If cost is of concern, try painting the cement or wood with special porch paint and covering it with a natural sisal rug. Or, if you've got some time, faux paint your own terracotta tile floor for a great look at a fraction of the cost. The old, squeaky porch swing and broken down wooden furniture is often replaced with casual indoor-outdoor styles in wicker, rattan, wrought iron or cast aluminum. Plants, baskets or colorful cushions and novelties are added to suit one's taste. Selecting window treatments for the new sun enclosed porch completes the decorating chores.
Vertical blinds are the easiest to care for and afford the most flexibility.
Verticals can be stacked almost completely out of sight or can be drawn and angled to focus light in selected areas. Pleated shades are also popular these days providing a softer look. Once the sun enclosed porch renovations are finished, homeowners move in to relive the nostalgia of a favorite pastime in the comfort of a sheltered enclosure.
