Allow for indoor/outdoor living
With a warm and temperate climate throughout most of the year, there’s no wonder clients and custom home builders in Perth are turning towards indoor/outdoor living.
There’s definite value to investing time and money into this feature, whether you’re building from scratch, renovating or extending your current home.
How to do this?
- A great way to achieve indoor/outdoor living is bringing the outdoors in through the living areas with practical alfresco kitchens combining the two areas.
When designed and implemented correctly, you can enjoy outdoor living all year round.
Build an alfresco
To dine alfresco is to eat in the open air, and what a breath of fresh air (literally) an alfresco will add to your home.
Including a patio or alfresco area to your new home’s design or extension plans will create a truly sophisticated extension of your living and dining areas, indoors and outdoors.
An alfresco or patio checklist:
- A roof
- Lighting
- Walls on two or more sides (optional)
- An outdoor kitchen and/or barbeque (again, optional but well regarded)
- Sturdy furnishings, that still provide the personalised touch of style.
You can both entertain and relax in the sizzling summer and the wet and windy winter with thoughtfully designed and expertly constructed alfresco living quarters.
Go big with glass windows and doors
Big glass windows and glass doors really are better for indoor/outdoor living success.
Not only will you be able to open up your doors and windows to maximise your entertaining and living spaces and let the summer breeze in, but in the dreariness of winter, gazing upon the outdoors may just lift your spirits.
Consider the following:
- Bifold glass doors,
- Stacking glass doors, and/or
- Sliding glass doors.
Look from floor to ceiling when it comes to glass windows to effortlessly allow the gorgeous sunlight in, embracing the beauty of each and every season, year in and year out.
