In Tennessee the porch is a room, and it deserves to be designed like one.
Seating layout, dining, shade, fans, lighting and heat all get planned together so the space is usable across as much of the year as the weather allows.
Every fabric and finish is specified for outdoor use, because a porch that looks beautiful in May and has faded by August was never really designed.
Rugs, planters, side tables and lighting finish the room the same way they would indoors, and the palette is carried through from whatever it opens off.
1
Layout and zones
Dining at one end, sitting at the other, so the porch does more than one job.
2
Performance fabrics
Every textile specified for sun and damp, because a porch has to survive a Tennessee August.
3
Fans, heat and shade
The three things that decide how many months of the year the room gets used.
4
Lighting and planting
Lanterns, lamps and planters that finish the room the way they would indoors.
A structured, step-by-step process keeps your project moving smoothly, with clear visibility into what comes next. The key milestones are below.
01
Getting to know you
It begins with your inquiry and a discovery call, then a paid in-home consultation, a contract and your design deposit.
02
Getting started
Measure and trade day, followed by floor plans, a mood board and your investment proposal.
03
The fun part
Your design plan and presentation, then procurement and installation.
Clear terms, an honest conversation and a plan that keeps moving, from the first phone call through to installation day.
