The veranda can be decorated with a variety of materials. At the same time, it should be noted that this room is unheated, therefore it is not recommended to use Decoration Materials, which are unstable to moisture and temperature extremes. In addition, it is not recommended to save money in the process of purchasing finishing materials.
All finishing works can be done independently, without the help of specialists. First you need to create an approximate project for the work, then select and purchase materials. The ceiling is usually finished first, then the walls, and finally the floor.
Plain wood trim.
What materials are suitable for finishing the veranda?
The choice of suitable finishing materials is critical.
Finishing should be done with high quality materials that are resistant to various negative influences.
It is especially important if the veranda does not have full glazing and insulation. Then the finish will be subject to the strongest influence of atmospheric factors, which cannot but affect its performance.
- The most popular material for finishing work on the veranda is wooden lining. It is suitable for finishing ceilings and walls of rooms. The lining is completely made of wood, has an attractive appearance, it is pleasant to the touch and exudes a pleasant woody smell. At the same time, during additional processing, the lining is resistant to various influences, which allows it to be used in different climatic conditions.
- Interior decoration can be done with plasterboard sheets. At the same time, it is important to purchase moisture-resistant drywall, which can be used to sheathe the ceiling and walls. It is a safe material to operate and not exposed to fire. Plasterboard sheets can be easily cut and bent, so the final decoration of the room can be done using a variety of design techniques.
- The veranda inside can also be finished with MDF. It is a cladding material that imitates natural wood. It is strong enough, durable, but susceptible to moisture, so it cannot be used to decorate the structure outside. The best option is to use it in closed and.
- PVC panels. PVC panels have been in high demand in recent years. Panels on the modern market are presented in a wide variety of shades, textures and types, so you can easily choose an option for your veranda or terrace. PVC panels are highly resistant to moisture, high and low temperatures, and chemicals. They are easy to assemble with your own hands. Caring for the material also does not require special costs.
- Siding. Interior decoration with siding is extremely rare. Still, this is a material for finishing work outside. It is great for cladding country houses and various buildings on the site. In stores, you can find models with imitation of wooden lining, natural wood, stone, brick and other materials.
The choice of this or that type of material for decoration will depend on the personal preferences of the owners and financial capabilities.
Veranda ceiling decoration
Before finishing the ceiling of the veranda inside, it is necessary to thoroughly treat all wooden elements with an antiseptic composition.
After processing, the installation of the frame base is carried out, for which wooden blocks are used (30x50 or 50x50 are suitable). They should also be treated with antiseptic compounds. The bars are fastened to the roof rafters using self-tapping screws or long nails. The step of fixing the bars is 30-40 cm. It is important to observe the horizontal installation of wooden elements, for which you need to use the building level.
Also, a waterproofing material must be fixed to the rafters, which will protect the heat insulator and finishing materials from moisture. Thermal insulation materials in the case of a veranda can be plates. mineral wool, polystyrene and other traditional insulation materials. Only then can you start attaching the outer skin to the ceiling.
The easiest way will be to hem a wooden lining on the ceiling of the veranda. Installation of wooden lining is carried out strictly perpendicular to the frame bars. You need to nail it into the end with galvanized nails. After the lining of the ceiling with clapboard is completed, it is recommended to grind it and cover it with any suitable paint and varnish composition.
If the ceiling of the veranda is planned to be finished with PVC panels, then the work is carried out in the following sequence:
- First, the initial profile is installed on a wooden crate, with which it will be possible to assemble the individual PVC panels with each other.
- After that, a panel sheet must be inserted into the grooves of the initial profile. The panel is fastened using separate clips or self-tapping screws.
- Then the next panel is installed in the groove, which must be fixed in the same way.
- Further, the work is carried out in the same sequence.
- During the installation process, it is necessary to leave a small gap of 10-20 mm in size, which will ensure trouble-free expansion of the plastic material during exposure to high temperatures.
Likewise, siding panels or MDF can be hemmed onto the veranda ceiling. Given the fact that MDF and siding in stores are presented in many models with a wide variety of designs, this option has recently become a priority for many suburban homeowners.
