Despite the extreme heat Central Iowa has experienced this season, the Midwest typically has a comfortable climate for the majority of the year.
As the seasons shift to a more comfortable temperature this fall, there’s no better time to reimagine your outdoor areas as an extension of your home—a place where relaxation, entertainment, and nature seamlessly intertwine.
We believe the best way to enjoy this time of year is in the outdoor living space of your dreams. Whether you have a sprawling garden or a modest patio, we’ve curated a list of creative ideas to help you unleash the full potential of your outdoor oasis.
Incorporating a pergola, privacy wall, or roof in your outdoor design is a great way to offer some relief from the summer sun, but still give you the chance to enjoy the warmth. Not only do pergolas, privacy walls, and roofs offer protection, but they can also block light wind and rain.
Pergolas and privacy walls make your space more homey as they can be dressed up with plants and string lights. On top of that, these structures create privacy, which is a plus if you have close neighbors.
Outdoor fireplaces and fire pits offer many benefits–the most obvious one being a source of warmth in those colder months. The main difference between the two options is very minor. A fireplace is typically a larger and permanent structure, it has a chimney to direct smoke, and people gather in front of it. On the other hand, a fire pit is usually smaller and people gather around it.
Both make your backyard a great place for entertaining guests or spending time with your family. A custom fire feature can take your outdoor living space to the next level and increase property value.
Constructing a custom outdoor living space costs time and money. If you are not quite ready for such a huge project, incorporating your favorite colors or designs in furniture and decor can give your backyard a custom feel.
This allows you to show your personal style without making expensive and potentially permanent changes. Fun furniture and decor can be the final touch that brings the backyard together!
Lighting is an important aspect to consider if you are trying to transform your outdoor space. It sets the mood of your space and increases the number of hours you can use your patio or deck.
Similar to other features, there are many ways to utilize lighting options. String lights can be strung across pergolas or around railings on a porch or deck. Custom wired fixtures can be installed overhead or on walls. Traditional or battery-operated candles are another great option if you want softer lighting outdoors.
Last but not least, what better way to enjoy the outdoors all year long than in a four seasons porch? A four seasons porch is a kind of sunroom that is typically enclosed in floor-to-ceiling windows and remains heated in the winter and cool in the summer.
Four seasons porches are one of the best custom home additions as they allow you to enjoy the season without actually leaving your home. They expand the square footage of your home and like any addition, increase the value of your home.
