Benefits of Outdoor Living Spaces
Wondering why should you bother to add a functional outdoor living space when you already have a perfectly good house? Here are the top benefits of looking to the great outdoors:
- Expand your living space for less than a typical home addition.
- Soak up Georgia’s beautiful weather all year round.
- Increase your home value in case you decide to sell.
- Improve your mental health with more time outside each day.
- Entertain friends and family with ease.
Features To Include in Your Outdoor Living Space
You have numerous options for renovating your backyard, depending on how you plan to use it. If you want it to feel like an extension of your indoor living space, here are the types of features you may want to include:
- Hardscaping provides a flat, even surface underfoot. Your options include composite or wood decking, stamped concrete, brick or stone pavers, and much more.
- Patio coverings, pergolas, and gazebos create the sense of being in a room, even though you’re outside. They also protect against the sun, wind, and rain so you can enjoy being outside in any weather.
- Fire pits provide a natural gathering area. Enjoy talking, laughing, or even roasting marshmallows over the flickering flames.
- Specialty lighting lends the right atmosphere to your outdoor living space after dark. Sconces, torches, stair lighting, string lights, and rope lights are just a few ideas.
- Outdoor kitchens bring al fresco dining to a whole new level. Outfit the space with a bar top seating area, wine fridge, pizza oven, barbecue grill, food prep sink, and more.
- Privacy and security features such as a fence, stone wall, privacy screen, or hedges allow you to enjoy your outdoor living space away from prying eyes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Outdoor Living
The key is to design an area that feels comfortable and inviting yet can withstand the elements. To achieve this, add comfortable sofas and chairs with plush outdoor cushions, hang string lights overhead, lay down an outdoor area rug, line the space with potted plants, and set out durable tabletop accessories.
A combination of flowers and shrubs can make your outdoor living space more inviting to your family, friends, and wildlife. Perennial plants well-suited for Atlanta’s climate and acidic soil include azaleas, crepe myrtles, hostas, knockout roses, bee balm, and lantana.
