Are you are considering a renovation or remodel of your outdoor living space this Spring? About a year ago one of our clients had just finished up design and was getting ready to break ground on a total remodel to their outdoor living area. A few questions to keep in mind are:
- How many square feet are you looking to add?
Have a good idea of what your end goal is important, and don’t let the fact that we live in the Pacific Northwest hold you back either. From canopy’s to NanaWalls – there are plenty of ways to enjoy the outdoors and stay dry.
Will there be a fire pit or a fireplace? - Does your dream outdoor space have a fire pit, a fireplace, or none of the above?
Take some time to do some homework and decide if you would like a fire pit or a fireplace. You could have both, although you would need more square footage
To pillar or not to pillar
- Are you looking to create a more drama in your outdoor living area?
Pillars and half walls are a great way to divide your space and keep it open and airy. Plus it adds some major drama and elegance *BONUS*
What's under your feet? - What is the ground made of?
Whether your preference is tile, concrete or limestone there are perks and drawbacks to them all. Doing a little bit of research here would be beneficial and fun!
Regardless of what your dreams are for your outdoor living space, give GHA a call and we can help you figure out how to bring those dreams to life!