If it was planned to hem drywall sheets on the ceiling, then it would be better to abandon the use of wooden lathing in favor of a specialized metal profile.
The elements are installed directly on the profile, to which the drywall sheets are attached. It is better to fix the sheets with self-tapping screws. Upon completion of the drywall fixing, the ceiling surface must be putty, cleaned, which will prepare it for final finishing.
Finishing the walls and floor of the veranda
It is quite simple to decorate the walls of the veranda: first of all, it is necessary to mount a wooden frame made of bars. It is important to make the installation as even as possible, checking the accuracy of the installation with a building level.
Nice wood paneling.
If you intend to make a warm veranda, then after installing the wooden sheathing, the walls must be insulated with a suitable thermal insulation material. Before installing the insulation, a waterproofing film is installed, which will protect the insulator and finishing materials from moisture and condensation. All wood materials used must be treated with an antiseptic compound. After that, the selected facing material is attached to the wall.
The veranda flooring needs special attention. The choice of this or that type of coating will largely depend on the operating conditions. For finishing the veranda floor, you can use a terrace or solid board, laminated panels, ceramic tiles and other popular flooring materials. Waterproof laminate and decking are the best option for finishing. These coatings are quite easy to install, durable, and do not require special maintenance conditions.
Waterproof laminate and decking can be used even when the veranda is completely open from the outside and has no glazing.
In addition, in such cases, as an alternative solution for floor finishing, preference can be given to traditional ceramic tiles or modern PVC panels. It is also possible to use linoleum. It is worth noting that the new linoleum models have a rather attractive appearance and excellent performance, so their cost can be quite high.
External finishing of the veranda
Outside, the veranda can be trimmed with wooden clapboard, although many experts recommend abandoning its use in the external cladding, even if the material has been treated with protective compounds. The most popular solution for outdoor decoration of terraces and verandas is siding, models of which can imitate a variety of finishing materials. Siding can be easily attached to any base.
For facade work, horizontal siding is usually used, equipped with locking joints. Finishing in this case can be done independently. The main thing here is to make a frame (crate), on which the installation of plastic siding panels will be carried out.

Finishing a veranda in a private house - photos of finishing materials and their purpose
Having dealt with the question, it is necessary to proceed directly to its decoration. When choosing, you should rely, first of all, on the practicality of the finish and its appearance. It is worth considering and deciding whether the veranda will be used for walking, as they say, “on bare feet,” or if they will walk on it in shoes.
In any case, the number of different materials for decoration allows you to develop your imagination to the fullest and show your creative power. Before buying a finish, a good option would be to create a layout for the future design, which will help to avoid:
- problems with the combination of colors and materials;
- overexpenditure or lack of finishing.
In addition, the design project allows you to think over more details and choose the best combination for finishing a veranda in a private house. All finishing materials can be divided into different target areas of application:
- Outdoor;
- Wall-mounted;
- Ceiling.
Most of the materials that are used for decoration are versatile - they are suitable for both open and closed verandas, however, there are various exceptions.
Interior wall decoration
For the interior decoration of the veranda, there are many materials that allow you to achieve a pleasant appearance. Of course, you can use ordinary finishing materials, such as wallpaper, however, on the veranda they are very likely will not last long and will come into an obscene form.
This chapter discusses the main types of materials for covering walls on the veranda:
- Lining;
- Decorative plaster;
- PVC panels;
- MDF panels.
interior of the room All of them require a different level of skills from the master - sheathing with PVC panels is much easier than finishing the wall with plaster, however, and they give the effects corresponding to the labor costs. How to sheathe the veranda inside? - Let's start with the most popular wall paneling.
Finishing the veranda with clapboard
Warming of the veranda in wooden house The lining for the veranda is classically a thin, usually up to 5-10mm, board made of wood, recycled materials or plastic. To connect individual boards to each other, a system with spikes and grooves is used, which allows you to quickly and reliably connect the boards to each other.
Previously, the use of lining was considered a special chic - the walls sheathed with lining at the time Soviet Union, were a huge luxury, since it was quite problematic to get it. Now it is a generally available material that can be bought at any hardware store.
