Spring is the best time for planning how you will make your outdoor living space more inviting and user friendly. As winter fades and warmer weather sets in, homeowners set their sights on outdoor options for remaking and remodeling their decks and back yards. One of the most popular trends is the concept of bringing the indoors outside by making full and better use of decks and patios. The infusion of indoor comforts into a balmy outdoor environment maximizes your living space and allows you to create a new area that is both inviting and functional.
The best way to start with such a renovation is to consider your traditional backyard, deck, and patio to be a blank canvas, and envision the comfort, space, and effect you want to achieve. Just as with your living room, create an area for family and friends to gather. Turn that communal area into a comfort zone both for your guests or your own lazy days outside. A pergola over an open space provides options for adding shade features, lights, even a ceiling fan. And when you furnish the space with weather resistant tables and chairs, decorative railings, and accent pieces, you add color and beauty.
High-tech and efficient deck systems are also a smart way to go to improve outdoor space. Home automation has gone outdoors with surround sound, television, and even full entertainment centers now equipped for outdoor use. Whether you want to blast that party playlist or watch a doubleheader while grilling, a tech-savvy patio or deck is one of the best ways to use your outdoor space.
Just as comfort and technology have migrated outdoors, so has the kitchen. Standalone barbecue grills have been replaced by full cooking areas, complete with burners and ovens ready for pizza or even whole turkeys. Refrigerators, sink areas, islands, prep stations, and even trashcans and storage space are the new evolution of the weekend barbecue. Upgrading the one-trick grill into a full-fledged kitchen is an easy and smart way to both add value and make outdoor living part of your day-to-day and not simply a treat to be had on the weekends.
