The Art of Planning Your Perfect Outdoor Oasis
A home’s living space no longer ends at the patio doors. More homeowners are bypassing a simple deck or patio for an outdoor space that’s a true extension of their home. Outdoor living spaces are more than a trend—they’re a lifestyle upgrade. As more homeowners seek to blend indoor comfort with outdoor freedom, these spaces are becoming essential for relaxation, entertainment, and family bonding.
Plan Ahead for a Seamless Custom Home and Outdoor Living Space
Creating your dream outdoor oasis begins with strategic planning. By integrating your outdoor living space into your custom home design from the outset, you not only save money but also achieve a cohesive and functional layout. To make this process easier, we’ve compiled a handy checklist of key elements to consider during the planning stage of your custom home build.
- Expansive Patio Doors and Motorized Screens
Create a seamless transition between your indoor and outdoor spaces with expansive patio doors. Motorized screens add convenience, offering protection and ventilation at the touch of a button.
- Pre-Planned Plumbing and Electrical Fixtures
Ensure your outdoor space is ready for future enhancements like hot tubs or pools by pre-installing plumbing and electrical fixtures during construction.
- Functional and Attractive Structural Elements
Add charm and utility with structural elements like porch swings, pavilions, or pergolas. These features provide both interest and function, creating inviting spaces for relaxation and enjoyment. Overhead coverage, whether it’s extending the roofline or building a pavilion, enhances comfort and usability.
- Outdoor Kitchens with Built-in Gas Lines
An outdoor kitchen can transform your backyard into a gourmet paradise. Today’s popular outdoor kitchens include built-in grills, smokers, mini refrigerators, sinks, and countertops. Installing gas lines during construction ensures your space is ready to host your next BBQ bash.
- Durable and Stylish Flooring Options
Don’t overlook the importance of flooring in your outdoor space. Concrete and epoxy floors are not only durable but also add a sleek, modern touch that’s easy to maintain. Stamped concrete or stone, complemented by all-weather rugs, increases the comfort and aesthetic appeal of your space.
- Firepits and Fireplaces
Firepits and fireplaces are popular additions since they provide extra warmth and ambiance, encouraging homeowners to linger outside from Brewers’ opening day through the Packers’ post season. Comfortable, cozy furniture with pillows provides a finishing touch to any outdoor space.
