How Do You Plan an Outdoor Living Space?

When you are planning your outdoor living space, there are many things that you’ll want to consider before getting into the process. Creating a list of these factors can help you get a better idea of what is most important to you. You can then prioritize your wants and get a more concrete idea of your vision. Think of the following to then determine your outdoor living goals.

  • What is your outdoor living space lacking? Think about where your outdoor living spaces need the most improvement and go from there.
  • How do you see yourself using your space? Imagine yourself outdoors and enjoying your build. What comes to mind, and what elements do you envision?
  • What materials do you prefer? There are many materials that you can use in projects. Consider if you like the look of brick, stone, wood, concrete, or other common materials. Thinking about your color scheme can also help you decide what materials will match. Some material choices can also be functional and reflect how you will use your space.
  • What features are most important and useful for you? Some people are looking to create driveways to direct foot traffic on their properties, while other people want to use their outdoor areas as hangout spaces. You need to determine what functions and features will give you what you need to make use of your space.

When you have considered these factors, you can more confidently begin your outdoor project.

 

What are Some Design Considerations Related to the Outdoor Living Area

The types of features you choose are not the only consideration you need to prepare for. You also need to think about the design you want for your outdoor living area.

  • Think of your home’s design. You’ll want your outdoor space to reflect the design elements your home already has. Your outdoor spaces won’t feel cohesive or as luxurious if you don’t think about your home’s design.
  • Imagine how you want your outdoor space to flow. Just like you want an indoor space to flow well, you’ll want outdoor areas to reflect your needs. Some people like to have some separation between certain outdoor areas, while others like more open-concept outdoor areas. It all comes down to the function and aesthetic you like.
  • You need to know the scope of your project. Thinking about how many people you’ll want to entertain in an outdoor space can help shift your design. If you need to accommodate more people, you’ll want to assign more space to your design and consider what types of activities you’ll want to do in that space.
  • How much privacy do you want? If you want more privacy, your design will look very different than if privacy isn’t a priority.
  • Think about the weather. You’re going to want to factor in the weather in your design, and we will help you understand what materials will best hold up and what designs will maximize your space in our weather.

When you begin your process, these considerations will transform your ability to make the best decisions for your backyard or other outdoor spaces.

How Much Value Does an Outdoor Living Space Add?

Useable spaces usually add value to a home because they give potential homeowners the opportunity to expand their living space beyond the walls of their homes. Even just having a patio can increase the value of a home by up to 10%, and they commonly have around an 80% ROI, making it a good investment.

For the best investment, you’ll want to leave some yard space for kids or pets and add amenities like outdoor kitchens, decks, or pergolas. Some of these improvements can give you 100 percent or more ROI!

Ultimately, you’ll want to balance what is a good investment and what will give you the most joy when using your outdoor spaces.
