Living on the Melbourne is all about outdoor living. Whether you enjoy a BBQ or simply having a quiet drink with friends under the stars, why not make the best room in your house, your new outdoor room.
An outdoor entertainment area is not a new concept. They started out on the Queenslander house as large timber verandahs and have evolved to become sophisticated outdoor rooms, alfresco areas even with outdoor kitchens.
Generally Melbourne houses are orientated so that their living areas open out towards their best aspect, which takes advantage of either water, or garden views, or breezes. So why not add an outdoor room, that will merge indoor and outdoor living seamlessly, and add a degree of comfort to your outdoor living area, that can be enjoyed all year round.
Outdoor Rooms Melbourne
The Melbourne climate is ideal for outdoor living and outdoor rooms. So why not invest in an outdoor entertainment area, that can be used all year round.
An outdoor room design can create your perfect outdoor entertainment area, by ensuring that:
- the outdoor room maximises your views,
- the outdoor room receives the maximum benefit from cooling breezes in summer,
- the outdoor room will not be adversely affected by the harsh westerly summer sun,
- your choice of building materials seamlessly merge the outdoor living room with your existing internal room
We recommend that outdoor rooms have a sense of enclosure, even if they are not in fact enclosed all around. Clever use of walls, posts, a bulkhead, handrails, balustrades and even plants can give outdoor rooms a sense of space, without it feeling restrictive. Therefore we try to limit the number of true walls that your outdoor room will actually have. Typically it will have one, being your outside wall of your house, with the remaining boundaries of the outdoor room being defined by outdoor decking, (ie outdoor flooring), a roof line (ie an outdoor patio) with outdoor lighting, outdoor ceiling fans, outdoor stairs and even outdoor kitchens.
Outdoor Rooms Melbourne
Brisbane also has an ideal climate for outdoor living. So why not invest in an outdoor entertainment area, that can be used all year round.
Your outdoor room design should not only maximise your views, your summer breezes and building materials as mentioned above, in Outdoor Rooms Melbourne, but it should also make the most of:
- Outdoor lighting so that it sets the mood for the entire area. Outdoor lighting can be positioned either in the patio ceiling or a feature light can be positioned to the underside of the balustrade or even in the outdoor flooring (ie timber deck flooring) itself.
- Outdoor kitchens which could include bench tops, sinks, storage cupboards, a bar fridge and even an outdoor pizza oven.
- Outdoor patio roofing can be a lined ceiling, an insulated patio roofing or a pergola, which is either attached to your house roof or raised above your house roof.
- Outdoor tv could be included so that you can enjoy your favourite show, in your outdoor entertainment area.
