Sleeping porches are perfect for relaxing on a summer evening.  A sleeping porch is a great way to relax while overlooking a scenic area of your property; I love the idea of creating a sleeping porch for a beach house as well.  Here are some of my favorite sleeping porch ideas.

I love how this sleeping porch overlooks the water.

A sleeping porch is usually screened in and located on a deck or balcony.  You can design your sleeping porch for ground level entry or a higher storey.  The key to selecting the perfect area to build your sleeping porch?  Location, location, location!

Wicker details and open windows make this boathouse’s sleeping porch a dream.  When selecting furniture for your sleeping porch, take your time to shop for a daybed or an original wrought-iron frame for an original look.
