We’ve all seen them — backyards that feel a bit forgotten. Maybe it’s an open patch of lawn, a tired concrete slab, or an unused space that doesn’t quite live up to its potential. But with the right verandah design, these underwhelming areas can become beautiful, functional outdoor retreats.
At Innovative Verandahs, we’ve helped hundreds of homeowners across Melbourne and beyond transform their outdoor spaces — just in time for family dinners, birthday celebrations, or a quiet cup of tea on a crisp morning. Here are just a few stunning transformations to get you inspired for your own verandah project.
Project One: From Plain Patio to Entertainer’s Dream
Before: A small paved area with no protection from sun or rain. Limited use during the year and zero appeal for entertaining.
After: A sleek, modern verandah with insulated roofing, built-in lighting, and ample space for a large dining table and lounge setting. Now used for everything from Sunday BBQs to festive family celebrations.
Project Two: An Unused Side Yard Finds Its Purpose
Before: A long, narrow strip of land down the side of the house — too small for play, too open for storage, and generally wasted space.
After: A fully covered side verandah or carport for further storage and an extra garage, no wasted space!
💡 Pro Tip: Side verandahs are a great way to expand usable space without touching your main backyard!
Project Three: Building the Aussie Dream from Scratch
Before: A brand-new home with a big empty yard and no shade or shelter — waiting for that final touch.
After: A custom-designed verandah seamlessly connected to the home with Stratco roofing, timber decking, and space for both dining and lounging. It’s now the heart of the home.
