Across the country, folks are rediscovering what's great about the great outdoors! Recent studies show what some of us have never forgotten-hanging out in parks, woods, and beaches can do wonders for our health. Turns out, living in areas with more greenery can lower the chances of stuff like heart disease, obesity, and stress in adults, and even help kids with things like staying fit and seeing clearly.
So, when it comes to updating your home's outdoor spaces, you've got an opportunity to add beauty and value to your home while making a real difference in your family's health. It's a win-win-win!
Now that we've got you hyped, here are a few ways you can do this:
Materials Matter
Constructing your deck or porch with premium materials makes it easier on the eyes, but also provides the durability and safety needed for any use. Consider composite decking for a low-maintenance alternative to real wood, offering the same natural look without the upkeep (we know a thing or two about this 🙂).
Rock Some Stone
Adding stone accents can bring warmth and texture to your home's exterior-crucial aspects to making your space irresistible to family, friends, and neighbors. Panelized stone siding, like Versetta Stone, offers the beauty of real stone without the installation hassles. Plus, it's lightweight and easy to install, making it a practical choice for outdoor projects like a deck or porch renovation.
Cozy Features
Don't let the cooler temperatures keep you indoors! Enhance your deck or porch with features like fireplaces, fire pits, or fire bowls for warmth and ambiance. Pair them with cozy seating and thoughtful decor to create a welcoming outdoor year-round retreat.
Grill & Chill
If you enjoy outdoor cooking, consider installing an outdoor kitchen to elevate your culinary experience. It offers convenience and functionality, allowing you to grill and entertain without constant trips to the indoor kitchen. With smart design choices and a little planning, you can create an outdoor oasis that's both stylish and functional.
With quality materials, warm textures, and outdoor amenities like fire features and kitchens, you're not just investing in your home's value—you're investing in your family's health and happiness.
So let's get started. Together, we can spruce up that outdoor oasis and get you reaping the benefits of more time outside-together!
