Outdoor Living Room – Got Yours?
“Outdoor Living” is still trending. As a landscape blogger, there’s not too many ways left to say . . . Outdoor Living Room, Got Yours?
Staring at the keyboard today, I wondered, “Didn’t I just write these very words?” After a quick hunt, aha, yes I did. The blog, ‘Outdoor Living Spaces’ pretty much spells out the ‘why’ in having an outdoor living room. Give it a quick once over (it’s actually pretty good info).
So now what? In this blog, thought I’d save us my yackity-yack by using photos and videos to give you ideas for outdoor living rooms. Now we’re rolling – no problem – we got this.
Putting the Fun in Function
Nothing like having a go-to spot when entertaining guests; outdoor living rooms are where it’s at. They are the spoke in your backyard living. After you build the room you can add all kinds of elements to entertain a mix of ages. Take a look at this functional backyard with an added fun-factor:
-
- Umbrella time . . .
-
- Night swimming – head for the hot tub!
PLAY IT AGAIN SAM
Smaller version, same song and dance. Much the same as the backyard above, in this compact landscape you’ll see a whole lot of living’ space going on . . . That’s why a landscape designer is so important… they can fit it all into one cohesive design plan that’s just right for you and your family.