The lining on the veranda differs in the profile of its grooves and the angle of processing of the edges, which allow you to create different cosmetic effects:
- standard profile, with beveled edges that create noticeable transitions between the boards;
- “calm” profile, with softer transitions due to the small corner of the edges;
- Euro profile, forming a pattern after collecting the cover.
Separately, the American and European wall paneling is distinguished, which has its own peculiarities of use - the “American” allows to imitate the “overlapping” laying style, and the “European” has additional ridges on the front side, covering the joints. As a material, it is quite whimsical - when choosing a lining from solid woods, it is necessary to take into account the drying out that will occur after fixing the lining to the wall. MDF lining does not require such an attitude, however, with a very high humidity in the room, over time it can absorb moisture and take on a form that is unsuitable for wall covering.
To finish the veranda with clapboard, you only need a screwdriver and clamps - special metal latches that are screwed to the board and allow you to speed up the work process. The spikes on the boards are longer than the grooves, which is protection against the destruction of an even row when the board dries, therefore you should not try to push the spike all the way.
Decorative plaster
This type of interior decoration of a veranda in a private house (photo enlarged) is a special mixture that, when dried, creates a finished, in the case of using colored and textured plasters, or unfinished wall covering. 
On this moment There are a huge number of decorative plasters for the veranda:
- Colored, with various colors in its composition;
- Stone, imitating the texture and appearance of natural stone;
- Venetian, creating the effect of natural marble;
- Silk, or also called “ liquid wallpaper”Containing synthetic fibers, and other types.
The appearance of the plaster coating is determined not only by the material, but also by the application technique. By using different smear techniques and experimenting with the amount of mass on the spatula, it is possible to achieve different visual effects. Masters with its help can make whole paintings - sgraffito, which are distinguished by great strength and durability. 
Of all types of plaster, only silk is not suitable for use on open verandas - the material is very sensitive to changes in temperature and moisture, which will lead to its deterioration after the first frost and high dampness after rains.
PVC panels for the veranda
Polyvinyl chloride is an extremely versatile and convenient material that is essentially plastic. The panels from it can take any shape, and the colors are limited only by the designer's imagination and the possibilities of colors. 
Panels from it have:
- resistance to high temperatures;
- low weight;
- water resistance.
Another huge plus is the cost - one sq.m. PVC panels will cost you much less than a meter of lining or MDF panels. 
On sale there are both ordinary panels without special processing, and lining, with a system of pins and grooves. The process of finishing the PVC veranda is very simple - it takes place with the help of fasteners. The panels can also be screwed on with ordinary screws at low power, but this is not too beautiful and you risk easily splitting the sheet with too much force. 
PVC lining is mounted in the same way as a conventional lining, using clamps and screws. She has a wide variety of profiles - it all depends on the manufacturer.
The main disadvantage of PVC products is their low frost resistance - at temperatures below -15 degrees, the panel may crack.
MDF panels
The word MDF comes from an abbreviation from English name- Medium Density Fibreboard, which in Russian means medium density fiberboard. The material is compressed high pressure under the temperature of shavings of different types of wood. It is an environmentally friendly material. 
MDF panels for verandah cladding are made up to 10mm thick and have:
- sound absorption;
- resistance to high and low temperatures;
- ease of use.
The main disadvantage of MDF is its low resistance to moisture, which is seriously reduced in the presence of open ends or uncoated chips. The board swells and, over time, breaks up into shavings. 
MDF panels are made both as separate sheets and in the form of lining and other finishing products. It's easy to work with them - you can just screw them on. The material is varied - the coating has many different textures and colors.
Having discussed the question of how to decorate the walls of the veranda inside, we go directly to the ceilings.
What to make a ceiling on the veranda
Ceiling coverings have a separate feature - the material, if possible, should be lightweight and resistant to moisture that can get onto it from the roof. 
For finishing the ceiling on the veranda, we will consider the following options:
- lining;
- PVC panels;
- polycarbonate;
- wicker ceilings.
All these materials are easy to install and do not require any special temperature conditions which makes them truly versatile.
When making a ceiling on the veranda, you need to take into account the future location of light sources - they can add an additional zest to the room with the correct ceiling covering. 
