Porches, Patios, and Outdoor Rooms
on Sep 11, 2015As the summer months wind down, we appreciate the warm nights spent outside
at home sharing in conversations with our loved ones on a porch or patio. Having
a comfortable space to relax outdoors is a feature sought out by today’s
home buyers. At Live Well Custom Homes we believe that adding functional and
beautiful outdoor spaces to a home are an important aspect of home design.
One of the first features of a home’s exterior that you notice is the porch. The
porch is the welcoming center of the home that greets visitors and connects your
home to the neighborhood. A porch should ease you into the home, with
comfortable and functional designs that complement the home’s interior and
exterior. A recent trend we have found is that new home buyers want wider
porches that can fit luxurious furniture sets. A wide porch allows for entertaining
family and friends in an outdoor setting while enjoying the sights and sounds of
the neighborhood.
