Incorporating outdoor living with indoor spaces is in nearly every homeowner’s remodeling wishlist, which accounts for the popularity of features like skylights, patios and outdoor decks. Another that’s not quite popular is California rooms. In today’s post, interior remodeling company DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Ogden shares insight on California rooms, and why it’s worth considering having one in your home.
What Is a California Room?
A California room combines elements of indoor and outdoor spaces, making it more like a transitional space than an actual room — think of it as a three-walled room or a recessed patio. The point of a California room is to create a space that has the features of a typical room, from furniture to electronics, but with the elements of outdoor living that can only be provided by an open space.
While there are other ways to achieve the indoor/outdoor experience in a home such as sunrooms and elaborate patios, California rooms are unique in that they’re designed with indoor remodeling in mind. For example, where patios require weather-resistant furniture and outdoor-specific decor, California rooms can have things you’d put in an enclosed indoor space. You can also choose to make your California room a common room or a private space.
Why Should You Get a California Room?
So should you get a California room as part of your next home remodel? The answer depends on whether you want to add openness to your home, but not necessarily sacrificing a room for it. Since the space isn’t as exposed to the elements, you can convert a bedroom, a family room or a bathroom for this purpose. Patio doors can be installed if you wish to keep the room warm during the winter season.
A California room brings elements that one can expect from an open space, such as ample ventilation and natural lighting, and the benefits they bring: less reliance on daytime electrical lighting, as well as the health benefits of regular daytime cycles and fresh air.
