How To Transform Your Backyard Into An Outdoor Room

May 13, 2018 by Naomi Findlay


Looking for an easier way to plan your renovation?  → Join Free Beautiful Renovations Masterclass


These days there is more of a focus on getting year-round use out of your outdoor area. Whether you have an entire backyard, courtyard or balcony, you can design your space into an extra room for your home. Whatever your budget, you can extend your home – whilst also boosting the value of your home.

What Are Your Needs?

As the outdoors isn’t a defined room it is often difficult to know what to do. It is important to first consider what you want from an outdoor space. An entertainers dream? A relaxing study nook? A peaceful paradise for your morning coffee? Once you have answered this question, your transformation can begin!

Cool It Down

To ensure your outdoor room is enjoyable year-round, add an awning or umbrella to your garden or balcony. You can even opt for a retractable awning or adjustable umbrella to keep your options open whether the sun is blazing or the rain to pouring. 

Set the Mood

Rope or string lights instantly lift your mood and create a festive atmosphere that will draw visitors out into your new space. This tip is affordable and effective in transforming your whole backyard.

Bring Out The Colour

Cushions are a great way to extend the style of your home into your new outdoor room. Not only do they tie the look of your whole home together, but they add colour and comfort. Wall hangings and macramé hangers are also effective accessories to add warmth and texture to your space.

Hang Around

Do I need to say much more? Hammock swings and hanging chairs just scream relaxation.
