fresh Air In
March weather can be unpredictable, with chilly mornings and warmer afternoons. The beauty of a screened porch is that it allows you to enjoy the fresh air without worrying about bugs or debris. SCREENEZE®'s no-spline system creates a smooth, wrinkle-free surface that maximizes visibility and airflow — perfect for those crisp spring breezes.
Set the Mood with Lighting
As the days get longer, you’ll want to make the most of those extra evening hours. String lights, lanterns, or battery-operated candles create a cozy, welcoming glow. Consider adding dimmable options to adjust the mood depending on whether you’re hosting friends or just relaxing with a book.
