Meet the Dream Team:
The Goal: Muzam wants the porch and back deck to have plenty of seating for family and friends to gather but still be cozy enough for an outdoor dinner for two. He likes to incorporate a few unique touches as well. The Challenge: The front porch affects your home’s curb appeal and should also give a preview of what’s to come upon entering. You want it to jibe with the overall appearance of the house—inside and out.
The Design Plan:
Mix it up
Eduardo’s black- and-white design will give our early 1900s home’s exterior a sleek and modern update. Meanwhile, rattan and concrete elements will add texture.
Go Green
Incorporate evergreen plants for a lush vibe year-round. The plants also provide a sense of privacy, which is particularly valuable on the corner lot.
Make It Last
Combine the look of wood with the low-maintenance durability of composite decking. We’re using TimberTech in Weathered Teak (timbertech.com for info) on both the covered front porch and exposed deck out back.
