Outdoor living areas are ideal for homeowners living in warmer climates like California or the American Southwest. Since many homes in warmer climates have already adopted Spanish home design, these outdoor living areas increase a home’s usable space simply by extending beyond the four walls! If you’re looking for new ways to transform your patio, garden, or backyard into an outdoor living space, here are 5 design ideas:
Custom cedar furniture or outdoor furniture.
Just because it’s an outdoor living space doesn’t mean you have to rely on plastic patio furniture. More and more furniture manufacturers are creating stunning pieces that you would normally find in a living or dining room with a purpose for the outdoors.
Specially designed cedar wood furniture or patio furniture is weatherproof, and quick-drying and antibacterial fabrics further protect your outdoor area. If your outdoor area is protected by an overhang, outdoor rugs are a great way to bring the outdoors indoors and make it feel like an extension of the indoors.
Fountains and fire pits
To get the most out of your outdoor space, it needs to become a place where you feel comfortable and enjoy spending time. Design elements such as fountains and fireplaces are a great way to add a bit of livability to your outdoor space.
Barbecue Kitchen
The kitchen is usually the centerpiece of any home. By moving the timeless kitchen to an outdoor area, you can bring the heart of the home into the kitchen! A barbecue kitchen is the perfect addition to any outdoor living area. A grill kitchen is much more than a simple grill, and provides everything a home cook needs to prepare a great meal for family and friends. If your outdoor living space is large enough, an entire dining room can be set up next to the grill kitchen so all the fun can happen outside.
Outdoors.
Movable walls
There are doors that can be folded down completely, removing an entire wall from one of the rooms in your home! There is no better way to connect the inside and outside of a home than to remove the barrier that separates them. A movable wall is ideal for large patios or decks, where the two living areas can blend seamlessly. It can also provide a fantastic view of the backyard or pool in the summer.
Timeless and classic — these are the most popular descriptions for white kitchen cabinets, because they fit almost any theme or style of living. Plus, white cabinets leave more room for a variety of tones and colors on the floor, walls, and even fixtures.
Antiques and aging
Instead of settling for a simple coat of white paint, consider adding texture, such as aged or glazed white cabinets. This involves several strategies: scratching and beating the cabinets after they have been painted white.
You probably have room above the garage for a nice bedroom addition, or even in the attic for a playroom or nursery for a growing family.
These two particular remodeling projects won’t affect your existing space, and the only thing that might encroach on your living space is the area you have to give up for the stairs to the new room
