Screened-In Porch Furnishing Ideas

Make the most of your favorite in-between space. A screened-in porch is one of the most versatile areas in any home. Protected from sun, rain, and bugs—but still open to the breeze—it’s the perfect spot to sip morning coffee, unwind in the evening, or entertain guests without worrying about the weather.

Whether you’re furnishing a new space or refreshing an existing one, here are some stylish and functional ideas to transform your screened-in porch into a year-round retreat.

1. Start with the Right Seating

Comfort is key. Since your porch is sheltered, you can enjoy a wide range of furniture styles without concern for direct exposure to the elements.

• Club Chairs: Create cozy reading nooks or conversation zones. A pair of lounge chairs with a side table between is perfect for relaxing.

• Sectionals or Loveseats: Recreate a living room feel outdoors. Choose deep seating and plush cushions that invite you to settle in for hours.

• Condo Club Chairs: Ideal for smaller porches. These space-saving chairs deliver comfort without bulk.

Incorporate a TV and turn your porch into the ultimate weekend viewing lounge. Paired with comfy seating and a nearby Asheville storage cart for snacks, it’s an easy way to enjoy game days in the fresh air. Add blankets for chilly afternoons, and you’ve got a seasonal setup you’ll love.

2. Add Rugs & Pillows

Soften your space with an outdoor rug to define zones and add visual warmth. Then layer in throw pillows to bring in color, texture, and personality.

Design Tip: Our Bliss pillows come in a variety of designer patterns and solid colors and hold up beautifully to humidity and seasonal use.

3. Create a Dining Area

If you love al fresco dining without the fuss of wind or bugs, your screened-in porch is the perfect setting.

• Select a smaller table that fits your space without crowding.
  

• Pair it with cushioned or padded sling dining chairs for comfort during long meals.
  

• Add ambiance with a lantern-style light fixture or candlelit centerpiece.

4. Keep It Functional with Accent Tables

No porch is complete without accent tables. Whether it’s a coffee table, side table, or console, these pieces offer places for guests to set drinks, snacks, or books.

Look for: Durable materials like powder-coated aluminum or our Bliss EcoLumber handle moisture and wear with ease.

5. Make It Feel Like Home

Infuse charm and personality with finishing touches:

• Planters with low-maintenance greenery
  

• Lanterns or string lights for a soft evening glow
  

• Throws or blankets for cooler nights

• Ceiling fan to circulate air on warmer days

Bonus: Add a Fire Feature

For a truly cozy vibe, consider a Bliss fire pit table. If your porch is well-ventilated and local regulations allow it, this feature adds warmth and glow—without the mess of wood or smoke.

These simple elements turn a porch into a space you’ll never want to leave.

Your Porch, Your Way

From morning coffee rituals to game-night hangouts—or even cheering on your favorite team this fall—your screened-in porch can become your favorite room of the house. With the right furniture and a few thoughtful details, it becomes a true extension of your home—and a space you’ll want to enjoy year-round.
