Everybody loves spending time outside — until the cool season begins and activities need to be moved back inside. If you enjoy staying outside, you need an outdoor living space that shouldn’t be restricted to the warmer months.
With the expertise of a professional home remodeler, you can achieve a comfortable outdoor space to use in any season. DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Southern Rhode Island provides an overview on how to achieve the best all-season outdoor living space.
Add an Overhead Cover
The ideal outdoor living space should protect you come rain or shine. During the rainy or wet season, it’s best to have a covered outdoor room. A shade is a great temporary option, but installing a durable roof offers the best protection. Meanwhile, if you’re undertaking a major remodeling project, consider extending your roofline over your deck. This way, you can enjoy the space on hot days or rainy nights and achieve smooth indoor-outdoor living.
Make the Outdoors Warm and Cozy
The cold temperature is the primary reason people don’t use their outdoor living spaces in cooler months. Fortunately, there are many ways to warm it up. Installing a fireplace is a great way to make the outdoor area warm and cozy. Not only does this make your space feel like a real outdoor room, but it also adds a lot of character to your space. A hot tub is another popular addition, especially if you prefer immersing yourself in warm water. While it can be used in a drizzle, you may want to cover it with an umbrella so you can use it all year round.
Bring Indoor Comforts Outside
An all-season outdoor living space should have all the comforts of the indoors. Remember, the more comfortable your outdoor space is, the more likely you are going to use it. Since winter days are darker, it’s best to invest in solar and LED lighting. It’s also important to choose outdoor furniture that’s not only comfortable but also durable enough to withstand extreme weather. Wrought iron chairs are visually appealing and durable, but your home renovator may recommend adding upholstered sofas for increased comfort.
Transform Your Existing Space
Do you have an existing deck or porch? If so, you can use them as the foundation of your outdoor space. Even though you don’t have enough space for a full outdoor room, a covered porch can be beneficial in the long run. If you like inviting family and friends to your home, a five-foot outdoor living space already offers plenty of room for people to sit and walk by one another without any trouble. On the other hand, a front porch gathering space allows you to greet your neighbors from a safe distance.
