What is an Outdoor Living Space?

The definition of outdoor living is an area that extends your lifestyle to the outdoors, but to us, it’s so much more. When we collaborate in designing and building your custom outdoor living space in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania we think of it as the new backdrop to your life. At our first meeting, we are usually already imagining the first dinner party you will host with your family and friends to celebrate, the graduation parties you will host for your kids and grandchildren, and the sunsets you will watch as you unwind after a long day at work.

That’s because we know that the key to creating an outdoor living space is visualizing exactly how your new custom outdoor living space will look before it is built, who will use it, and how each feature will add value to your life. Here’s the secret to expanding your home’s living space as well as its potential value in 2023:

• Create your zones

Knowing how you will use your new space is crucial to the success of your investment. So we recommend creating a list of activities your new space must accommodate. Do you want to entertain often? Prepare full meals outdoors? Host Sunday football? Read by the fire? Relax in the hot tub? The key is to really dial in when planning out the zones for your new space. You don’t want to feel rushed or pressured when making decisions or you’ll end up wasting your time and money. So, you’ll want to think carefully about how you will use each zone and how you want the traffic to flow around your new space.

Practicality is key when planning the best layout for your new custom outdoor space. The size and layout you select should be able to accommodate your lifestyle while enhancing your home. However, sometimes it can be difficult to visualize how your future space will look. We find that seeing your space through a custom 3D design really allows you to visualize exactly how you will use every feature and zone of your new space so your decisions never feel pressured or rushed. Our Love It or Revise It Assurance eliminates worries about expensive design edits and revision fees. That means we will revise your custom design with no additional cost until we get every detail just right.

• Select your furniture first

Whatever your vision may be, your new custom outdoor living space should reflect your personal tastes and your lifestyle needs. But, if you neglect to select stylish, weather-resistant furniture and decor FIRST you could get stuck building a space that is too large or too small.

Comfortable outdoor furniture can be found in a wide range of colors, patterns, and price points. So it’s pretty easy to ensure you don’t have to sacrifice style when creating a warm, relaxing, inviting outdoor space. But, when shopping for a new outdoor living room, make sure you opt for items that provide you with as much flexibility as possible. If you’re not sure how many people you will typically host, it might be a good idea to consider a table that extends to accommodate extra guests to make your dining area as flexible as possible. When you select your furniture first, your designer can ensure you have enough space in the dining area to keep the table at multiple lengths.
