If you have the opportunity to bring the outdoors into your home, do so. Also, an outdoor space can feel just like any space in your home. Think comfort when designing the space. It can be so rewarding and be the space that offers some much-needed tranquility.
Take the outdoor space and treat it just like any room in your home. Patterns on the walls and ceiling can add drama and color. Even the selection of flooring can transform your space.
Make the space inviting with plants, flowers and greenery. Even the simplest designs can be spectacular with just an added pop of color.

If the space allows, you may want to consider an area that allows family or guests to watch television.
Comfort is key whether indoors or outdoors. Whether it is a dining space or seating area, keep the creature comforts in mind.
Thinking about the architecture of a space is key to a perfect outdoor area. The ceiling treatment here reflects the shape of the water feature in this space.
