Top tips for creating the perfect outdoor room

One of the best things about living in Australia is our ideal climate for embracing the outdoors and the ability to create a resort-like home, bringing the outdoors in via an outdoor room. Your home is your haven, and with some creative expression and the best outdoor decking products available, it’s not difficult to bring your vision to life for a personalised outdoor living space that is beautiful and functional for relaxation, comfort and entertaining.

The key to a perfect outdoor room is to blur the line between indoors and outdoors, allowing a natural flow between the two to open your home and take advantage of all its potential. This can be achieved in several ways, including:

• Transitioning naturally between the indoors and the outside room
• Continuing your colour scheme and design aesthetic with furnishings and décor, reflecting the inside style and décor outside
• Installing a covered patio or pergola
• Installing glass doors to link the two areas for an open flow
• Drawing the eye with feature lighting
• Featuring plenty of greenery with potted plants or raised garden walls
• Facilitating warmth in winter (fire pit or fireplace) and cool in summer (ceiling fans, evergreen canopy trees)
• Installing weather-resistant shades or blinds to maximise usability in all conditions

First and foremost, to create a stunning outdoor room, you need to lay the right foundation…

Your Foundation: Outdoor Decking

The primary, and perhaps most effective, single way to link your outdoor room with your interiors is to have a seamless flow between the two, and this is best achieved by laying the right foundation: your floors.

By using the same flooring inside and outside, the eye will be drawn outside, and the outside will be brought in. This is even more effective when wall barriers between the two areas are openable glass and flush thresholds.
