5 Features to Enhance Your Outdoor Living Space!
Transforming your backyard deck into a comfortable and functional retreat can significantly enhance both your home’s value and your everyday enjoyment. By thoughtfully selecting the right features, you can create an outdoor living space perfect for relaxing, entertaining, and making memories with friends and family throughout the year. Here are five popular deck additions that can help you design the ultimate backyard oasis:
1. Built-In Fire Feature
A fire table, fire pit, or outdoor fireplace adds warmth and ambiance, making your space usable year-round (weather dependent or throw on a full or partial roof cover, see #4 ). It creates a cozy focal point for gatherings and relaxation. If you have access to natural gas, even better.
Forget about running out to fill up bottles of propane, we can plumb in a gas line with a
dedicated shut off to make it easy peasy. Let there be fire!
2. Integrated Lighting
Strategically placed lighting—such as deck post lights, accent lighting in your stair risers and string lights—enhances safety and sets the mood. Smart lighting systems can even be controlled remotely and on timer switches! Let there be light!
3. Outdoor Kitchen & Bar
A fully equipped kitchen with a grill, fridge, and prep space transforms your deck into the ultimate entertainment area. Adding a bar with seating makes hosting even more convenient.
4. Covered Deck
An awning, pergola, or roof cover provides shade and protection from the elements, making the space more versatile in different weather conditions. If you appreciate barbecuing and entertaining then a partial or fully covered outdoor living space might just be for you. Why prep your deck for winter when you could leave all your decor and furniture set up and enjoy your outdoor living space year round!
5. Built-In Hot Tub or Water Feature
A hot tub integrated into the deck or a water feature like a fountain or small pond adds a touch of luxury, relaxation, and visual appeal. Imagine walking out onto your deck and popping right into that hot tub, add a roof cover overtop and you’re all set!
Whether you choose one, some or all five features, you’ll be sure to add value to your deck and outdoor living space. Which features are you choosing for your space?
