Creating a stunning outdoor oasis can elevate your home’s aesthetic and provide a serene escape right in your backyard. Whether you’re looking to relax with family, entertain friends, or enjoy the beauty of nature, elements like an outdoor patio, outdoor fireplace, and a Florida room can make all the difference. Let’s explore how to create this perfect outdoor retreat, featuring some of our favorite products from Elite Cabinet Designs and other trending materials.
Outdoor Patio: The Foundation of Your Oasis
An outdoor patio is the essential foundation for your oasis. It creates a designated space for dining, lounging, and entertaining.
Design Tips
- Materials Matter: Choose durable materials that suit your style. Pavers, concrete, or natural stone provide a solid base and can be complemented with outdoor rugs for added comfort.
- Furniture Selection: Opt for weather-resistant furniture that invites relaxation. Consider using sleek outdoor cabinetry by NatureKast from Elite Cabinet Designs for outdoor storage and styling.
Creating Zones
Define different areas within your patio for dining, lounging, and cooking. This not only maximizes functionality but also enhances the overall flow of your outdoor space. Using different types of furniture, outdoor rugs, outdoor decor, you can transform your patio into a versatile outdoor living space that caters to various activities.
Cozy Nights: Outdoor Fireplace
An outdoor fireplace not only provides warmth but also acts as a focal point for social gatherings. We offer a variety of materials from stacked stone to porcelain tile that can be used to accent the fireplace and create an amazing background for the space.
Design Ideas
Natural Stacked Stone Fireplace
Consider a stacked stone fireplace that blends seamlessly with natural surroundings. Stacked stone not only offers durability but also adds a rustic texture that’s visually appealing. At our sister company Elite Cabinet Designs showroom you can choose from a variety of colors and finishes to match your style.
Accessorizing the Space
Surround your fireplace with comfortable seating, throw blankets, and even an outdoor rug to create an inviting atmosphere. This area can be the perfect spot for cozy conversations on cooler nights. At Renovation Flooring we offer a variety of custom rugs to choose from! Just measure your space, pick the design, and order your custom rug of any shape to be delivered to your door.
Expanding Your Living Space: Florida Room
A Florida room is a great way to blur the lines between indoor and outdoor living. With ample natural light and an inviting ambiance, it’s perfect for year-round enjoyment. Designing your Florida room is quite simple. Incorporate large windows or sliding glass doors to maximize views of your backyard oasis. Use a unique tile that can withstand humidity while maintaining style. We highly recommend porcelain tile that can sustain moisture and is slip resistant for safety of your family members enjoying the outdoors.
Adding Outdoor Kitchen Features
Why not take your Florida room to the next level by including an outdoor kitchen? With high-quality cabinetry, you can create a functional yet stylish cooking space. Consider adding a built-in grill, refrigerator, and even a bar area to entertain guests seamlessly. With the help of our expert cabinet designers at our sister company Elite Cabinet Designs you can design an outdoor kitchen that fits your existing patio and your family size.
Trending Pool and Deck Tiles
To enhance your outdoor oasis, the right pool and deck tiles can create a cohesive look throughout your space. At Renovation Flooring we have a selection of natural stone as well as porcelain that gives you the shell stone look for less. Tesoro Shellstone Series Rectified Porcelain Tile is a great example. Stop by our showroom to get a sample.
Tile Selection
Outdoor tile variety by Marazzi
Look for materials that are slip-resistant and durable. Natural stone tiles, like travertine or slate, provide a timeless look while being practical for wet areas. Additionally, large-format tiles can create a more spacious feel around your pool and deck area.
Color and Texture
Choose colors that harmonize with your outdoor patio and fireplace materials. Lighter tones can brighten your space, while darker hues can add a touch of drama and sophistication.
