Outdoor living spaces should be as well thought out as the interior living spaces. If you have been thinking about backyard remodeling, it is a must for summertime entertaining and can make a big difference. If a plan is set into place and executed with the proper team of Contractor, Landscape Architect, and Interior Designer the project will run smoothly, on time, and on budget. Starting a project in the spring will allow enough time to order furniture, build structures, and do any landscaping needed. Fortunately, creating a backyard escape is attainable no matter how large or small the project.
Creating a space that ties in with the style of the home is important. Keeping the use of different materials to a minimum will make the new space feel like it has been there for years. Choosing the appropriate materials is a good place to start. Discuss possibilities with your contractor and designer; selecting patio materials depends on the existing space and how much demo needs to be done to achieve a certain look. Seating areas around a fire pit or under a cabana have many options. Find your home’s design style and work from there. If your home has dark wrought iron details contrasted with a lighter paint color, select a dark metal frame and lighter fabric. Then use accent pillows with fun colors to tie in other elements in the backyard. 
Cabanas can be simple fabric structures detached from the home opposite the pool for lounging or dining purposes. Structures can be built separate or attached to the home with electrical, running water, a full outdoor kitchen, ceiling fans, and even a built-in fireplace. Outdoor kitchens that are close to the barbecue are convenient for cleaning utensils and storing cooking supplies. Kitchens can be an outlet for entertaining—include a bar height counter top with barstools for casual entertaining. Outdoor areas should be a stay-cation oasis for you and your family.
