The outside of your home speaks volumes just as much as the interior. Outdoor flooring is a crucial aspect for those looking to create a majestic outdoor entertainment area.
With the right touch, homeowners can add as much as $20,000 to the value of their homes with outdoor space. Want to find out how to achieve this? Read on to find out.
It’s All About Material
There are dozens of flooring styles you can choose from. Prior to selecting a floor for your outdoor space, you want to have an idea on a theme you like. The overall layout of your patio will help make the deliberation process easier.
Common materials to go for are concrete (wet or dry), brick, wood, quarry tiles, flagstones, composite, or aggregate like pebbles, rocks, gravel, or wood chips. It is especially important to select the right shape, texture, size, pattern, and color when you decide.
You can combine materials too for more pizzazz to your outdoor space. Getting your material professionally installed is a must.
No matter what style you go for, you want the material to be strong, durable, and long-lasting. This is where the importance of coating comes in. Standard epoxy coatings fail in quality because they yellow and show wear over time.
However, tougher coatings, like a polyurea-based product, are the opposite and resist yellowing. Homeowners can have these coatings applied anytime of the year without having to worry about damage.
Finding the Right Accents
No theme is complete without the additions of accents. Once you decide on a color theme, you can fill in the outdoor design by investing in quality furniture. Things like tables, chairs, rugs, swings, couches, and pillows are pieces you want to shop for once your flooring is complete.
Most outdoor entertainment areas also look amazing with the addition of plants. Greenery can give your outdoor lounge the pop your space needs to dazzle. Keep in mind certain plants will require more maintenance than others.
Homes with larger areas may benefit from the addition of a fence. Fences are great for providing separation into your outdoor entertainment space. The separation can make your outdoor spot more visually appealing. This is an ideal accent for those who want a clear “eating”, “dining” or “lounging” area.
You can also make your outdoor entertainment area rustic, comfy, and stylish with a fire pit. Think of it as the perfect option for a circular sitting area. It can provide a great focal point.
You may also want to consider including water features in your outdoor space. Soft water sounds can make any outdoor space feel like the ideal spot for a tranquil retreat. Adding a pool or hot tub is another idea you can do to take the design and use of your entertainment space to another level.
