Cozy Sleeping Porches For A Perfectly Relaxing Summer

Back in the day when there was no air conditioning, sleeping porches were the coolest and most wonderful place where you could sleep on hot summer nights. Now their usefulness is limited but they remain a nostalgic feature, especially great if you want to grab a nap with a fresh breeze.

A rustic sleeping porch with sliding doors is a great feature for a log cabin. Take a nap and leave the doors closed if the weather is not friendly and you can still feel close to nature and admire the views. This one has a cozy and rustic look.

On a spacious porch there’s plenty of room for two beds so you don’t have to share your spot with anyone. Opt for day beds and hang them from the ceiling. Use them as sofas during the day and cozy sleeping beds at night or whenever you feel like taking a nap.

Add a little bit of color to your cozy porch. Paint the bed frame a bold shade like this coral. By the way, it looks really cozy to have an actual bed on the porch, with headboard, nightstand and everything.

If you have the space, you can turn your sleeping porch into a second family room or bedroom. Some rattan furniture would really complete the décor.

It would be great to have floor-to-ceiling windows to cover two adjacent walls so you can admire the panoramic views. But don’t forget the curtains or shades so you can comfortably take a nap during the day.
