Outdoor living spaces are becoming one of the most popular home renovation projects. From custom-built fire pits to full outdoor kitchens, backyard retreats are quickly becoming the hottest trend in home remodeling.
Creating professional outdoor spaces isn’t just popular with current homeowners looking to update their home. Prospective home buyers are also taking notice of the trend. Great outdoor living spaces are becoming a huge buying point for potential homeowners. This has created even more demand from homeowners to add outdoor living amenities to homes that were built with uninspiring backyards. This is particularly true in high-end neighborhoods to retain the home’s resale value. As a result, outdoor living spaces are quickly becoming one of our most popular products.
Popular Backyard Additions
According to the American Institute of Architects 2015 Home Design Trends Survey, outdoor living rooms are on the rise, with 62 percent of homeowners surveyed listing them on their 2016 wish list. And for homeowners who put a premium on convenience and style, the simple gas grill is often being replaced with a fully equipped outdoor kitchen to make outdoor entertaining more enjoyable.
Backyard living spaces can come in all shapes and sizes. They can include everything from kitchens, cabanas and poolrooms to fully furnished living rooms and dining areas. Some homeowners even like bringing home the feel of their favorite watering hole by creating a bar with plenty of seating for all their friends. Whatever your preference, we can help you realize the full potential of your home’s outdoor area.
