Outdoor Living Upgrades That Improve Quality of Life

Upgrading your outdoor living spaces not only adds value to your home and maximizes the utility of these areas. It also improves your quality of life, providing the perfect setting to create lasting memories with family and friends. In this blog post, trusted home renovation expert DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Wilmington explores the many ways you can transform your outdoor areas into inviting, comfortable and functional spaces you’ll love spending time in.

Upgrade Your Patio or Deck

A well-designed patio or deck can be ideal for relaxing, entertaining and enjoying outdoor space. When planning an upgrade, consider materials like composite decking or natural stone pavers for a durable and aesthetically pleasing result. Complete the look and feel you want for your patio or deck by incorporating comfortable, lifestyle-appropriate seating, as well as finishing touches like umbrellas, pergolas, or retractable awnings, to make your outdoor area more appealing even on sunny days.

Create an Outdoor Kitchen

If you enjoy cooking food while entertaining guests, an outdoor kitchen can be your next home remodel project to tackle. Start by choosing the right appliances and fixtures, such as a built-in grill, refrigerator, and sink, that fit your cooking needs and preferences. Work with your chosen remodeler in creating a functional layout that will optimize your cooking and prep space. It should also include safety features to protect your loved ones while enjoying delicious meals al fresco.

Enhance Your Landscaping

First impressions matter, which is why upgrading your landscaping can significantly improve your home’s curb appeal and outdoor living experience. Choose plants and features well-suited to your local climate. Incorporate water features like fountains or ponds and adding strategically placed lighting to create a serene and inviting atmosphere.

Build a Custom Fire Pit or Fireplace

A fire feature can be a game-changer for your outdoor space, providing warmth and ambiance year-round. When planning a custom fire pit or fireplace, consider stone or brick that complements your home’s exterior. Complete your fire feature with cozy seating options and storage for firewood or propane tanks, so you’re always ready to enjoy a night under the stars.
