Bringing nature and the outside world into a home is one of the more important qualities of a well-designed house. This is accomplished through things like large windows, skylights, decks and patios. These features provide natural light, breezes and limited access to the outside world. But sometimes we want the full experience of the outdoors without having to leave the comfort and conveniences that the inside of a home offers.
What if you could bring your home to the outdoors instead of trying to bring the outdoors into your home? This is the primary concept behind the outdoor living room, a comfortable, convenient living area that’s located outside instead of inside. Outdoor living rooms are great for a ton of purposes from everyday lounging to hosting grand parties. The only limitations are your own imagination. Outdoor living spaces are especially great for San Diego because they can take advantage of the year round good weather.
The options available for an outdoor living area are nearly limitless. Take a look at our outdoor living room gallery for some ideas on how to create your own unique space. You can create an area with fire pits or overhead heating units to keep warm. You can use bench like seating or individual chairs to fit in as many people as you want. If you are somewhat short on ideas, you can look through our design center for ideas on how to create the perfect outdoor living room. Marrokal recently won an award for design and construction of an outdoor living space.
