Our clients wanted to update their old uncovered deck and create a comfortable outdoor living space. Before the renovation they were exposed to the weather and now they can use this space all year long.

Deck conversion to an open porch. Even though this is a smaller back porch, it does demonstrate how the space can easily accommodate a love seat, 2 chairs, end table, plants and a large BBQ.

Our clients Wayne and Christa had an existing deck on their 25-year old home on its last legs. Badly in need of renovation and repair, the original was built by the former owners as a DIY project. The deck consisted of three different sections; a nice sized area immediately outside the patio door, a space to the left that stepped down into a sunken hot tub, and a small grilling area that transitioned to the right-hand side of the backyard. A screen porch was the option our clients chose, and we set out to create an efficient design. Using our final design and inexpensive materials, we were able to exceed their expectations and deliver a traditional screen porch within their budget.

Located in a charming Scarborough neighborhood just minutes from the ocean, this 1,800 sq ft home packs a lot of personality into its small footprint. Carefully proportioned details on the exterior give the home a traditional aesthetic, making it look as though it’s been there for years. The main bedroom suite is on the first floor, and two bedrooms and a full guest bath fit comfortably on the second floor.

Traditional Verandah Design Ideas with Mixed Railing

A traditional 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 traditional 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, traditional 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 traditional 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!
