Luxury Outdoor Rooms
The Ultimate Guide to Creating Your Own Outdoor Oasis
As the real estate market undergoes shifts, homeowners are increasingly focusing on enhancing their property's value through innovative home improvements. Gone are the days when a simple coat of paint would suffice. Today, the trend is all about transforming your home into a personal retreat, particularly by crafting luxurious outdoor spaces.
The Shift to Outdoor Living
Research from the Propane Education & Research Council (PERC) indicates that 35% of homeowners already have a finished outdoor room. Moreover, 34% of those without one plan to create such a space soon. That means potentially more than half of U.S. homes will feature outdoor entertaining areas in the near future.
Leslie Wheeler from the Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association notes the rising interest in outdoor living areas. Homeowners are now seeking the amenities of indoor kitchens outside, such as islands complete with refrigerators, grills, sinks, and countertops.
Enhancing Home Value
Investing in outdoor living spaces is not just about lifestyle; it can also significantly boost property value. Industry professionals suggest that outdoor spaces can add up to 30% to a home's total value. As more people choose to spend time at home, the allure of a backyard oasis grows stronger.
Designing Your Outdoor Room
Not sure where to start? Katherine Whiteside, a best-selling garden and cookbook author, advises beginning simply. An outdoor room can be as easy as setting up furniture and propane appliances on an existing patio or deck. When planning, consider your climate for protection against sun, rain, and cold. Options like market umbrellas, canopies, and propane heaters can provide comfort throughout the seasons.
Creating Comfort and Functionality
Comfort is key. Install a porch floor with radiant heating for warmth and opt for comfortable furniture. If you live near water, consider adding a propane mosquito chaser to keep insects at bay. No outdoor room is complete without a dining area and grill, equipped with the latest accessories for easy cooking.
Top Outdoor Appliances
Popular outdoor appliances reflect consumer preferences: lighting, gas grills, mosquito eliminators, outdoor fireplaces, and patio heaters are must-haves. Installing an underground propane tank can streamline fuel use for multiple appliances.
Expanding Possibilities
Whether you have a compact yard or a sprawling estate, transforming your backyard can provide space for relaxation and entertainment. Consider adding structures like gazebos, cabanas, or even a backyard office for a distraction-free workspace. Water features like ponds or fountains can add tranquility, with larger installations creating a stunning visual impact.
Choosing the Right Water Feature
Steve Sandalis of Mystic Water Gardens suggests that water features should be placed strategically for year-round enjoyment. If safety is a concern, especially with children around, consider pondless waterfalls. Incorporate water plants to maintain clean water, as they absorb nutrients that would otherwise promote algae growth.
Selecting Outdoor Furnishings
When choosing outdoor furniture, be mindful of durability and climate suitability. With a wide array of high-end options available, it can be challenging to make the right choice. We've simplified the process with some luxury picks:
