How to Create an Outdoor Room that Feels like an Extension of your Home


Building the perfect outdoor room can take time and a lot of hard work, but the results may increase the value of your home and bring you hours of outdoor enjoyment with friends and family. Your outdoor room can have many functions. Four Seasons offers design techniques and advice on creating your perfect outdoor space that feels like an extension of your home to enjoy day and night. 

Creating your Space 

  • What is the primary function of the room? For example, will it be a quiet reading room or a family gathering room with a TV? 
  • Do you want wood floors, rugs, or carpets? What type of flooring compliments the function of the room?
  • Add a ceiling or glass sunroof, walls, furniture, and lighting that coincide with your home's architectural style, interior design, ambiance, and color scheme. 
  • Will you need to install heaters, air condition, or fans?
  • Consider the maximum number of guests you're likely to entertain. This can be friends, family, and even children. Then think about how you will serve meals and the type of meals.
  • Finish the space with accessories and decor, which can be changed and rearranged over time. If the outdoor room is next to an exterior wall, consider adding mirrors, pieces of sculpture, or wall-mounted planters.

Do You Own A Pergola? Here’s How To Keep Your Structure Well-Maintained

A pergola can boost your home's aesthetics and block out the scorching sun during the summer months. But like any other home addition, you need to maintain it to ensure it stays in great condition for years to come. This guide will give you essential maintenance tips to ensure your pergola keeps being a valuable asset to your outdoor living space. Are Pergolas Easy To Maintain? Caring for your pergola is pretty straightforward, but you'll still need to consistently maintain it to extend its lifespan. This is especially true if you own a wooden pergola susceptible to weather-induced wear, termites, and water damage. However, structures made of vinyl or aluminum, like our EliteWood Pergolas , are much more resistant to these damages and require less effort to keep in great condition. No matter which type of material you choose for your home, though, regular care can help you maintain your structure for longer and make it an enjoyable feature of your home for a long time.
