Creating a Cozy Outdoor Living Space

Every Family Needs a Place to Unwind, Just Like this

During the spring, summer, and fall (and maybe even a bit of winter!) everyone could use a special place, that is all theirs, to unwind. This rings especially true for outdoor living spaces. Recently, the team at Outdoor Innovations was lucky to build such a space for this family’s home. We were able to create a cozy, fun, and functional outdoor living space that is the perfect spot to unwind and relax, as well as play and be entertained too! Check out our latest video for a tour:


Features For All to Enjoy

We were able to take this backyard space from simple to spectacular by adding some great features. When all of them are put together, there is something for everyone in the family to enjoy, for all the seasons.

Pavilions

For this space, we built a strong and sturdy, yet elegant pavilion to house their seating area. This pavilion is manufactured by Country Lane, and is stunning! In this space we added an area built in beautiful stone for their TV that has functional lighting to add ambience as well. Topped off with a fireplace to cozy up to as fall arrives, it’s the perfect spot for a movie under the stars, or to enjoy watching kids play nearby.

Outdoor Kitchen Ammenities

This family will be able to enjoy some tasty meals alfresco using their outdoor kitchen amenities. Using complimenting stone to the patio area, a stainless steel grill by Coyote, was added to the space as well as a drop in cooler and trash receptacle. The drop in cooler is highly functional, you just add ice to keep food and beverages cold, and use the built in drain when you are done! The outdoor lighting was added so cooking can happen from day into evening. Everyone will want to be the chef in this home!


  • Cozy outdoor living with a pavilion and entertainment area.
  • Strong and sturdy, yet elegant and luxurious, pavilions add to any outdoor living space.
  • The beautiful stone patio really adds to the simple elegance of this space.
  • This view in the fading sunlight shows what a comfortable and fun space this is.
  • This outdoor kitchen really makes this outdoor living space complete.
  • Providing real ambience, this fire feature will be beautiful year around.
  • Who does not love the idea of movie night under the stars in their outdoor living area?

Fire Features

This project includes two fire features. Right outside the pavilion, there is a stunning square stone fire feature by Warming Trends, that is highlighted by well placed lighting. You can have a fancy bonfire nightly! Of course you cannot forget that cozy fireplace, for lounging with family and friends as the evening light fades to night. You can really stretch the seasons with the use of warm, inviting fire features. With fall on the horizon, it is easy to picture the changing leaves and a mug of hot cider by these fires.

Basketball court

Ready for the perfect family activity, or a bit of B-ball practice? We included this great basketball court for the enthusiasts in the family. The kids can play nearby in the play area or grab a few hoops or a quick game on the court. Memories will definitely be made in this outdoor living area.

Landscaping

This area would not be what it is without the finishing touches of well places trees, shrubs, stone and more. The landscaping was completed with the full space in mind, down to the stepping stones creating a quaint path with more pretty lighting showing the way. The patio itself is constructed with quality brick from Unilock. This space was created so this family will have a place that is all their own, and we are so happy we are a part of it.
