A 3-season porch kit can provide similar livability (except on very cold days) but remain low cost and simple enough for do-it-yourself homeowners. It can add resale value to your home, without increasing your property taxes.

Homeowner contacted us late 2018 requesting that we design a grand backyard with multiple spaces for entertaining, dinning and enjoying time with friends and family. Their main request was a pizza oven because they enjoyed grilling and cooking for family and friends, We installed a large Chicago brick oven using Unilock Brussels river blend with El Campo Mocha accents for the masonry work (pizza oven, bar and oversized fireplace). For the paver patio, we used Unilock Bristol Valley Bavarian Blend to compliment the other hardscape work as well as the home. Our masonry team designed and built a 48” custom wood box to store the wood next to the oversized fireplace. As a focal point between the fireplace and pizza oven we installed a shear decent waterfall feature coming out of the masonry. Next to the pizza oven we installed a bar area for guests to gather along with a large prep area for the homeowner to make pizzas Forty tons of Ohio stone boulders were installed to expand the yard and support the large patio space. The homeowner requested a unique gas fire feature, so we expanded on the idea creating a custom fire table with oversized cap for cocktails in the evening. With the home on a high-side wooded lot tucked into the trees, our design incorporated native plantings to fill the landscaping space around the home. We created a large entertaining space in a small backyard.

A variable speed overhead fan can help add comfort on hot days. Tip: While the 3-season screen porch is covered from rain, summer humidity can take its toll on mechanical fixtures. So make sure you use a fan designed for the outdoors. It's well worth the extra $30-40 dollars.

Contemporary Verandah Design Ideas with Brick Pavers

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!
