There’s really no downside in adding an outdoor living space to your home. The additional square footage will serve as an excellent place to enjoy time with guests, your family, or a peaceful morning alone. We’ve put together a list of ways in which you can benefit from adding an outdoor living space to your home.

1. IT’S A GOOD FINANCIAL INVESTMENT

Financially, an outdoor living space is a great investment. As an extension of your home, it has the potential to increase the value of your home, and it can also lead to fewer vacations. With your own personal vacation spot, who needs to leave home?

2. YOU’LL BE ABLE TO ENTERTAIN GUESTS

An outdoor space can be customized to fit your lifestyle. Whether it’s a bar, grill, pool, kids play area, or patio seating (or a combination of it all), it’ll be a great place to entertain friends and family.

3. YOU’LL GET MORE TIME SPENT WITH YOUR FAMILY

As we discussed before, an outdoor space will make hosting family gatherings and holidays a breeze. It will also be a wonderful way to increase the time you spend with your kids. Add family friendly features like outdoor games or a play area. Or use the space to create a dining area for family dinners. It can be hard to get the whole family to sit down for a meal, but the cool environment of an outdoor space will help.

4. YOUR MENTAL HEALTH WILL IMPROVE

Did you know an outdoor space can reduce stress? Gardening is a wonderful de-stressing activity, but so is simply sitting outside and enjoying your space. Being around nature has proven calming effects and can do wonders for your mental health.
