Job Feature: A Rustic Outdoor Getaway Perfect for Entertaining
The landscape designers at Outdoor Innovations are at it again this summer, creating outdoor entertainment areas that change the way people do entertainment! One recent project that was just completed features 8 great ideas for your outdoor entertainment area, that may serve as inspiration for your backyard. Do you love the idea of settling in to a good movie…but under the stars? Perhaps the idea of enjoying a perfectly prepared meal al fresco makes you smile just thinking about it! Take a look at these amazing features, that make an outdoor entertainment area the ideal place to spend your time with family and friends.
Entertain in Comfort: Pavilions
The pavilion for this project is not only comfortable and rustic with a modern twist, but it is the ideal for entertaining. The A frame 16×20 vinyl pavilion features a Cinder color ceiling stain, a gorgeous ceiling fan, and outdoor heaters. With cozy seating surrounding the TV and gas fireplace, you can settle in with a good movie, or take in sporting events in style! Pavilions make a great addition to your outdoor entertainment area because they offer shelter and a bit of climate control allowing you to have a great time practically all year around!
Set the Mood: Gas Fireplaces
Take your pavilion to the next level with a gas fireplace or fire feature from Outdoor Innovations. Add style and improve the ambience of your outdoor entertainment area, and at the same time, extend the use of your space through the seasons. Gas fireplaces offer simplicity with the ease of turning the fire on and off effortlessly. This project features a natural stone gas fireplace. It is easy to imagine sitting curled up on the outdoor furniture with a plush blanket and hot cocoa in front of this fire in the fall, or ushering in spring with a bit more warmth while waiting for the summer months to arrive!
Chill Out: Outdoor Drop in Coolers
Do you hate opening and closing the back door, while letting out the air conditioning every time a guest wants a cold drink? Keep your beverages, condiments, and other food items chilled on ice just steps away for your convenience with drop in coolers! This pavilion has 2 drop in coolers on either side of the fireplace right within easy reach. Easy to keep clean for each use, you can keep the party going with little to no interruption, and never have to let the cool air out of your home from frequent trips inside.
Envy of the Neighborhood: Grilling Islands
Who does not love grilling out? Get the ultimate in outdoor cooking and grilling with a grilling station. This project features the works: A 36”gas grill, double burner, flat top grill, and a smoker! Any way you like your barbecue, this grilling island has it covered. Enjoy all your favorites: steak, kebabs, brats & dogs, corn on the cob and more. You will be the envy of the neighborhood with a set up like this. Get set for easy clean-up with hidden trash cans built right into the island too.
The Drinks Will Flow: Bar Islands
Including a bar island as part of your outdoor entertainment area not only provides additional attractive seating. It provides a place to keep the drinks flowing and the party in full swing. Whether you are having all your friends over for grilling and margaritas, or enjoying a romantic glass of wine while enjoying the soft lighting and fireplace, this entertainment area gives you both.
Multifunctional & Pretty: Patios
The brick patio for this project offers a multitude of purposes. Extra lounging room, additional dining space, and dare we say, a dance floor? Patios are multifunctional while also adding beauty to your outdoor entertainment area. The brick that makes up this patio brings extra dimension through its contrast with the stone used for the pavilion floor. Plenty of room for your extended family and your friends to enjoy while you take in the outdoors at home.
Your Own Private Retreat: Privacy Landscaping
The professional landscape designers at Outdoor Innovations created this outdoor entertainment area with privacy in mind. A privacy berm was built into the design that includes both luxurious evergreen bushes as well as a natural stone wall. When you have a gathering, having some privacy to be allowed to enjoy yourself is usually on the top of everyone’s wish list. Aside from privacy these additions help make your space personalized and comfortable, enhancing the overall design.
Bring the Night to Life: Outdoor LED Lighting
Entertaining is not just for the day time! Your outdoor entertainment area can transition from day to night with beautiful outdoor LED lighting. While adding security to your home, outdoor LED’s create subtle and comforting lighting all around your space. Energy saving and efficient, they can be set to turn on when you want them to. For this project lighting was placed around the landscaping and as an accent to the pavilion, so that this family can enjoy their new space any time they like!
