When you're planning a renovation, don’t forget your outdoor spaces. Expanding your living area to the outdoors offers numerous benefits. From improving your home's curb appeal, to increasing the liveable space around your home, adding on to the exterior of your home will help you maximize your enjoyment of your biggest investment. Here are four exterior home additions to explore with help from our design build firm.
1. Attach an Outdoor Kitchen
Do you like to host friends and family on the weekend? In the summer, you probably like to host those gatherings outside. One of the great home additions that you can add to your property is an outdoor kitchen. Take your culinary skills outdoors by having our dependable team at TriVistaUSA Design + Build create a bespoke outdoor kitchen for you. From installing countertops and storage cabinets, to a built-in grill, pizza oven, a sink, and a refrigerator, your outdoor kitchen can be equipped to handle most tasks, increasing the amount of time you can interface with guests, rather than continually running in and out of the house every time you need to check on the food. No need to split your time between the kitchen and the party! An outdoor kitchen allows you to stay outside with your friends and family, and have a great time together.
2. Upgrade Your Deck
Another great addition that you can add is a spacious deck, which provides a beautiful outdoor setting for enjoying meals with loved ones or engaging in conversation in the fresh air. With a deck, you can have the perfect spot to relax and read a book in sunlight. Additionally, this space can be personalized to reflect your unique style and preferences.
Traditional wood decks can be high maintenance and result in painful splinters when walked across with bare feet. Instead of wood, Arlington area homeowners looking to upgrade their decks can opt for man made composite wood look materials that provide the same rich look, but are more durable, safer, and easier to maintain. Our designers will work with you to develop a layout, including covered seating areas, to meet your unique needs and tastes.
3. Attach a Front Porch
Have you always dreamed of having a home that has a wraparound porch or a front porch? With help from our design build firm, you can add a beautiful front porch that gives your home the charming personality you've been looking for. This front porch can welcome you every day when you get home from work or school. Porches can be equipped with ceiling fans to keep the climate comfortable in summer, or even enclosed with windows and screens to keep the insects at bay. A front porch can create a cozy and welcoming space that everyone will enjoy when they visit. With comfortable, customized seating, your front porch will become the ideal spot to relax and wind down at the end of a long day of work or play.
4. Incorporate a Hardscape Patio
A hardscape patio is a perfect addition to any home, and it can provide a great area to relax and entertain. With various materials that you can choose from, including brick, stone and concrete pavers, your hardscape patio can dramatically expand your livable space outdoors. With our help, your new patio can include retaining walls with designated planting areas for your annuals, and other amenities like grills and firepits. With TriVista’s help, your patio will blend seamlessly with the rest of your landscaping to create a luxe outdoor living area. Once it's installed, you can add furniture and other conveniences like outdoor televisions to enhance the experience.
