• Develop a central idea or theme you would like your screen porch decorating plan to focus on. Consider the color scheme, type of furniture and fabrics you want to include in your screen porch plan. Look through decorating magazines, online decorating websites and even around your Northern Virginia neighborhood for ideas and inspiration.
• Draw a scaled outline of your screen porch. This allows you to show the location of all structural constraints such as windows and doors, allowing you the opportunity to plan the layout of screen porch. Rather than taking a shotgun approach to buying furniture and other furnishings, the to-scale outline will prepare you for selection and purchasing.
• Choosing coordinating paint colors, fabrics and furniture pieces to complete your Dumfries, VA screen porch. Select paint samples or color swatches that suit your taste, then use those to make other choices for the screen porch.
• Prepare all surfaces by thoroughly cleaning with soapy, warm water and other cleaners as appropriate. If you find signs of mold or mildew in your Northern Virginia screen porch, addressing those issues sooner rather than later will eliminate further mold growth and headaches later.
