Extend Your Home Outdoors for Some Alfresco Living

It’s easy to live in a smaller home when you’re single and living alone.

But when you have a growing family, you have to consider everyone’s comfort, which means that you’ll need a bigger space to make sure your family lives as cosily as possible. If your home can’t accommodate any more room then you may need to find a bigger house with help from local real estate professionals such as those from Richardson & Wrench in Campbelltown. But if relocating is out of the question, then you might be better off extending your living space outdoors instead.

 

Garden Room, Sun Lounge or Conservatory

Whichever way you call it, if you want an extension with a solid roof and a perfect view of your landscaped garden, then you need one built. Be sure to talk to us about your requirements. We can build a bespoke external room to suit your needs and budget.

With a garden room, conservatory or sun lounge, you can enjoy some outdoor living all year round. With good roof insulation, you’ll be able to dine or entertain friends with a good view of the outdoors whenever you want to.

 

Patio or Deck

Either one is a great gathering space that can be used for lounging around, entertaining friends or dining alfresco. The QLD Deck Co specialises in custom timber decks, pergolas and more. For beautiful patios, you can trust Modern Solutions in Australia Pergolas to deliver on their promises. All that’s left for you to do is to furnish it with outdoor pieces from By Dezign or with those gorgeous beanbags that Epona has for sale.

 

Other solutions

Pergolas, retractable canopies or awnings and arbours are great alternatives if you want something temporary or if you don’t want to spend a lot for your home extension.

Whatever you decide on, it’s important that you assess the available area so you don’t waste any space and money when extending your living space. Once your conservatory, patio or deck is built, be sure to decorate it accordingly to make it look and feel cosy and inviting.

Don’t forget these essential elements:

  • Lighting – although the purpose of an outdoor living area is to enjoy the sun, you can still have fun at night with the right lighting. Some of your options include wall lights, lanterns, floodlights and decorative lighting sets.
  • Heating – you’ll need a heating system for your outdoor living area so you can take advantage of it anytime. You can use electric or gas patio heaters, fire pits, chimineas or others.
  • Furniture and Accessories – there are many stylish outdoor furniture and accessories you can choose from. For seating and dining, you can use those made of wicker, rattan, bamboo or metal. Throw in some cushions, swing seats and bean bags to make the space look more comfortable – as comfortable as the environment in B&M Care Homes.
