Remodeling Your Home? Create An Outdoor Living Space

By Home Kitchenary | Last Updated: August 17, 2019

Outdoor living space

The desire for outdoor living space continues to increase with homeowners expressing preference to extend indoor spaces for a variety of purposes from entertainment to relaxation. Its return on investment (ROI) can be high, reaching up to 80% when it is time to sell according to Inman.com. High ROIs also depend on the quality of construction and its added value to your home. The bottom line is, investing in a few upgrades can increase your indoor living space and make your outdoor space a pleasant and comfortable zone.

Extend the Roof and Add Large Windows

If you have a patio, it is straightforward to increase your indoor space by extending your roof. Whether it is raining or sunny out there, you can make use of this space if there is protection over your heads. A retractable awning or a sun canopy is a feasible option to expand your roof. If you have enough money, consider getting an automatic canopy fitted with a weather sensor. It opens and closes automatically if there are changes in the weather such as too much wind. You can also add ceiling to floor windows that will protect you from the wind and the cold. Large windows allow light to enter and provide the perfect view to your garden.


Consider Types of Flooring

J Fisher Interiors recommends blending your outdoor space with your interior design by updating your floors. Use the same flooring that you use inside your homes not only to give the impression of a larger interior, but also for a stylish and neat appearance. For variety, look at different hues of flooring in the same material or in distinct finishes. Do you have lots of space? Divide areas into zones for cooking, entertaining, or relaxing using different kinds of floor finish. Furnish designated spaces with appropriate furniture and décor. Think of sturdy tables and chairs for patio dining or entertaining.

Change the Doors

To create a seamless indoor outdoor flow, think of upgrading your doors. You can do this by choosing bi-fold doors that open by folding in panels. When fully opened, you can enjoy a great view of your garden. It is also easy to move in and out of your patio when you have folding doors.  Moreover, they are practical and require little maintenance. Bi-fold doors are versatile and contemporary. They have a slim profile and are less visible than traditional patio doors.

Extending your indoor space towards the outdoors is not that difficult. With creativity and a good budget, you can make use of your backyard more often by adding a roof, upgrading floors and windows, and modifying doors.
