Home Renovation Style: Decks, Outdoor Rooms & Verandas

Decks, patios and verandas are a great way to add casual living space to a home and provide entertainment areas to use for when you have numbers of visitors which don't easily fit inside the house. 

That transition between the indoors and outdoors is an opportunity to really enhance the functionality and value of even a small home Likewise for a large home it can add private spaces for relaxing and opening up the adjoining rooms. 

Here are some examples of how this can work.

French doors leading to the veranda add a classic look with this bullnose veranda that wraps around the corner of this charming house.

Who wouldn't love a big deep porch with a swing so reminiscent of the deep South. Just the place to spend a warm afternoon and enjoy a cool breeze. 

This covered porch catches all the breezes but cleverly keeps out the bugs, with the insect screens built in. An important factor in Australian summers! 

This deck leads to a gazebo that works as a summer house or outdoor room. Just the thing for a shady retreat or a cool drink and a book to read. 

This simple stepped deck with contemporary freestanding pergola adds a private living space away from the main house and allows the garden to be fully developed as usable space 

With built in seating this traditional deck transforms into a wide area where people can assemble and brings the deck together with the garden in a seamless way that looks like a natural garden planter. 

This outdoor room can be used summer or winter for the perfect hideaway.

Clever use of oversized counter and stacker windows turns this deck into a servery area with access from the kitchen. Perfect for entertaining. 

Decks and outdoor entertaining areas really open up a home and improve our living spaces.  If you would like to arrange a quote for an outdoor area or deck for you home in Sydney, or you would like to remodel an existing patio, call us on 1300 36 38 36 for an in-home quote.
