Porch decoration - visiting card of a wooden house
As a theater begins with a coat rack, so a country house or cottage begins with a porch. This building is the first thing that homeowners and their guests see when approaching their home. That is why it is important to arrange the main entrance to the country house in accordance with the general style and decoration of the entire building.
It is logical that the porch of a wooden house will be made of wood. It is difficult to imagine a combination of wooden wall cladding with a plastic visor, for example. The use of natural materials, such as stone and wood, allows you to set the tone for the entire room, adjusting all those in harmony with the environment.
The design of the porch allows homeowners to independently or with the help of a designer reflect their attitude to architecture, style trends and even their own lifestyle on the doorstep of the house. No one has yet entered the room, but already can make the first impression of the residents, their stylistic and functional preferences.
It is not surprising that in the design of many porch spaces used country style or rustic decor. After all, the material itself dictates the entire design concept. Different breeds, textures and shades of wood are present literally everywhere.
The use of natural stone together with wood allows you to shade deep woody shades and bring an element of coolness to the warm atmosphere of the wooden porch.
Facing the foundation of the house and the supports for the wooden beams of the porch is not only a harmonious alliance, but also a guarantee of strength and durability of the structure.
Often, near the main entrance, an awning-covered terrace can serve as an alternative to a small porch. Such a construction allows not only to provide a dry and safe place near the front door, but also to get additional space for organizing outdoor recreation.
Adding bright garden furniture, fresh flowers in pots, floor or hanging to the terrace, you can create a truly festive, elegant look for the main entrance to the country house.
By installing barbecue equipment directly on the terrace, you can provide your household and their guests with delicious dishes prepared on fire, even in bad weather.
Very often I install wicker furniture for rest on terraces and under awnings. This choice is easy to explain the resistance of the furniture material to various weather conditions, temperature extremes and moisture. It is easy to look after wicker products, their release is practically unlimited in a color palette or forms.
There are many ways to decorate the main entrance, only their own imagination and financial possibilities can limit homeowners. You can use the sculptures for landscape design, setting them symmetrically on both sides of the main entrance. Carved wooden or forged lanterns can be an excellent decoration on the porch, not to mention the functional side of the issue in the dark.
The original low fence made with the use of tree branches and the repetition of the smoothness of the lines of nature in the forged lattice of the door creates a unique appearance of the porch. And its gabled roof reminds us of fairy tales from childhood.
If space allows, you can create a porch-terrace, which will present your house with a truly royal scope. High arches of the canopy of the terrace, a spacious place for organizing a resting place, comfortable outdoor furniture with a soft backing - everything on this porch has a truly luxurious relaxation.
The multi-tiered visor of this porch serves as an excellent visiting card for a country house, with such an exterior it is easy to differ from neighboring buildings.
