Tips for Planning an All-Season Outdoor Living Space



Creating an outdoor living space will give you an extra “room” to enjoy in all types of weather, even as the temperatures drop. You can start small with an inexpensive patio set and charcoal grill on a new deck, or go all out with a fully installed kitchen, fireplace, living room, or something in between. Whatever you desire for your space will depend on your budget and how you plan to use the space.

Here are some ideas from top home remodeler DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Reno on the must-have elements in your perfect outdoor living space that will allow you to enjoy your backyard in style with family and friends all year.

Transform the Existing Space

Designing the ideal all-season outdoor living area usually means developing a deck, porch, or screened-in porch into a room that can withstand the elements year-round. This can be a reasonably straightforward approach to increase the square footage of your home and enhance your quality of life. An outdoor room allows your family to go from indoors to outdoors and enjoy your yard throughout the year.

Add Cover

Your backyard might already have a patio umbrella to provide shade when the sun’s out, but turning the space into an all-season outdoor area, you’ll want to upgrade it to something more sturdy and weather-resistant. Consider a full-on cover installed, be it an awning or a roof. Not only does it provide shade but also protects you from the rain. You may have the option to enclose one side with a wall, which you can use to mount your heating device or a flatscreen TV. This allows you to enjoy the outdoors regardless of the weather outside.

Incorporate Lighting

Your home renovator can incorporate lighting to transform your outdoor area and make it more usable no matter the time of day. Illuminate outdoor cooking facilities to promote meal preparation, especially when hosting parties and get-togethers. Create visual interest and a sense of space expansion by uplighting trees or fencing in the backyard’s periphery. Add ornamental lighting to illuminate steps and paths for safety.

Bring the Comforts of the Indoors Outside

When designing your all-season outdoor space, think of it as an extension of your home. As such, be sure to include indoor items so you can create a setting that is just as comfortable, functional, and stylish as your home’s interior. To make a full outdoor living area, you might want to think about permanent features like built-in seating, a fire pit, a hot tub, or even an outdoor kitchen or bar. This area should be your little oasis, a place to unwind, connect with friends and family, and appreciate the great outdoors.
