Carports are great way to boost your curb appeal and add both function and flair to your home. Not only do they provide shelter for your vehicle or outdoor furniture, but they also offer an opportunity to be creative with color and materials. With just a few simple touches, you can make your carport an extension of your home and a feature or focal point in your outdoor space. Here are some ideas to make your carport something you can’t help but smile about.
Adding a carport to your home instantly boosts its appeal. Take a cue from funky, mid-century modern design, and opt for a curved roof with bold colors. You can also create an eye-catching statement by employing a contrasting material, such as metal or wood. Choose an open-air carport to enjoy the summer breezes and natural light, or opt for a traditional, closed-in design that offers a more traditional look. Regardless of the look you choose, a carport can be an attractive addition to your home.
A carport is much more than just a parking space. It can be used as a sheltered outdoor gathering space for barbecues, lounging, dining or other activities. Use a carport to create an outdoor living area with comfortable patio furniture, attractive decor and an inviting atmosphere. You can also use it to store outdoor furniture or other items that don’t fit in the garage.
One of the best things about carports is that you can get as creative as you like with color and materials. Choose a bright color that stands out and adds a pop of color to your curb appeal. Or opt for a neutral tone and use decorative accents like planters or potted plants to add a splash of color. When it comes to materials, you have a lot of options. From metal to wood to vinyl, there’s a material for every budget and style.
Make your carport a feature or focal point of your outdoor space. Hang pendant lights from the ceiling, add some cozy seating or adorn it with a few pieces of art. A carport can also be a great place to hang holiday lights or set up an outdoor movie screen for family movie nights.
Don’t forget about the accessories! Make your carport an even more enjoyable space with outdoor rugs, curtains, and furniture. Adding a few accessories can also help protect your car from the elements. Choose a durable material like canvas or vinyl to help keep your car dry and protected.
A carport doesn’t have to feel like an afterthought. Make it an extension of your home by adding a few design elements that tie in with the overall look of your house. For example, if you have a modern home, opt for a contemporary carport with clean lines and modern materials. Or, if your house has a more traditional feel, consider a wooden carport with a pitched roof.
