Are you a little down because it isn’t Summer, and so you can’t be outside as much? Not true! This time of year in Florida offers some of the best weather in the country. Don’t waste the winter months stuck inside! Outside living is much more than golfing and heading to the beach, though. With Beattie Development’s remodeling team, you can experience all of the outdoor living our area has to offer by making your own patio the hot spot to be! With a gorgeous pool, patio lounge area, and even a bar, it will never be just another day at home:
#1 A Pool. Of course, one of the best ways to enjoy your Southwest Florida home is by being poolside. But Beattie Development doesn’t just stamp a pool in your backyard and call it quits. No, your new pool area will make you feel like you’re staying at a five-star resort! This version features an underground pool with pebble stone finish and beach-entry. The fountain feature is hidden between exotic plants to create a beautiful, yet private look. If it’s heated, you can enjoy this pool year round!
#2 Plenty of Seating. The possibilities are endless when it comes to outdoor seating. Do you want a full table and chairs to eat a meal outside? A few chaise lounges by the pool? A couple of adirondack chairs out by the dock to watch the sunset? A little of all of it? Go for it! When your outdoor area is as stunning as it possibly could be, you’ll need plenty of seating because everyone from your next-door neighbor to your family up North will want to come visit.
#3 Outdoor Kitchen. If you plan on eating outside a lot, it just makes sense to have a way to cook outside. A grille isn’t your only option. Beattie Development has done many fully-functional outdoor kitchens in Southwest Florida homes, complete with countertop space, an oven, a dishwasher, and a sink. You can spend all afternoon and night outdoors without ever needing to go in!
#4 Firepit. Not all outdoor fun happens during the day! In fact, some of the most enjoyable activities only begin after the sun goes down, like lighting up your fire pit. You can either have Beattie Development design and install a gorgeous in-the-ground pit, like the stone example in the photo, or you can order a much more simple version online. Either way, scoot your chairs up around it, put on a cozy fire, and enjoy some toasted marshmallows!
#5 Foliage. You don’t want to just be looking at chairs and stone, of course. Florida has a natural splendor not seen elsewhere; you should enjoy it and also enhance it by planting your own foliage around your outdoor living area. African Lilies, Peacock Irises, citrus trees, and many types of palms do well in Florida and will accent your space perfectly. As an added bonus, those plants native to this area are less likely to take on hurricane damage.
#6 Outdoor Bar. If you want to drink outside, and you do, you aren’t stuck either walking inside constantly or dragging out a cooler. Beattie Development can include an outdoor bar in your remodel! If you’re getting an outdoor kitchen at the same time, this is a perfect addition. This way, you can watch the big game, chat with friends, or just wind down outdoors in the nice 70-degree breeze.
