Bring The Outdoors Inside
One of the easiest outdoor living space ideas is bringing the outdoors inside. There is nothing wrong with creating an outdoor living space that looks incredibly close to the living space inside your home. You can easily use wood or steel to create an outdoor frame and shell to keep everything in this space dry and away from the rest of the elements.
Outdoor Kitchens
You could easily go inside to utilize your kitchen and prepare meals and snacks, but why not make life easy by creating an outdoor kitchen space! Your outdoor kitchen can be out in the open or under a framed space to keep you out of the sun more. There are many different options for outdoor kitchens, so you will never need to settle when it comes to the things you want the most. Installing a kitchen outside is a great outdoor living space idea that enables you to host al fresco evenings with your friends and parties.
Fireplace Gathering Spot
There is nothing more relaxing than an outdoor living space idea that enables you to gather with your family and friends around a fireplace or fire pit. You can easily create a cozy outdoor area complete with furniture and so much more. You can even create a dining area around your fireplace if you wish, so you can enjoy those romantic dinners with the flames dancing in the background.
Outdoor Dining Spaces
A dining area is one of the essential outdoor living space ideas that you should invest in. You do not need a fireplace to create an outdoor dining space. If you love eating outside, as well as entertaining outside, you will be amazed at how well an outdoor dining space will fit your needs. This space can include one large table, multiple smaller tables, or even a bar. The options are endless when it comes to dining out in your own yard.
Courtyard Area
If you have a courtyard area that needs a little TLC, we recommend turning it into a fabulous outdoor living space. You can choose to grow grass or make your life easier by having pavers put in place. Add some comfortable furniture, a dining area, small flower garden, and even a few hanging baskets for a little extra ambiance. You may even choose to fence off the area so you can make it a private sanctuary.
Cozy Balcony
Balconies often get a bad rap, because many people think that they can only toss a couple outdoor chairs out there. However, there are many inspiring outdoor living space ideas that you can utilize and can create a cozy space on a balcony that fulfills all your relaxation needs. Wicker furniture works well on balconies, as do thick cushions, glass top tables, and ottomans for extra seating. Don’t forget to add a few throw pillows and blankets for those nights when you just don’t want to go back inside.
Garden Oasis
There is no rule that states your outdoor living space must be close to your house. If you have a lovely garden, you can easily place your outdoor living space back amongst all your plants and flowers. If you really want to make this space phenomenal, we recommend adding a fountain or waterfall feature. This will make this space even more of an oasis that you will love spending time in.
Rooftop Sitting Area
There are so many things you can do to create an outdoor living space on a rooftop, so do not think that you need to stick with the ideas we are sharing. If you have the space, you can easily create a sitting area, dining area, and even a bar area. The size of your rooftop space might dictate how much you can do, but other than that, it is up to your imagination.
Poolside Sitting
If you spend a lot of time in your pool, then an outdoor living space idea that is situated near your pool makes perfect sense! You can easily create a sitting area, but do not rule out a dining space and even an outdoor kitchen. Think about everything that you usually need when you are at the pool and then create those spaces to make things easier for you.
Multiple Outdoor Living Spaces
If you have a larger yard, you may want to consider creating multiple outdoor living spaces. This will allow you to separate into groups during larger gatherings or simply enjoy different sections of your yard, depending on what you are doing. You can easily create a sitting area out in a gazebo or under a pergola, while an outdoor kitchen can be closer to your house. You may enlist the help of a landscape designer to help you segment your yard accordingly, or install fencing to help you create unique spaces.
These are ten inspiring examples of outdoor living space ideas and you can choose to incorporate one of them, or parts of them all, into your outdoor space. We recommend determining your outdoor living space needs first and then seeing how these ideas can help you fulfill those needs. Then you can create the spaces you will love spending time in for a very long time!
