porches
Keep your shade structure minimalist by using materials like metal or wood to construct a graphic, clean-lined design. Play with where you can pare down design elements until you’ve reached a design that fulfills the utility of the job without overly fussy details. Does the shade ceiling need to extend to cover the entire trellis? Can you eliminate unnecessary posts or other supports?
urn a ho-hum side yard into an inviting, protected destination by adding a shade cloth to span the distance between the building and the property line. To make the covered area feel more personal, hang accents like a collection of lanterns, antique birdcages or plants dangling from macramé hangers.
