Interior decorating is an important part of making a house into a home. But what about the outdoors? How does your home landscaping aesthetic reflect your family’s style? There are a few ways in which a great-looking functional outdoor living design can complete a home. Let’s take a look at a few options.
What is Outdoor Living?
Rockland County NY Outdoor Living Contractor
Spending time outside is a staple of American life, especially in the spring, summer, and fall here in lower New York State. If you don’t have a deck, patio, pool area, or outdoor structure you’ll likely be left dragging chairs from the inside to the outside just to sit and enjoy some sunshine. “Outdoor Living” refers to areas of our home landscape design that we can use for everyday life activities. Take an outdoor kitchen for example.
Outdoor kitchens combine the best of both the indoors and outdoors in an enjoyable fresh air setting. Instead of grilling and going inside for meals, why not do all the cooking and eating outdoors when the weather is good? When you have a grill, stovetop, sink, and fridge all in one location outdoors, you can do it all while spending time together during the nice weather months of the year.
What are my Options for Outdoor Living Designs?
You can get pretty creative when it comes to spending more time together outside. Some of the most common options include:
- custom pool design
- outdoor structures (pergola house, cabana, etc)
- bar & dining area
- outdoor kitchens
- patio areas
- outdoor fireplaces
- outdoor showers
- hot tubs
If you pick one or all of these the point is that you’ll be spending more time outside. Read a book by the pool or have a drink with friends at your cabanas bar area. When your backyard becomes the number one party spot for you and your families you’ll see what is truly meant by outdoor lifestyles.
Summer is Half Over, Have you Made any Updates?
Whether we want to think about it or not August is nearly upon us and before you know it the kids will be heading back to school, vacation season will have come to an end, and the temperature will begin to drop. But you still have time to make some changes this summer season as you can also enjoy any update well into October. Outdoor fireplaces can be used nearly all year and that makes them a great choice for both the spring, summer, and fall. Keep bugs away with a fireplace or firepit in the hot months of the year and enjoy the outdoors during cool nights or the fall.
