Planning for an Outdoor Room?

An outdoor room can enhance the beauty of your home and help increase your property value. However, creating an outdoor room takes planning. So expense, design and functionality are all things you want to consider.

Budget – This will naturally be the first thing you think about when you’re planning an outdoor room. Unfortunately for most people, the sky is not the limit, so how much you have to spend will directly determine how elaborate your outdoor room will be.
Design – Take into consideration whether you want an open air room or an enclosed room. Open air rooms are terraces or decks with no cover. While this type of outdoor room is nice, it is limited as far as livability goes. You can increase livability in an open air room by adding a cover such as an awning, pitched roof or trellis. An enclosed seasonal room gives you more outdoor living options because it offers protection from the rain and other harsh conditions.

Planning an outdoor room can be overwhelming. Don’t worry, if you don’t know where to start, you can enlist the help of the experts at Outdoor Environments. Contact us today!

It’s Time for a Four-Season Room

To enjoy Mother Nature and all her beauty, a four-season room is a good home addition to make. While decks, patios and gazebos are great for spring and summer enjoyment, a four-season room doesn’t have any time restraints.

A four-season room is beneficial for a number of reasons:

  • It can be enjoyed 365 days a year, regardless of the weather.
  • Just like the rest of the home, it can be heated or cooled for your comfort.
  • These rooms are perfect for storing outdoor furniture during the winter. You can also furnish a four-season room with high-quality furniture that isn’t fit for the outdoors.
  • The room can serve as an extra living space if guests are plentiful during the holiday season.
  • Many times, custom features like a fireplace or floor-to-ceiling windows can be incorporated.

Maximizing Your Outdoor Room View

Most people think that plants, flowers, gardens and beautiful landscapes are natural wonders that can only be enjoyed from outside. However, no homeowner should ever underestimate the beauty of Mother Nature from inside. Have you ever noticed that with the right room addition, like a seasonal sunroom or screened porch, you can easily enjoy a spectacular view of your garden from inside? Here is a couple ideas for you to keep in mind:

  • Plan your outdoor landscape from inside instead of from outside. You’ll have a better view of what areas can andcannot be seen from inside.
  • Strategically place colorful trees, plants, shrubs and flowers where they can be seen from inside your outdoor room.
  • When decorating your outdoor room, take into consideration the colors that appear in your outdoor landscape.
  • One of the best design tips here is to keep your outdoor room neutral in color, that way the bright shades outside will pop even more.
