Creating Your Outdoor Oasis

Finally, summer has arrived and we all want to get outside and enjoy the sunshine! Creating an outdoor oasis that’s unique to you brings a sense of relaxation and fun at the same time! There are lots of ways to create your outdoor oasis. First, let’s talk about the covered/screened porch or sunroom. Consider putting in windows with screens so you can use the room most of the year. Other items you might want to include…a seating area with a TV, dining area, and serving area so that you have lots of options for entertaining or enjoying the space with your family and friends.

Next, consider the outdoor kitchen space. This can be as simple as a grill, as elaborate as a custom kitchen or somewhere in between. Remember to keep it close enough to the house so that you can transport food between these two spaces. Also, consider the wind direction so you aren’t cooking in a cloud of smoke!

You may also want to consider a fire pit area with a few chairs so you can roast marshmallows or enjoy a glass of wine outdoors on a cooler evening. Terrain has some great options for fire pits.

You could add an outdoor swing or hammock to a shaded area too!

And don’t forget about the front porch! Adding a bench with a few pillows, outdoor throw, and side table creates a perfect space to read a book or enjoy a refreshing beverage!
