Creating an outdoor living room for extended space
Rather than extending the footprint of your house, why not consider an outdoor room?
AI summary
Extend your home's living space by creating a versatile outdoor living room. Options range from simple covered decks to comprehensive kitset garden rooms or complete alfresco areas with kitchens and fireplaces.
For a seamless indoor-outdoor flow, create a level threshold and use cohesive flooring. Modern weatherproof furnishings and outdoor rugs bring indoor comfort outside. Features like operable louvred roofs and heating can create a valuable, year-round extension of your home for relaxing and entertaining.
