The Importance of a Well-Designed Porch
Whether in the front or the back, porches are one of the most versatile and important factors of a home. Regardless of culture, country, or geography, well designed porches are honored and appreciated. What makes a note-worthy porch? Like any other room in your home, it should be an extension not just of your style but also your lifestyle. It should be designed so that it will be used often, cleaned easily, and welcomes both guest and dweller. Here are some favorite porches I’ve seen recently.
