Spring Pairings – Porches, Playlists, Paints, & Plates
As winter winds into Spring, there is no better time than to get out on your screen porch after the cold weather concludes. As the days grow longer and the temperatures rise, spring is the perfect time to refresh your outdoor space. Whether you’re planning a quiet morning with coffee on the porch, an afternoon of DIY projects, or a lively evening with friends, the right pairings can make all the difference. This season, we’re bringing you some inspiration on how to utilize your porch to the best of its ability this spring!
The Porch – Your Outdoor Sanctuary
Spring is a time for your porch to truly come to life. An enclosed outdoor space brings the best of the indoors and the outdoors. Our innovative screen systems allow you to enjoy the season in comfort while maximizing your view and airflow. For relaxation, a cozy swing, plush cushions, and a side table for your favorite book are perfect for making your porch practical and inviting for guests. Bistro lights and a fire pit could be great additions to ensure your porch can be enjoyed even throughout the night. Lastly, potted plants and an outdoor rug will bring a homeyness vibe to your porch, calling for maximum relaxation.
The Playlist – Sounds of Spring
No porch experience is complete without the perfect playlist. Whether you’re unwinding solo or hosting a jam, music sets the mood. First things first, your audio system is important. If you have an impressive record collection, a record player could be a great option that is practical and appealing to the eye. Mounting Bluetooth speakers around your porch is another fantastic option. You can install them and forget about them, and they will bring your porch alive. Even a portable Bluetooth speaker will do the trick and will bring energy to your porch. Creating a spring playlist with all the people who will be spending the most time on the porch is a great way to keep everyone happy and having a good variety of music.
The Paint – Refresh Your Space
A fresh coat of paint is one of the easiest ways to bring new life to your porch. Whether you’re giving your floorboards, furniture, or trim a new look, the right color can transform the space. A color combination like yellow and coral brings a bright and playful vibe to your porch while navy and white will bring a timeless coastal-inspired look. Along with the paint job, the color of your seating, textiles, and decor are another great way to spice up your porch in the spirit of spring.
The Plates – Spring-Inspired Bites
Spring dining is all about fresh, seasonal flavors that can be enjoyed outdoors. Whether it’s a weekend brunch, a casual lunch, or a candlelit dinner, the right dishes bring people together. Avocado toast with fresh herbs for brunch, grilled chicken wraps for lunch, and lemon-garlic salmon for dinner are some examples of vibrant spring dishes. To account for all these meals, it is important to keep your furniture in mind. If you have the room for it, a dining table with adequate seating is the perfect place to grab a bite. If not, some side tables and a coffee table should do the trick with seating to accompany them. Also, you can set up a small outdoor bar cart with seasonal drinks and snacks to keep guests refreshed.
Spring is the season of renewal, and there’s no better place to embrace it than your porch. With a little creativity and the right pairings, you can turn your outdoor space into the ultimate seasonal retreat. Ready to upgrade your porch with a SCREENEZE® system?
