Summer days offer many opportunities for fun and recreation. If you would rather chill at home, enjoying the light and warmth of the outdoors, you just need to blend your living spaces to get the most from indoor-outdoor living. A trusted bath and kitchen remodeler in the area, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Northwest Arkansas, shares some tips.

Indoor-Outdoor Living Design Ideas

Go for wider door openings.

A simple French door is nice. But if you want to create a seamless connection between your interior and outdoor spaces, go for something bigger. Having a row of folding glass doors installed between your home interior and patio is a much better idea. This not only allows for smoother traffic flow, perfect for hosting a large party, it also makes it feel like one large space instead of two.

Use a cohesive color palette.

You can easily blend spaces together through color. If you already have a color scheme picked out for your interior living space, use the same palette for the outdoor space. Note that you don’t have to match the colors exactly. Using one or two colors is usually enough to create harmony between the two spaces. And to establish an even stronger connection, you can also repeat the patterns and textures you’re using in one room in the other. If you need assistance deciding which colors, textures and patterns go together, you can consult the skilled design team at DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Northwest Arkansas, the area’s leading home remodeler.

Keep the floor of both spaces level.

Blended spaces work better when you’re not reminded that the two are separate rooms. To give the illusion of being in one large room, the partitions used between the two spaces are often made of glass. To ensure a smoother transition from your home interior to the patio, keep the floor even. This means no steps between the two spaces. You should also avoid using two different floor materials or patterns – the idea is to remove anything that sets the two rooms apart.
