Most homeowners take pride in their homes and with spring on the way the best way to entertain family and friends is through outdoor living spaces. But spending time outside of your home doesn’t mean giving up all the creature comforts that you crave. The right set up will afford you the ability to spend more time in the wonderful warm and sunny springtime weather. With a little help you will be able to turn your porch, patio, or yard into an outdoor living area that is sure to exceed everyone’s expectations.

1.)   Utilize Bold Colors: Earthy tones might work well for your living room but they will get lost in an outdoor space. Black may be a very trendy and chic design style but it will get extremely hot in direct sunlight. Utilizing bold colors in your outdoor living area is a great way to add some style without having the area heat up in the sun.

2.)   Incorporate Dramatic Lighting: Enjoying your outdoor living space doesn’t need to be limited to daylight hours. You can really lighten up the area and set the mood by incorporating some dramatic lighting. Effective lighting will make your outdoor living area more inviting while also making it safer to enjoy at the same time.

3.)   Outdoor Kitchens Are A Must: In order to make your outdoor living area perfect it is a must that it has an outdoor kitchen. With the right set up you can do so much more than just BBQ. You can incorporate a grill, stove, fridge, sink, prep areas, and even a pizza oven. You will be able to produce an entire meal while entertaining and socializing with your family and friends.

4.)   Fireplaces And Fire Pits Will Warm Up The Space: Adding a fireplace or fire pit is a great way to captivate your guests and provide an area for people to congregate. They will warm up the area and also afford the area with more light for nighttime entertainment and relaxation.

5.)   Water Features Are Serene: A serene water feature can really transform almost any space into a tranquil and tropical paradise. Many hardware stores and nurseries sell a variety of sizes and options perfect for any space. There are pedestal options and even models that can be mounted on a wall.

6.)   Comfortable Seating Is Very Important: Your choice of seating can make or break your outdoor living area. If people can’t sit down and relax on comfortable seating they simply will not enjoy the area. The right seating options can make the area seem more intimate and inviting.
