Summer is the perfect time to slow down, relax, and enjoy your space—particularly your outdoor areas. Adding a covered patio or walkout porch can make a huge impact on how you enjoy your yard during the summer months.
Creating a Daily-Use Space
When the weather is nice, a covered patio or walkout porch is an area that you can use every day. Whether you’re enjoying a quiet dinner, lounging as you take in the sunset, or entertaining guests for a backyard barbecue, you’ll likely find yourself using this space even more than expected.
Consider Easy Access for Seamless Activities
How your porch or patio is placed can also make a difference for how it’s used. Easy access from the kitchen makes this space perfect for entertaining guests. An additional access point from the garage or mudroom can also provide seamless access to summer chores and hobbies. Whether you’re gardening, grilling, or having fun in the backyard, smart porch or patio design and placement will make these activities a seamless part of your routine.
Use Add-ons to Create a Full-Season Hangout
A little bit of electrical wiring can go a long way in making your porch or patio a full-season hangout. Added features like fans, lighting, and electrical outlets give you added flexibility and comfort in how you use your space, even on those warmer nights.
A patio or porch isn’t just a luxury — it’s a lifestyle upgrade that can help you bring your home to life all summer long. To learn more about how we can incorporate a porch or patio as part of your custom home build, contact us today.
