Top Features to Consider for Your Outdoor Living Space

Outdoor living spaces are a great way to add value to your home. In fact, we have seen homes that feature an outdoor living space sell for 6 to 7 percent more than similar homes with a plain backyard. When building or renovating your outdoor living space, make sure it complements your home’s style and color scheme. You’ll also want to consider how your space will be used.

Outdoor Kitchen

The best outdoor kitchens offer a great combination of functionality and style. This can make it easier for you to prepare food and entertain guests outside. To create the perfect space, you need to consider the following elements: location, climate, materials, and layout. Once you have determined your needs, you can start planning for your dream outdoor kitchen. When building your outdoor kitchen, it is important to choose low-maintenance materials that are durable and weather-resistant. This will save you money in the long run and help keep your costs down. Another way to improve your outdoor kitchen is to choose the right color scheme. A monochromatic design can help create a modern and stylish look that is also practical for outdoor use. A gable roof is a common and popular choice for many outdoor kitchens, providing protection from the elements as well as ventilation. Moreover, a gable roof can be much cheaper to install than a flat roof, making it an ideal option for budget-conscious homeowners.

Built in Bar

A built in bar is ideal for those who love to entertain. It provides a convenient place to serve drinks and snacks, as well as storage space for glasses, bottles, and other necessities. It should have a variety of equipment, such as a washing sink, wine, spirits, and liqueur bottle displaying racks (shelves or cellar), refrigerator, and cash register. It also needs an adequate supply of liquor and glassware, including drinking straws, napkins, salvers, jugs, condiments, sugar, and other bar utensils. The best bars are designed to blend with the overall decor of the room. They should be aesthetically pleasing from top to bottom, as customers will look at them constantly. Whether you’re building or renovating an outdoor living space, a built in bar should be considered as one of the top features. They can make your home more enjoyable for family and friends, and can increase the value of your property as well.

Built in Grill Area

Whether you’re planning a new outdoor space or are renovating an existing one, a built in grill area is something you should consider. It offers a combination of indoor cooking convenience and smooth design to fit in seamlessly with your garden. A good built in grill will provide you with a range of features to help you cook your favourite meals, including easy-to-use ignition systems and extra hotplates for heating sauces and pan-based ingredients. They are also available in a variety of sizes and fuel sources, allowing you to create a bespoke outdoor kitchen that fits perfectly with your home. While a lot of people assume that a built in grill is just like a freestanding model, there are some big differences. You should be careful to check out the specifications and measurements before purchasing a built in grill, especially when it comes to ventilation.

Sound System

Sound is an important part of any event or gathering. The clarity of the audio can make or break a successful experience, so it’s important to invest in a good system that can deliver the sound you want. The best sound systems are able to offer stunning clarity and range no matter what type of music you’re listening to. They also feature a powerful speaker system that can handle the volume and bass you need for your entertainment. Whether you’re building an outdoor space or renovating an existing one, a great sound system is something you’ll want to consider. The right set of speakers can make any entertainment experience feel like a cinematic experience, but it’s important to choose the right size and type for your space.

Projector

Projectors are a great addition to any outdoor living space. They provide a way to watch movies, play games, or present presentations to a group of people. The best projectors for your outdoor living space will have a high resolution, excellent brightness, and a high contrast ratio. These features ensure that you get the clearest and best-looking image possible. You should also look for a lens that is recessed into the housing. This reduces the risk of burns when handling the unit. It will also be easier to align the screen with your projector. This is important because it can help ensure that you have the perfect aspect ratio. A projector can be expensive, so it’s important to consider your budget when making a purchase. You should also think about how often you will be using it.

Lighting

Having a well-lit outdoor living space is crucial for entertaining guests, resale value, and safety. In addition, the right lighting can also be used to enhance a deck or patio’s decor. The ideal architectural lighting doesn’t obscure outdoor features but gives people a new way to enjoy them by night.  To ensure a balanced lighting scheme, plan out fixtures for each purpose in advance and tag them accordingly. This way, you can easily remove one that doesn’t serve its purpose and replace it with a different light that does.

Covered Area

One of the most popular features for an outdoor living space is a covered area. It provides protection from the sun, rain, and snow. It also adds a nice look to the backyard. Covered areas can be built as a standalone structure or they can connect to the home’s main structure. They can be screened in or open and are often used as an additional living space for entertaining guests. These covered areas are often made from Ipe, a strong and naturally oily hardwood found in South America. They’re durable and look good when combined with other materials for an overall high-quality finish. A covered area should be designed to match the home’s existing aesthetic and functionality. Whether it’s a dining room, a lounge area, or a patio, it should have seating options for everyone in the family!
