Spending time with family and friends on your deck or patio during the weekend is fun. But in most parts of the country, you’ll have no choice but to stay indoors during the fall and winter seasons. This can be as long as six or seven months. Sometimes, this can be dull and uneventful except during the holidays. Fortunately, it’s possible to design and create an outdoor living space usable in all seasons of the year Top home renovator DreamMaker shares what you need to do.
Bring a Few Indoor Comforts Outdoors
Outdoor space for any season must be designed with many of the comforts and conveniences you’d find indoors. For instance, winter days tend to be darker because of the limited sunlight, so you need to have adequate lighting in your outdoor space if you’re planning to use it for that particular time of the year. And while windows help bring in natural light, you should also consider shutters and curtains if you want additional privacy.
Redesign Your Existing Deck or Patio
In many cases, existing porches, decks, and patios are used as the foundation when remodeling outdoor spaces. You can consider transforming them into an all-season outdoor room that befits your ideas and preferences for outdoor living. For instance, your porch can turn into a nice, shaded gathering space while also allowing you to greet your next-door neighbors at a comfortable distance. Even if you only have just a few feet of space, you have more than enough room to redesign it according to your needs! Working with a professional interior and exterior home remodeler helps to ensure you won’t get overwhelmed with all the planning you need to do.
Ensure You Get Enough Warmth
When designing your all-year outdoor living space, you should add features and design elements that ensure warmth and keep out the cold weather. One of the best ways to achieve this in your renovation is to add a traditional fireplace for character and functionality. You can also consider a wood or gas fire pit if this isn’t up your design alley. This can effectively provide warmth while also giving you a place to roast marshmallows. You can even consider portable gas or propane heaters that are easy to set up and use.
