mountain house decor ideas from this screen porch include a sofa and chairs in a light upholstery. Throw pillows and an afghan bring in a punch of bright orange that complements the muted teal millwork. A large white-and-neutral striped area rug and a pair of chevron-print throw pillows add visual interest through pattern. And though upholstered in a light fabric, a curved upholstered bench with deep, plush tufting makes a bold statement. An antique, simple wood desk holds a chunky glass lamp and a large copper pot holding a green plant. A large modern coffee table with a wood top and streamlined metal base, along with wood variety of stools and small side tables, complete the space.
