The homeowners of this beachfront home in Jamestown, RI, enjoy a stunning view of Mackerel Cove. In order to better entertain their friends and family and make the most of their seaside views, they decided to add a new porch to the existing building. The homeowners needed a screen solution for their new porch that would provide insect protection, and preserve the clear view of the water without taking away from the elegance of the home. In order to maintain the architectural integrity, the homeowners insisted the screens must retract completely out of sight when not in use. Phantom’s Executive motorized retractable screens were installed in recessed housings and are completely invisible when not in use. Due to frequent strong ocean breezes, the screens are also connected to a wind sensor. The sensor protects the screens from damage by automatically raising them when the wind reaches 40 MPH. When winter arrives, the screens are safely stored in their recessed housings until they are needed the following spring.

We wanted to keep the porch minimal from a cost and maintenance standpoint, so we used Trex decking for the flooring. The clients now have a screened-in porch where they can enjoy the Minnesota weather without being bothered by the unofficial Minnesota state bird (mosquitos)! Photo by David J. Turner

Contemporary Verandah Design Ideas

A contemporary verandah requires careful planning because it is here that you transition from the outside of your home to the inside. A roofed and open, or partly open, portion of a house, a verandah is more than just an entryway to your house. It is here you can play games, sit on a swing chair while sipping lemonade, chat to neighbours, and watch the world go by. Browse the photos on Houzz to see how you can breathe life back into your contemporary verandah, or build one onto your home with form and function in mind. You’ll find inspiration for Queenslander verandahs, those with flat, curved, concave and gabled roofs, as well as ideas for flooring and balustrades, to suit all styles of homes, big and small. If you want to dig a little deeper, make sure you check out the Stories or Advice section on Houzz, too.

What style of verandah should I add to my home?

This will be primarily dictated by your budget, space and overall style of your home. Typically, contemporary verandahs are integrated into a home’s roofline, so they will most likely always be a pricey renovation. Flat or skillion-roofed verandahs are popular home additions because they can be shaped to fit most house plans, or extend out to other zones, like a pool, for example. A pitched/gabled or curved roof will give you more height and a more open feel, while a concave roof looks best on a verandah attached to a period home. If you need advice, check out our directory of architects.

How can I decorate my contemporary verandah?

Your verandah decor should reflect your personality and lifestyle, but most importantly, how you will use the space. If you want it to encourage lounging and people watching, add a hammock, swing chair or daybed – the more seating you have, the more likely you are to use it with friends. Get more from your verandah by including a dining table and chairs, with some feature pendant lighting to draw attention to the zone. You could also go beyond seating, by adding the likes of a console or planters. If you’re spoilt with a view, you can also keep it utterly simple with just two comfy armchairs to sink back into. Add colour through wall hangings, potted plants, pillows and rugs, but remember to opt for fabrics that are waterproof and fade-resistant. If you're unsure, get help from a designer!
