What Is a California Room?

Spaces that merge indoor living with outdoor spaces have become more than just a trend. This is why projects like patios, decks and sunrooms are in most homeowners’ remodeling wishlists. One that you may not have heard of is a California room. In today’s post, general contracting company DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Amarillo shares a look at what California rooms are, and why you should consider it for your next home remodel.

Indoor-Outdoor Space

A California room is an indoor space that’s open to the outdoors. Unlike similar spaces like covered patios or sunrooms, California rooms are primarily indoor spaces, which means everything from furniture to decor to appliances can be ones meant for indoor spaces: think of it as like a room with one wall opened to the outdoors.

While the idea of an indoor-outdoor space is not unique to California rooms — sunrooms and decks are just two of many examples — it is unique in that it is, first and foremost, an indoor space. Instead of making compromises by using weather-resistant flooring and fabrics or avoiding furniture that’s unsuitable, a California room gives you greater flexibility in planning your home remodel.

Should You Build a California Room?

If the concept of integrating the outdoors into your indoor space is appealing to you, then a California room is worth considering at the very least. One of the hurdles of indoor-outdoor integration is you have to have a dedicated room or area for it. Comparatively, you can turn any room into a California room: a bedroom, bathroom or family room can be built with the same approach. Patio doors can be optionally installed to maintain a controlled indoor environment when outdoor conditions are too harsh.
