Crafting Your Outdoor Oasis
A home’s living space no longer ends at the patio doors. More homeowners are bypassing a simple deck or patio for an outdoor space that’s a true extension of their home. Outdoor living spaces are more than a trend—they’re a lifestyle upgrade. To fully embrace the views and tranquility of Milwaukee’s numerous lakes, homeowners are seeking to merge indoor comfort with the freedom of outdoor living. These spaces are becoming essential for relaxation, entertainment, and family bonding.
Plan Ahead for a Seamless Custom Home and Outdoor Living Space
Creating your dream outdoor oasis begins with strategic planning. By integrating your outdoor living space into your custom home design from the outset, you not only save money but also achieve a cohesive and functional layout. To make this process easier, we’ve compiled a handy checklist of key elements to consider during the planning stage of your custom home build.
- Expansive Patio Doors – Create a seamless transition between your indoor and outdoor spaces with expansive patio doors. Large patio doors flood the interior with natural light while also offering expansive views and easy access to the outdoors.
- Mechanicals for Future Planning – As you look to expand your outdoor oasis, make sure that you consider the mechanicals that you may need for future projects. This could include plumbing for hot tubs, electrical for additional light fixtures, or even an outdoor heater.
- Functional and Attractive Structural Elements – Add charm and utility with structural elements like porch swings, pavilions, or pergolas. These features provide both interest and function, creating inviting spaces for relaxation and enjoyment. Overhead coverage, whether it’s extending the roofline or building a pavilion, enhances comfort and usability.
- Outdoor Kitchens with Built-in Gas Lines – An outdoor kitchen can transform your backyard into a gourmet paradise. Today’s popular outdoor kitchens include built-in grills, smokers, mini refrigerators, sinks, and countertops. Installing gas lines during construction ensures your space is ready to host your next BBQ bash.
- Durable and Stylish Building Materials – When creating an outdoor structure, the building materials need to be considered especially in a climate that endures lots of weather changes. Concrete and epoxy floors are not only durable but also add a sleek, modern touch that’s easy to maintain.
- Firepits and Fireplaces – Firepits and fireplaces are popular additions since they provide extra warmth and ambiance, encouraging homeowners to linger outside from Brewers’ opening day through the Packers’ post season. Comfortable, cozy furniture with pillows provides a finishing touch to any outdoor space.