A prerequisite is the use of skirting boards - no material will give you a perfect ceiling without noticeable joints, and when creating wooden coverings, you need to leave additional gaps for the expansion of the wood after drying.
Lining
The lining on the ceiling is no different from the lining on the walls. Using it on two surfaces of the veranda at once - the ceiling and walls - allows you to create a complete, noble design of the room. The direction can create a special effect - it can be run diagonally, adding a game of geometry to the room, or continuing the clapboard on the walls. 
The peculiarity of the veranda cladding inside the clapboard is only the use of a lighter ceiling clapboard, up to 7mm thick, and a slightly more complex installation with tracking the indents from the walls, which are laid for the possible expansion of the wood due to the increase in temperature. When decorating the ceiling and walls with clapboard, it is necessary to take into account the width of the boards. For a pleasant appearance, it is advisable to continue the joints of the walls on the ceiling, making the boards the same arrangement. 
PVC panels
As a ceiling material, PVC is versatile - it can be used both on the veranda and in the house. For ceiling work, the panels are very convenient - they are very lightweight. 
The process of finishing a veranda in a private house (clickable photo) is simple and combines finishing and leveling - with the help of guides from metal profiles, it is possible to create a perfectly flat ceiling without wasting time. The profiles are mounted at the desired length - usually 50-80mm is enough to remove even a noticeable drop, after which the wiring necessary for the lamps is thrown under them and the whole structure is sheathed with panels.
The material is quite thin and soft, therefore, if necessary, it can be easily cut with an ordinary construction knife into the desired parts. Each panel is protected with a foil, which must be removed after installation. 
The variety of materials allows you not to limit the creative space, but for the ceiling it is better to take a closer look at glossy options that will visually enlarge the room.
Polycarbonate
Polycarbonate is a very nice looking material. At the moment, it is produced mainly in two forms:
- monolithic plates;
- with honeycomb division.
The advantage of this material for the ceiling is its transparency, which imitates glass, in the absence of the latter's disadvantages: fragility and great weight. It is possible to give it any color scheme. A good option is the design of the polycarbonate ceiling together with a transparent roof, which can create a unique veranda in its appearance, completely filled with sunlight.
Installation of polycarbonate on the veranda is carried out by pressing it along the edges, in the case of small individual plates, or with the creation of a frame and subsequent sheathing. 
You need to be especially careful when working with wires - they must be fixed in opaque areas, otherwise they will spoil the whole effect of the transparent ceiling.
Wicker ceilings for the veranda
Such a design solution will give a special "rustic", in good sense of this word, the shade of the veranda. The only difficulty is the installation of lamps - the weaving does not always come out strong and it is rather difficult to make an even hole in it. 
The Wicker Bamboo Veranda Ceiling is made of 3-4mm thin plywood or veneer. It is enough just to dissolve a large sheet into segments of 50-150mm and intertwine them. The ends are lined with perpendicular ribbons.
For fastening, it is necessary to add several transverse strips to the ceiling, at a distance of about 1000-1500 mm, to which sections of the tape are nailed with slate nails with wide heads and thin legs. It is better to lift the weaving with the help of ropes, which are fixed on the transverse logs. They start from a narrower edge - a good braid will not fall apart from such an impact. 
Difficulty can arise at the fastening stage - plywood and, especially, veneer easily cracks from strong influences, therefore it is better not to rush and hammer nails slowly.
Having examined the main points of the interior decoration of the veranda in a private house (clickable photo), we will proceed to the final and no less important stage - floor sheathing.
Veranda flooring
The floor is very important - the tactile sensations when walking are taken from it. The following types of veranda flooring can be considered:
- Tile;
- Terrace board;
- Linoleum;
- Rubber coating;
- Concrete floor.
By choosing flooring, you need to build on what kind of building will be - open or closed, whether they will walk in it in shoes or barefoot. With a "clean" veranda, one should not forget about the possibility of placing carpets or other decorative coverings.
Let's go directly to the discussion of the question of what to make the floors on the veranda, let's start with the tiles.
Veranda tiles
Perhaps this is not the easiest option, but the most practical one. The tile itself:
- shockproof;
- easy to clean as it is resistant to water;
- has many design options.
