So, if you still haven't heard the new buzz word for 2010 it is 'outdoor room'. As budgets shrink and vacations get cut it seems like everybody wants the option of a 'stay-cation'.
A great way to ad value to your home, and create a relaxing and inviting patio space, is to create an outdoor room. An outdoor room is essentially your patio or deck and maybe a little extra space - but using interior design themes to decorate it. Instead of using your deck or patio as a storage space for flowers, cans, lawn equipment and random patio furniture - take the opportunity to really create a getaway that is both relaxing and a great space for entertaining.
If you are thinking 'I really can't afford this' - hold on a second! Sometimes it's more afforable than you think. If you already have furniture just spruce it up with spray paint, fresh potted flowers in large 'roman/greek pots' that you can get from Big Lots or the Dollar Store. Also - hit up some garage sales and see what you can find... paint and refinish items to match your themes.
If you are still having a hard time thinking of some ideas just check these great rooms out - and always remember to consult a licensed contractor and interior designer or real estate agent before making any modifications to you home.
