Merging Indoor and Outdoor Living
When merging indoor and outdoor living spaces, it is important that transitions flow seamlessly. We want any additions to our landscape to compliment our homes while adding functionality. If you create an outdoor living room, it is best to have that space flow naturally from your home into the landscape. The same is true for outdoor kitchens and other structures. With proper design, you can enjoy the luxury of a larger living area while you spend more time in the great outdoors.
Keep Your Indoor and Outdoor Areas Side by Side
Of course, having your patio detached from the home is fine for some, but it creates a situation of transition between two distinct areas. In turn, the illusion of unity of flow is challenged. Certainly, the simplest way to seamlessly merge indoor and outdoor living is for these spaces to share a common boundary. Then, we have wider, quicker access between the two that flows effortlessly.
To help with transitions between indoor and outdoor living, large doors with lots of glass is a good idea between boundaries. Also, floor level is important. The least conspicuous transitions happen with very little or no change in elevation. It helps if floor material can be consistent. For example, transition from inner spaces to outer spaces are elegant and seamless when we use the same natural stone for flooring on both surfaces.
Indoor Rooms in The Outdoors
One of the best ways to create comfort, interest, and cohesive outdoor living is to add an outdoor kitchen or outdoor living room to the landscape. Nothing blurs the line between indoors and outdoors better. Additionally, creating an outdoor fireplace or installing a custom fire pit are nice touches. These features provide more comfort in all seasons while making your Tulsa outdoor living space more enjoyable.
