Spring is around the corner for those of us living in the Midwest and it’s a great time to start planning your outdoor living space for your custom home. Here in the Midwest we really embrace the warmer months and the best way to really get the most out of this beautiful time of year is to think creatively about ways that you can utilize your outdoor space. Having a luxurious outdoor living space is a great way to create a sanctuary for you and your family at the end of a long day; entertain friends and family, and create a comfortable and beautiful space for a casual business related get together.
Outdoor Lighting
Outdoor entertaining can start during the daylight hours and go well beyond sunset. Keep the party going (and safe) well into the evening by thinking about outdoor lighting. There are a many beautiful options that can add magnificent ambiance as you entertain your guests.
Outdoor Fireplace
Speaking of ambiance, an outdoor fireplace or fire pit adds a great atmospheric element. The warm glow from the fire creates a cozy atmosphere for your home that brings people together for great conversation and connection.
Outdoor Kitchen
What’s the next best thing to have at a party other than your awesome guests? Awesome food of course! Having a well-designed kitchen integrated into your outdoor space is a great way to enhance your entertaining experience. By adding a refrigerator, wine cooler, and pantry to your outside kitchen you can minimize having to go back into the house for food items and allow you to do a great job of hosting and enjoy the night with your guests.
Outdoor Entertainment
Take your outdoor experience to the next level by installing outdoor all weather televisions and wireless bluetooth speakers. Imagine being able to spend an afternoon with friends watching the game or a movie or listening to calming music while reading a book. By including outdoor entertainment in the design of your custom home, you can add wonderful value of your home both practically and in your level of enjoyment of your new home. By integrating an outdoor kitchen into the design of your custom home you will create wonderful memories that will last a lifetime.
