From Naples to Cape Coral, Southwest Florida residents enjoy beautiful weather year round, which means that their home’s outdoor living space is just as important as the functionality and finishes inside the home. Cape Coral builder Beattie Remodeling can take your ideas and turn them into an outdoor living space that you’ll be proud to show off to friends and family. If you’re looking to take advantage of your home’s outdoor living space, consider one of these outdoor additions.
Pool And Pool House
Whether you have a pool already installed and you want to build a pool house or you’re adding your first pool, a pool and a pool house can add a lot of value to your home. A pool house is a mini structure close by your pool where you can keep snacks and drinks, towels, pool toys and other supplies. Some homeowners also choose to install a bathroom with a shower so that they don’t need to go all the way into the main house when they need a break.
Your pool can be as basic or as elaborate as you’d like. Popular designs include rock waterfalls, separate Jacuzzi tubs and even glass enclosures that allow homeowners to swim, even if it’s raining outside. Also consider having enough patio space for a table and chairs or a few chaise lounges under a pergola so you can get out of the hot sun while you dry off.
Outdoor Bar Or Full Kitchen
If you love to entertain outside, consider extending your outdoor living space to include a bar or even a full kitchen. If you don’t have the space for a full kitchen, install a built in bar space with a working sink and faucet and a mini refrigerator underneath the bar. A bar with stools will give guests a place to sit and give you the opportunity to interact with them during parties.
If you have a little more space available, consider a full outdoor kitchen instead of just a bar. Full kitchens can include larger refrigerators, wine coolers, brick pizza ovens, natural gas grills that use your home’s gas line, smokers, ice makers and even fire pits. With so many options, it’s possible to create a one of a kind outdoor living space that fits your family’s exact needs and wishes.
When choosing what to include in your outdoor kitchen, make sure that you’re using materials that are designed to be used outdoors. Avoid laminate countertops and instead choose sturdy materials that can withstand the elements, such as granite or other solid surfaces.
Exterior Bathroom
When you’re a frequent entertainer or your home is a popular gathering spot for the neighborhood children, you may not want everyone traipsing through your home each time they need to use the restroom. In cases like this, installing an outdoor bathroom can be a great decision. Outdoor bathrooms can be as simple or as fancy as you’d like, so whether you install a basic half bath or a full bathroom complete with a steam sauna is completely up to you.
Enhance Your Patio Space
If you like to be outdoors, but don’t feel like a pool, kitchen or bathroom is needed, consider just extending your existing patio or adding a new one. During the beautiful Florida winter months, patios can greatly increase your living space in. Consider a screened in patio with beautiful stamped concrete designs that look like actual stone, brick, slate or even wood. This can create a gorgeous and functional place to entertain or spend time with your family.
