5 Tips for Creating Your Outdoor Living Oasis in Orange County

1. Budget & Planning

With any major home project, it’s important to start with the budget in mind. You want to be able to create exactly what you want without having to compromise on the details. One of the top remodeling project regrets from a previous blog was under-budgeting. Do your research or work with a professional to develop your budget.

2. Envision Your Layout

Think about the desired layout of the outdoor living space. You want this space to feel like an extension of your home. Whether the outdoor space flows naturally from the inside of your home or you have it set further down on your property, think through what would work best for your home and needs.

3. Consider Climate Needs

We’re lucky to live in such a beautiful climate with many sunny days throughout the year. When planning your outdoor living space, keep in mind any environmental needs you’ll want to incorporate. You’ll likely want the area to provide both shade and the opportunity to enjoy the sun. You may want a fire pit or outdoor fireplace to warm up on those chilly evenings. You should be able to spend time in your outdoor living space throughout the year!

4. Choose Your Amenities

What outdoor living amenities would you like to have for your home? Think about the amenities that your family and friends will love and would also contribute to the resale value of your home. There are many options, so brainstorm a list of must-haves and nice-to-haves to get started. Here are some ideas;

Ample seating
Outdoor cooking space
Pool area
Sound system
Recreational additions
Gardens

5. Find Your Style

Your outdoor living space will be an extension of your home, but you still have the opportunity to develop a design style you will love. You can make your outdoor area feel like an extension of your indoor space or create an outdoor space that transports you to a different place. Whether it’s CA chic or Mediterranean style, we can help you find the perfect style for your outdoor living space.
