Ways to extend your space
Do dreams of lazy days soaking up the sun have you looking
for ways to extend your liv- ing space outdoors? You’re not alone. According to a recent Qualified Remodeler magazine survey on the lat- est outdoor-living trends, creating the ultimate back- yard now has as much pri- ority with homeowners as kitchens, bathrooms and other interior remodeling projects. The appeal of a backyard that can accom- modate different activities, from outdoor dining to an afternoon snooze, makes sense as many homeown- ers look to their yards to provide more usable living space.
If you’re like surveyed respondents and ready to maximize your property’s potential with an updated
backyard, the process may seem daunting. Fortunate- ly, a little inspiration and a new pergola make it easy to extend your living space outdoors. Here are three simple ways to incorporate a pergola into your back- yard layout and bring the
ultimate outdoor space from concept to reality.
FRAME AN OPEN-AIR WORKSPACE
Between remote work, homework sessions and im- promptu art projects, table space in the home may be
a commodity. Skip the daily scuffle for space. Consider using a pergola to frame a flexible open-air workspace that’s separate from the house. Pergolas typically sport uncovered rafters for slight but noticeable shade — much like sitting under a tree. This can help reduce the sun’s glare on a com- puter screen while still al- lowing natural light and a warm breeze to flow through the workspace. You can in- crease the amount of shade these open-air structures cast by draping outdoor curtains from the rafters. Finish setting the scene for heads-down concentration with comfortable outdoor furniture, potted plants and lighting accessories. Don’t forget to provide access to an outlet to keep computers and phones fully charged.
