Outdoor Living - Defining your outdoor space

Creating an outdoor room offers additional living space for entertaining friends and family or the perfect oasis for relaxation. Whatever your needs, there are many outdoor living options to explore.

Brick paver or a concrete pad can offer cost effective solutions to defining your outdoor space. These can be challenging do-it-yourself projects, but both offer beautiful options for patios.  

To further define your outdoor living space, create a custom and stylish boundary using fencing or latticework. If you are feeling a bit more creative, try using landscaping to not only define your space but add color, texture, and appeal.  

Add luxury and focal points with a gazebo or pergola. You can add colorful curtains to enclose the spaces and offer a shady retreat on hot summer days.  

Awnings are a great way to add design and shelter allowing you to enjoy your outdoor space even in inclement weather.  

Consider adding arches and trellises to create additional focal points and separate areas according to function.  

However you choose to define your outdoor living space, don’t be afraid to be creative with your design. Adding furniture and decorative accents will help to finish off your space.
