There's no denying that Verandahs are a dramatic option to improving the outdoor space available on your property, no matter what you plan on using it for. The options are limitless, and Verandahs can be used for anything from carports, to beautiful outdoor dining areas. When used as a pergola, verandahs can be a gorgeous, seamless link from house to garden. Alternatively, you could even use them as a patio area, which can be used all through the year. With a huge variety of styles and finishes to choose from, Verandah Builders Melbourne can help build the Verandah of your dreams.

Verandah Designs
To stay true to definition, the space will be located outdoors, professional verandah contractors, the right design, and sympathetic buildings can create a verandah that feels like part of the house. Customisable touches like screens, and pillars can give you the personal touch you want, while also giving you the chance to express yourself creatively when selecting the design of your Verandah.

One of the biggest advantages with Verandahs is that it's incredibly flexible when it comes to designs, thanks to the variety of different styles and materials that can be used. Basically, you can add a verandah to any property, whether it's traditional, or ultra-modern. There is also a variety of roof materials that you can use including, but not limited to:
  • Insulated Roofing,
  • Glass,
  • COLORBOND,
  • Tiles.

You can also have many different styles of roofs such as:
  • Flat Roof,
  • Bull Nose,
  • Curved Roofs,
  • Gables Roof,
  • Even a combination of Roofs

Many professional verandah contractors include the gutters when building a verandah, this ensures water does not back into your home. To even further customise your Verandah, there are a number of different flooring materials for them as well, examples are beautiful, timeless timber floors, or if you plan on doing a lot of garden work in yours, you go for an easy to clean, concrete floor.

Verandahs don’t have to just be used in the summer

While homeowners across Australia enjoy their Verandahs through the warmer months, many of them retreat inside once the cool weather hits. With a few modifications, you can enjoy your verandah all throughout the year.

Keeping your Verandah warm
One of the main reasons people stop using their verandah in the cooler months, is simply because it’s too cold for them to enjoy. This is an easily fixable problem though, all you need is some form of outdoor heating. Some fantastic choices include outdoor fireplaces, and patio heaters. The heaters can be powered by electricity, or natural gas depending on your personal preference.

Outdoor fireplaces can be a great option, as they come in a range of designs and sizes to suit the style of your verandah. While a wood fire powers most fireplaces, many kinds run on natural gas, or eco fuel. If you had your Verandah Contractor install ceiling fans, you can run them in reverse to help circulate the warm air around your verandah.

Shelter your Verandah
In general, the design of your Verandah usually means it provides more shelter than most outdoor areas, but you can always improve this by having your verandah contractor installing outdoor blinds. These are likely in the front, and sides of the verandah to help block out wind, rain, and the cold can make being outside in winter less than enjoyable. There are many options for materials when it comes to blinds, so you’ll be sure to find a style that suits you.

Light It Up

While many Verandah Builders will say that adding light fixtures is impractical, there’s no reason why you can’t add a personal touch with beautiful lighting.  When draped from the roof or support poles, fairy lights can add a magical touch to any verandah. Light sources such as; candles, torches or lanterns can add a romantic touch. Many people will use floor or table lamps for localised light that not only creates atmosphere, but it also puts out enough light to read, or have dinner. For the perfect ambience, try using lamps that can be dimmed.

While many people just use any old lawn chairs in their Verandah, using the right outdoor furniture can really bring everything together. There is a huge variety to choose from when it comes to outdoor furniture, and the possibilities are endless.

  • Ottomans
  • Bench Seats
  • Side Tables
  • Coffee Tables
  • Hammocks
  • Dining sets
  • Outdoor Lounges
  • Daybeds

You can also mix and match what the furniture and cushions are made of to give everything a unique, personal touch.

  • Steel
  • Wood
  • Plastic
  • Wicker
  • Glass

Are just some of the materials to choose from, don’t be afraid to mix and match them as well

Like the perfect outfit, accessories can complete a Verandah

One the Professional Verandah Builders have left, and it’s time to decorate the easiest way to do so is to accessorise. The beauty of this, is no matter the budget you can do anything you want. Some examples of accessories are:

  • Cushions
  • Throw rugs
  • Table linens
  • Outdoor rugs
  • Artwork
  • Candle holders
  • Ornaments

You have an endless number of options when it comes to expressing yourself with your new verandah. Take your time in selecting each element, and soon enough, you too can enjoy the fresh air in your beautiful new Verandah.

Verandah life: Express Yourself With Your New Verandah P1

While a verandah can be a great addition to your home, designing one that you’ll be able to enjoy for years to come can be tricky.  Just like with everything else home oriented, there are a huge variety of styles and design options to choose from.  With today’s technology, and the help of professional Verandah Builders like Timber Decking Now, you can get a Verandah that fits you and your family’s lifestyle, style and budget.

It’s simply a matter of knowing where to start.

Choosing The Right Verandah


When it comes to choosing the right style of Verandah for your home, the first thing you should consider is how large you want yours to be.

Do you want a small Verandah at the back of the house?

Would you like your Verandah to be at the front of your house, or to wrap around one side, or even the entire house?


You should also consider how many people are going to be using the Verandah on a regular basis, as well as what sort of furniture you plan on having with it.  You will obviously want a Verandah that won’t feel cramped when it’s being used. If you can’t seem to make up your mind, we are equipped with the knowledge to help you make the best choice possible.

You should also consider what sort of material you would like your Verandah to be built with. Timber is the most common option, though there are some Verandah Builders that can use other materials for floors and roofing. 

Roofing

The roof is an important component to your Verandah, and there are a number of options when it comes to materials, and styles of Veranda Roofs. For a smooth transition between the roof of your home and your Verandah, go with a roof material similar in colour to your homes, and select a design that compliments the roof on your home. Many professional Verandah Builders know how to build many different roofs styles such as:

  • Bull nose
  • Skillion Roof
  • Gable Roof
  • Flat Roofs
  • Hipped roof

The Personal Touch: Decorating Your Verandah

When it comes to decorating your Verandah, with so many options and possibilities, the sky is the limit.

Grow Your Decor

One popular, and gorgeous option to Verandah décor is using potted plants and flowers. Potted plants are particularly useful because they’re completely portable, which means you can design or alter the layout in minutes. Of course, you’ll want to select plants that will thrive, providing beautiful greenery and blooms but you should also consider the pot itself. Pots provide a “frame” to the plants, and can even become a feature themselves. Size does matter, you’ll want them to be large enough to grow happy, healthy plants but not so large that they get in the way or overwhelm your Verandah.
