Ramped up about the arrival of spring? So are we! Here are a few photos from some of our favorite fresh air rooms designed to lure you outdoors. Now step away from the computer and get outside!

Aaaah spring at last…Cozy up your covered porch by arranging outdoor furniture around a table as you would in an indoor family room.

Nothing celebrates the approach of summer quite like a barbecue. Get your patio sizzling with an outdoor grilling station.

Group hydrangeas at the base of  your deck or porch to enjoy gorgeous blooms all season long. Ranging from pale white blooms to spectacular red mop-heads, hydrangeas are a vibrant ornamental shrub that flower from late spring to early autumn.

There is virtually no limit to the options for flooring in outdoor spaces today. From traditional wood or painted floors to rubber composite and plastic, you can tailor the floor to your preference and usage. Stain and scratch resistant Azek decking and railing performs well overtime and under pressure; it’s mold and mildew resistant and impervious to moisture and insects. Plus it’s manufactured in the great state of Pennsylvania!

Why so blue? Blue porch ceilings are said by some to promote a cool, calming atmosphere. Not convinced? Make a fresh air room more comfortable by controlling the temperature. During the day, a fan hung overhead keeps insects at bay and air from being stagnant.
