With summer around the corner, there’s no better time than now to embrace indoor-outdoor living in New England. For years, indoor-outdoor living spaces were primarily confined to the west coast and the south. However, thanks to new, innovative, and durable outdoor furniture options, outdoor living spaces have flourished in the northeast as well. Ready to create your own backyard oasis? We have all of the tips and tricks you need to get started!

What is Indoor-Outdoor Living?

Indoor-outdoor living is a design concept that seamlessly blends indoor living spaces with outdoor environments. Overall, indoor-outdoor living designs enhance the quality of life by embracing nature and the outdoors. Indoor-outdoor spaces let you relax and enjoy the outdoors during the warmer months, and even throughout the beautiful crisp fall evenings, around a fire pit for example. Indoor-outdoor living areas are great to have when you are feeling cooped up inside when it’s nice out, also for when you’re hosting and need extra space.

The Appeal of Indoor-Outdoor Living Spaces

Indoor-outdoor living spaces are perfect for lounging. Imagine waking up on a beautiful May morning, pouring yourself a glass of iced tea, and relaxing on a comfortable yet stylish lounge chaise in the sun while you read your favorite book. Additionally, indoor-outdoor living spaces are excellent for entertaining. Why keep the party inside when you can enjoy life outside as well? With outdoor dining tables and chairs, you can effortlessly host gorgeous backyard dinner parties during the warmer months.

Tips for Transitioning Spaces from Indoors to Outdoors

Bonus rooms are great for transitioning the interior of your home to the exterior of your home. A bonus room can be designed with features that seamlessly integrate the indoors with the outdoors. For example, sliding glass doors that open up to a patio, deck, or garden area, blur the boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces. Bonus rooms may also be designed for easy access to outdoor amenities such as a pool, barbecue area, or garden.
