2020 has been a complicated year, to say the least. Just because the world at large remains more complex than we’re accustomed to, doesn’t mean we can’t try and enjoy ourselves. With the possibility of a stay-cation, a legitimate reality this summer, it is probably a good idea to outfit your outdoor living space with all of the modern-day comforts possible! Here we are going to cover some of the must-have upgrades for your outdoor space.
- Paint or StainFirst things first, if you already have a porch or deck space, a fresh coat of stain or paint can liven up the presentation of the whole area. The costly expense of a remodel or installation may not be in the cards at the moment. So, instead, choose a beautiful color that will make your pre-existing space sparkle!
- LightingKeep your steps, walkways, and fire features lit during the twilight hours to ensure safety for all, and to keep your aesthetic as visible as possible all day and night! Illuminating your features, with the perfect outdoor lighting ambiance, can really brighten-up your outdoors.
- Projector ScreenSummer is one of the highpoints of binge-watch season, so take advantage of the beautiful weather by setting up a projector on your porch. This is a unique & high profile way to enjoy your summer season that will keep the party coming back to your spot!
- Fire Feature Fun!No outdoor living space is complete without a fire feature! You can have a permanent, gas-fueled fireplace installed, a rustic brick fireplace, a fire bowl, or many other fabulous features installed which will give your space warmth and adorn it with light!
- Roof coverageA pergola, gazebo, or awning can turn an already existing space into a consistently habitable area, or could be the finishing touch to your current construction.
- Screen PorchesA screened-in porch provides the perfect amount of cover to stay sheltered from the bugs and pests, which can really make a summer party a drag. This option keeps your guests protected while having the ventilation of completely open space. Screened-in areas are the best of both worlds when trying to integrate indoor and outdoor designs into your home's overall design styles.
