Nontrivial design of a veranda in a country house

Nowadays, an increasing number of citizens are striving at least for the weekend to leave the noisy and dusty streets of megacities and relax in a country house or cottage, closer to nature. Modern country houses rarely do without a veranda or covered terrace. Even if the house was built long enough, it’s not difficult to attach a small veranda to the main entrance. And then the question arises of arranging the premises, which is not the main one in the country house or in a country mansion, but performs many functions.

Verandas with a glass roof

Even a very small room of the veranda will visually look more spacious if the roof for this room is made of glass. It is noteworthy that almost all day it will be light here. Similar designs add lightness to the overall appearance of the room.

Domed roof

The spacious porch with a domed glass roof is literally flooded with sun. The use of wicker furniture that matches the color palette of wooden furniture made it possible to create a truly cozy and comfortable atmosphere. There is enough space on such a veranda to accommodate the living and dining areas.

Vaulted glass ceiling

A vaulted ceiling with wooden beams and frosted glass inserts is a central element of this veranda. The warm atmosphere emanating from the wood trim is supported by the soft light of table lamps and a pendant fan lamp.

Natural stone and wood in the interior of the terraces

Natural stone is often used as a material for finishing floors on the veranda or terrace. In many cases, this flooring is continued outside the premises, penetrating into open areas or under awnings.

Stone foundation

Natural stone can be used not only for facing the floor of the veranda, but also for the construction of the foundation. Almost unprocessed stone in combination with the uncut frames of large windows looks incredibly harmonious. It seems that the household is in the forest, and not in a comfortable summer house, the terrace is so well integrated into the surrounding nature.

Stone wall

Even a small vertical surface, lined with stone, allows you to change the general mood of the room, giving it a little primitive modesty, unobtrusiveness. And in combination with wooden elements, an almost transparent design looks incredibly reliable and durable.

Living and dining room on the veranda

The spacious room of the veranda harmoniously combines the functions of the dining area and living room. The stone finish on the floor and one of the walls in almost all shades of gray looks great in contrast to dark wicker furniture.

Stone fireplace

Arrangement of a fireplace or a stone stove in the space of the terrace is a fairly common design technique. The room, which, of course, needs an additional source of heat and provides residents with the opportunity to relax while admiring nature behind the glass walls, is worthy of such a functional element as a fireplace.

Finishing the space near the fireplace or stove using masonry brings the spirit of antiquity to the interior of the veranda, a sense of strength and reliability. Not to mention that it is incredibly practical in terms of maintenance and durability of processing of any surface.

Light porch design

The use of light and even snow-white shades in the interior of the terrace allows not only to visually expand the space, but also to create a truly festive, elegant mood of the room.

Monochrome Veranda

The classic combination of white shades of the ceiling and window frames with the dark color of the floors and one of the walls gives a unique character to even the smallest room on the covered terrace.

White terrace

The whiteness of the window frames and the ceiling echoes the same shade of the upholstery of the furniture and the floor lamp, and the deep brown tones of the wooden furnishings add warmth and contrast to the terrace.

Scandinavian-style veranda

The presence of the Scandinavian style is felt in the light finish on all surfaces of the veranda and in bright interspersed with textiles and decorative elements.

Light floor

In the interior of this terrace, designers took an unusual path in many ways, using white color not only in window frames, textiles for upholstered furniture, but in the flooring palette.

Dining room on the veranda

This spacious and bright veranda is used exclusively as a dining area. In such a comfortable and cozy room it is pleasant to gather the whole family, have dinner, chat and enjoy the gorgeous views of nature outside the windows.

Large fireplace

The light and neutral atmosphere of the veranda serves as an excellent backdrop for the focal point of the veranda - a large fireplace-stove, occupying the entire space from floor to ceiling. Bright upholstery and a colored floor mat dilute this monochrome.

Arrangement of a corner for relaxing and reading on the veranda