With tiles, you can lay out various geometric patterns, combining the shape of the tile itself and the pattern on it. 
To place tiles on the veranda, preliminary preparation of the floor covering is required - leveling and screed. Otherwise, the tiles will “play”, creating unevenness and unpleasant sensations for the feet.
To work with tiles, tile adhesive is required, which is applied to the back surface. Between each other, the individual parts must be leveled, and special crosses are laid between the corners, leveling the seams in size. The joints are masked with a special grout that stays in the joints and is easily erased from the surface. 
The main difficulty can be cutting to non-standard sizes - even edges are quite difficult to make without a special tile cutter, which costs quite a lot of money, however, if necessary, you can ask your comrades to cut the tiles with this tool, or cut the tiles with a hacksaw or grinder.
Terrace board for the veranda
Veranda decking board, also called decking, is specially processed lumber. It has three layers - the lower one, which is a surface with grooves for ventilation, the middle one, which has cavities for the expansion of wood, and the upper, smooth, front layer. 
Benefits of a veranda floorboard:
- Easy installation;
- Durability;
- Heat capacity.
The appearance depends on the coating and the material used, of which there are a huge number of combinations. If you plan to use it in open areas, then it is better to give preference to varnished or impregnated against dampness. 
For the floor on an open veranda, it is required to create a frame and pass the lag. Lags are placed perpendicular to the direction every 400-600mm. After that, the board is simply nailed or screwed on with screws. It is necessary to work with this material very carefully - a blow past the nail can ruin the appearance of the coating. 
Linoleum
Studying the question of how to cover the floor on the veranda of a private house, let's pay attention to linoleum. It is made from a combination of PVC and polymers to give superior flooring properties. Linoleum:
- waterproof when installed in one piece;
- shockproof;
- very easy to use;
- cheap.
There are a huge number of types of linoleum and it is quite simple to choose it for the design. There are those that imitate parquet or stone, and quite naturally, and you can distinguish them only upon detailed examination.
Finishing the veranda in a private house - photo of linoleum on the floor For installation, it is enough to have a relatively flat floor surface for a veranda outdoors or indoors. The roll is simply rolled out, leveled and attached at the edges with a plinth. If necessary, it can be cut into separate sections and fastened with a special bar. This is useful when there are narrow passages where a solid piece cannot be inserted.
For an insulated floor, it is possible to use a polyvinyl chloride lining, which is quite cheap and allows you to eliminate some surface imperfections under the linoleum, creating a heat-retaining lining.
Rubber coating
The rubber covering for the veranda is, in fact, rubber. The floor covering from it is represented by individual tiles or monolithic pieces that have unique properties:
- huge impact resistance;
- waterproof;
- resistance to temperature changes.
The rubber floor on the veranda of the summer cottage gives you the opportunity to create a wide variety of designs with great strength and durability. A prepared flat surface is required to work with it. When installing the cover with individual modular tiles, no special tools are needed - with a small floor area, they simply adhere to each other and are reinforced at the edges with a plinth. 
Regular tiles require polymer glue to hold them in place. Installation is similar to usual, ceramic tiles however, the joints can be made close to each other without aligning them with crosses.
Rolled linoleum resembles ordinary linoleum with a smaller roll width. The joints between it are welded with a special soldering iron or a construction hairdryer with a thin nozzle, or they are glued with polymer glue. 
Concrete floor
The concrete floor for the veranda is the simplest and at the same time the heaviest option for covering. For it, you just need to have a pre-made monolithic foundation, or cover the floors with concrete slabs. 
Such coverage:
- shockproof;
- waterproof;
- not sensitive to temperature changes;
- does not require careful maintenance.
Of course, it is not enough just to put a concrete slab on the floor - you need to polish it. To do this, you need to stock up on a polishing machine, abrasive diamond belts or wheels and a lot of patience. 
The polishing process begins with the use of the largest grain of the tape (they are marked by the number of grains per square centimeter - 40, 80, 160, 320, and so on) and walk it over the entire surface. After that, a tape of less abrasiveness is taken and everything is done again until the surface reaches a uniform shine.
