Adding outdoor living spaces brings the inside outside. With an outdoor living space designed creatively by Paradise Restored, your space can be used throughout most of the seasons. An outdoor space is not limited to construction on flat, level ground. Many homeowners construct living spaces on multiple levels.
This may mean a deck or terrace leading down to a lower patio area. The most common outdoor living space, however, is a patio area just a few steps lower than the interior house level. What should an outdoor living space contain? Anything you like! Your space may call for an outdoor kitchen island with a barbecue built in. Or it may call for an entire kitchen area to be designed, complete with refrigerator, gas outdoor grills, outdoor sinks, and a built in sitting area. There is no end to the outdoor amenities. Outdoor rugs that will hold up to all kinds of weather can be used to give the space some warmth and coziness. Weather resistant outdoor furniture, such as lounge chairs, sofas, and easy chairs provide comfort and are also durable. Paradise Restored also offers custom made benches and seat walls that not only have eye appeal, but also provide attractive and comfortable seating to foster conversation.
One of the most popular and family friendly addition's to your outdoor living space is an outdoor fireplace or fire pit. These not only function for warmth and roasting marshmallows, but also become unique centerpieces around which family and friends can gather as the weather turns cooler. Fireplaces and fire pits may run on gas for ease of operation, or they may be wood-burning, for a more rustic ambiance. Paradise Restored can also design a wood burning fire place or fire pit with a gas starter for the best of both convenience and enjoyment of using natural wood.
Hardscaping your outdoor living space can complement the house and existing landscape. Paradise Restored uses many hardscaping materials. From natural stone to pavers, concrete to high end bluestone finishes. Paradise Restored has the knowledge and expertise to ensure your hardscaping is not only done right but also that it perfectly blends into your own little paradise.
Another staple point in outdoor living spaces is water features. Water features such as, natural looking waterfalls and ponds, formal ponds, bird bath fountains, bamboo water features, or stone column and flower pot water features can ease your senses after a stressful day. Any kind of water included in the space adds to the enjoyment. Listening and seeing moving water is both relaxing and enchanting.
Something Paradise Restored recommends in almost all of our outdoor living space designs are custom wood structures. These could be a Gazebo, a Pergola, or a small wood Arbor. These wood structures not only add dimension to your landscape and outdoor living space but can provide much needed shade on those hot summer days.
