Dear ,

It's May and ideas for “outdoor living” start to fill our thoughts. Having friends over for a cookout, or maybe an evening bonfire, seems like something we need to do.

This month we discuss how to create the perfect indoor-outdoor space that the whole family will enjoy. Read on to see what ideas we’ve compiled and how you can incorporate them into your home.

Sincerely,

Summer is here, which means you’re probably spending more time at home.

Whether you’re entertaining out-of-town guests or just looking for a way to maximize your home’s space, creating an open and relaxing space that combines the interior of the house with the great outdoors is a great idea.

Here are some tips on how to make the most of an indoor-outdoor living area:

Create Defined Spaces
To get started, think about who will be using the space and how. Will it be an area to watch a baseball game in the afternoon? Is this where you’ll drink your morning coffee? Maybe you want an outdoor dining room for weeknight family dinners. Or will you need a multifunctional space?

Determining what the space is for will make it much easier to plan the layout and what features you’d like to include. You’ll also want to think of ways to bring the existing interior of your home outdoors to create a cohesive appearance. Some ideas are using similar flooring materials and color schemes in your decorations in your new outdoor living space.

Extend the Patio
If your outdoor space is right off your home, it may be a good idea to extend the patio so you can have more shaded, covered areas. Having the option to be out of the hot sun will make it more likely that you will use the space more often. 

If you can’t extend the patio, you could also build a large pergola that could be equipped with a heating and cooling system to allow for year-round use. Pergolas can be large enough to accommodate an outdoor kitchen or living room and will be a space the whole family can enjoy.
