3 Elements of the Living Room you can take to your Outdoor Living Space


Inside Out: 3 Elements of the Living Room you can take to your Outdoor Living Space


Your outdoor living space should be as comfortable as your indoor living spaces. At D.J.’s Painting and Remodeling, we value the ability to have the same level of comfort outdoors as you would have in your own living room. There are small elements that will help you start to turn your home inside out by making the outdoors an extension of the interior.

Light it Up
Lighting is key to creating an outdoor living space. Dave Juarez, owner of D.J.’s Painting and Remodeling, states, “It is a way to make the outdoors feel like another room in your house because it encourages your family to move outside. When there is proper lighting outdoors in the evening when your family is there to enjoy it, they’ll feel more able to use the space.”

Plant Life and Indoor Decor
Take your house plants outside! Maybe not all of them, but a few potted plants in the outdoor living space can make it feel more like a living space. Do the same with your décor. A colorful rug on the porch or patio will pull the space together. You can put artwork on display that can withstand the elements to add another touch of the indoors like a decorative mirror or statue.

Seating and Comfort
Take plenty of pillows and chairs to your outdoor living space. Adequate and comfortable seating will encourage family and guests to use the outdoor living space when they have a seat to themselves and feel comfortable spending more than a moment there. Add throw pillows and cushions to add even more comfort.

Just a few small elements can add so much to your outdoor living space. Of course, there are much bigger changes you could make to your outdoor living space to make it an outdoor haven for your family and friends, but at D.J.’s Painting and Remodeling, we want you to know that small changes can have a great impact as well!
