It’s that time of year again when the weather is beautiful and the great outdoors beckon! While we can’t get away every day, outdoor spaces extend the living areas to the outdoors and bring nature to the back door.
In warmer climes, uncovered spaces like the one shown below are more commonplace. In colder climates, many prefer to have cover overhead, so the weather doesn’t force the party to relocate.
Water features are popular, and a fireplace or firepit can extend the outdoor season when the nights get brisk.
Whatever your preference, think about how you can claim the space that is literally right in your backyard!
