Should I use long white sheer curtains to help lighten a dark porch?

Marion Nesbitt on Mar 15, 2015Is this an all-season porch? Sheers would help. Don't know what your budget is, but I would consider replacing the dark carpeting, and/or painting some of the cedar.Helpful Reply

Janice Reynolds on Mar 15, 2015The porch does not have heating or air. It is like a large screen porch with windows....16 large windows to be exact. The in door/out door carpeting does very well out there and is still in great condition...would hate to change it at this time.Helpful Reply

Kayo Frazier on Mar 16, 2015White sheers ceiling to floor will help quite a bit in lightening the room. You can also add white pillows, white small tables for books, drinks, and food as well as a small 2-3 bookshelf to hold books, or add baskets to hold odds & ends. The white will make the furniture & accents pop off the cedar shingles.Helpful Reply
