An Outdoor Living Area for your New Home or Backyard
While the concept of an outdoor living area in itself is not new, it is a concept that represents a whole new landscape. At one time, a simple dining set on a patio or a grill and a couple of chairs was enough. But today, many homeowners are looking for more. Often, an outdoor living area is almost as important as indoor living. Is it any wonder? Outdoor spaces have so much to offer!
An Outdoor Living Area Can…
Extend the floorplan of your home. If you’re pressed for square footage or need more room to entertain, outdoor living areas are a great alternative to an expensive remodel. This outdoor living area “addition” offers a spacious, shaded area to enjoy a relaxing family dinner or more formal extended gathering.
Improve your health. Being outdoors has several surprising health benefits and an outdoor living area gives you the opportunity to connect with the natural world. Let’s not forget that researchers have indicated being near or on water can also help lower stress and increase an overall sense of well-being. Thus building a Post & Beam Boat House on the lake (like this one below) is a solution that satisfies a multitude of checkboxes.
Increase the value of your home. Not only do outdoor living areas provide you the value of more family time outside, it is a surefire way to make more on your property should you ever decide to sell.
The nice thing about maximizing your outdoor living area is that there’s really no wrong way to do it. It’s a space that lets you exercise your creative license focusing on what works best for both you and your home. For some, this means outdoor kitchens and fireplaces. For others, pergolas, pavilions, and she-sheds. Whichever appeals to you the most, know that you can’t go wrong with maximizing your outdoor living area in some way, big or small – and the Timberhaven Team is here to help.