Having dealt with the question of how and how to cover the floor on the veranda, we will proceed to painting it.
How to paint the floor on the veranda in the country with your own hands
Painting your veranda is a great way to protect your floor finish. The paint protects the floor from damage and corrosion. Various materials lend themselves to painting:
- wood - boards, MDF, decking;
- concrete.
How to paint the floor on the veranda in the country, except not with acrylic paint For painting the wooden floor of an open veranda, acrylic, alkyd, nitroenamel and oil paints are most optimal. For good woods, you can also use wood stain or varnish. Before painting the veranda board, the floor must be cleaned from the remnants of the previous paint, if any, and sanded.
When painting, you need to dip a brush or roller from excess - otherwise, accumulations of paint will form in the recesses, which will spoil the appearance. It is better to polish the varnish after painting, otherwise it will be too slippery for walking.
Concrete floors are best painted with epoxy, acrylic or polyurethane enamel. Epoxy paint is not completely painted - it is rather “rolled” on the floor with a special spatula to an even layer. It does not wear off over time and gives a very bright color. 
How to paint the floor on the veranda in the country? Choose acrylic paint and polyurethane enamel. They are applied with a regular brush or roller. Before painting, it is better to clean the surface from dust and prime it, which will ensure a better adhesion of the paint.
Rating of finishing materials for the veranda
To make it easier for you to make your choice, we have compiled for you a small table of the most convenient and popular finishing materials.
| A place | Material | Appointment | Justification |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Lining | Ceiling and walls | Environmentally friendly material, does not require special skills from the master. Allows you to create design solutions that will always look natural. Can be renewed - sanded and re-varnished or stained. |
| 2 | PVC panels | Ceiling and walls | Cheap and affordable material, easy to work with. It is lightweight. On sale you can find a large number of textures and colors. However, it rarely looks natural and is not very durable. |
| 3 | Linoleum | Floor | Easy to use and practical at low cost. Large assortment with various colors and textures. It imitates parquet and natural stone very well. The downside is the limited area of use - it looks good only on the floor. |
| 4 | Network | Ceiling | Looks extremely impressive. The variety of plywood allows you to create different design solutions. Needs accurate installation, difficult to work with. Placed only on the ceiling due to its fragility. |
| 5 | Terrace board | Floor | The deck is easy to use and allows you to create a natural wooden floor. The material is extremely durable due to ventilation and is immediately prepared for placement. However, it costs decent money and is not very convenient for working in the house. |
No one private house or a summer cottage is not complete without a veranda - a place where home comfort and the pacification of wildlife meet. What finish to choose, how to arrange furniture and fit the structure into the surrounding space?
The veranda is probably the best place in the country or in a country house, where you can fully relax and feel at one with nature. It can be solid, insulated, functionally planned and thoroughly furnished. Or to be light, furnished with a dacha simplicity - such that with the onset of cold weather it could be freed from furniture. However, any veranda needs a certain interior decoration, which will create that unique atmosphere of closeness to nature.
The most important thing is that the veranda is in harmony with the architecture of the house, its interior decoration echoes the interior. It is also important that it is correctly integrated into the surrounding landscape.
Veranda style
It all depends on the style of decoration of the house itself. But at the same time, the atmosphere of the veranda should convey its purpose - a place for relaxation and meals. Therefore, they are perfect rustic styles, for example, country, Provence, Russian style, in which comfort is intertwined with the simplicity and charm of rural life. If you want something special, you can choose Japanese or eco-style. Or build a patio inspired by the Roman Empire with fountains, flowerpots and terracotta tiles on the floor.
Materials (edit)
Only natural materials will be appropriate in the interior. Walls can be finished with stone or brick, making a reference to the loft style. The wood will also look organic. For flooring, it is better to use a wear-resistant, unpretentious material - for example, porcelain stoneware. Panoramic glazing is traditional for most verandas: sunlight passes through it and the greenery of the garden is visible. If you equip your veranda with sliding glass doors, you can let the garden and its freshness inside at any time, or you can block out the dampness in the rain.
It is also better to choose a natural palette for finishing the veranda. In this border zone between the house and the garden, natural green, gray-brown, terracotta shades with bright accents will look very beautiful.
