Whether you have a period property garden and are looking for a more traditional look to compliment your home, or you have a new build and want to add a contemporary veranda; there will be a style perfect for you. If you want to learn more about the style options available when purchasing a veranda, keep reading.  

Why Choose A Veranda Over Other Options? 

Firstly, why choose a veranda over other options such as conservatories and awnings? Well, verandas are far more versatile in a number of ways. There are a greater range of style options for you to choose from, so there is more opportunity for you to adapt the veranda to what would best suit your home. They can be open to the garden if you just want to have a covered area to make the most of your garden. Or they can feature fixed glass walls to create a cosy space that still has a full view of your garden. There is also the option to have sliding glass walls (we will provide more information on this later in the post) that you can open up as and when its suits you.  

Traditional Verandas 

For those that want that traditional style – or want to incorporate an outdoor cover that will suit the age of their property – verandas are available in styles sympathetic to older buildings. You can have the convenience of a covered, heated area outside your house without having to compromise on your aesthetic. 

Contemporary Verandas 

Verandas are also available in more contemporary styles, which might be more suited to those with more modern style tastes or new-build homes. The frames of these verandas are made from aluminium with a powder paint coating, to create a matte effect- very much currently in style. 

Sliding Glass Walls 

If you want a super sleek, contemporary design consider quality bespoke glass verandas. Provided by reputable companies like Nationwide Home Innovations, these types of verandas not only have a beautiful aesthetic quality, but also provide a seamless link between the warmth of an enclosed space and the view of the garden.  

Ways To Accentuate your Veranda Space 

When you have your veranda installed, explore the option to include heating and lighting with your veranda. Having heating and lighting will give you even more use from your veranda as a social space, as you will be able to enjoy evenings outside when the night sets in. Don’t forget to choose comfortable seating and tables for people to gather on; you could even add a bar to serve drinks from!  

Potted plants, water fountains and other such accessories will help to add the finishing touches to your veranda space during the day. If you want your veranda area to be super cosy come the evening, you could add outdoor fairy lights, lanterns, and blankets so there is no reason to head back inside when the sun goes down.