Layout
It is important to plan the space inside the veranda in accordance with your expectations and the functions that the veranda will perform in the house. If you rarely use it for cooking, but more as a place to sit and drink tea in the shade, you will need an uncomplicated dining group (table and light chairs) and a small barbecue to sometimes cook barbecue for the household.
If you are a connoisseur of country feasts with many friends, then it is better to make a competent layout on the veranda. Allocate a dining area and a cooking area, organize an entire kitchen: build an oven, including an oven, a hob, a fireplace with a spit, a grill and a tandoor, as well as put a cutting table, hang cupboards. Then a hotel kitchen is not needed inside the house.
Furniture
An open veranda should be furnished with special garden furniture. It is made of resistant materials that are not afraid of moisture, cold, do not deteriorate under direct sunbeams... Be sure to need a table and several chairs for the household. Dishes and food can be safely stored at home, so cabinets are most likely not needed. But flower pots or pots, a rocking chair or a hanging chair, a sofa swing will be very useful on an open veranda.
You will need much more furniture if you are working on finishing a glazed veranda that plays the role of a kitchen-dining room at home. Here, for the interior setting, you can already choose solid expensive furniture: soft sofas and armchairs, a round table so that more guests can fit behind it. Undoubted decoration will be wooden dish shelves - the most place for beautiful plates. Let's not forget the old granny's buffet.
Decor
The veranda finishes with a selection of decor and accessories. Since this area combines the functions of a relaxation corner and a kitchen-dining room, the decor should be appropriate and cozy. The mood of warmth will be created by family photos on the walls, paintings with landscapes and still lifes, painted dishes and intricate candlesticks.
More examples of interior furnishings of verandas can be found in the photo with design projects from professionals.
Surrounding area
A private house or private estate is a single whole with the territory adjacent to the house. The veranda should look organically in the surrounding landscape, and the garden approaching it should be a continuation of the chosen style. In short, if the preference is given to the English style, then the garden should be English. And the east veranda will fit into the Japanese rock garden. By the way, the veranda can be combined with another functional area:
- winter garden, greenhouse or even a greenhouse
- playground so that kids don't get bored while adults are feasting
- bath or sauna to combine the pleasure of eating barbecue with taking water procedures.
Most often, speaking of a veranda, we mean an open or closed extension to one of the walls of the house, where it is convenient to spend time relaxing or having dinner. But the terrace, being one of the varieties of an extension to the house, differs from it, although their concepts are somewhat similar. A terrace is a structure that has supports on pillars, a roof, adjacent to the house on one side. On this side is the exit to the terrace from the house. The rest of the sides are open, the effect of unity with nature, which the terrace gives, is very strong. Even heavy rain, which can be observed under the roof of the terrace, fully feel its dampness, humidity, hear all the sounds, will not soak the one who is on the open area on three sides. And a cup of tea before going to bed, in an armchair in the fresh air, is a luxury not available to many.
As for the veranda, this building is both on the first floor and on the second. Cottages with such a structure on the second floor look quite stylish and impressive. Therefore, great attention is paid to the decoration of the closed veranda on the second floor - this testifies to the status of the owner, to his taste. This room also has a roof that can be made in the traditional way, or it can be made of glass, which will allow a lot of daylight during the day to be in the room.
Decorating an open veranda in the country (from the photo you can see that it can be stylized for anything) requires a special creative attitude. You can decorate it with evergreen cypress seedlings around the perimeter, then it will turn into a structure in the Greek style. You can decorate the veranda inside in the form of a winter garden or a stone palace.
A carefully thought-out interior will give this structure a special look, make your own corner of creativity and imagination out of an ordinary house. Decorating the pillars of the veranda with wood carvings or decorating them with curly ivy or vines will add a charming look to the design of the terrace.
Such a structure is built both on one side of the house (open or closed type) and around the house. If it is built in length along the perimeter of the house, the structure looks like a gallery, but if it is a rectangular extension, it looks like a pavilion. On summer period the structure is built without insulation and glazing. Wall decoration on the veranda can be done in different materials... And for winter, the living space goes into one where the windows are double glazed.
