Creating an outdoor living room just as comfortable as your one indoors is high on most people's wish list. We’d all love a welcoming and comfortable place to sit, chill and eat outdoors. And this space needs as much good planning as an outdoor kitchen idea. Nailing the ideal soft furnishings, lighting, weather-friendly rugs, perfect paving and surrounding plants that require little or no maintenance, will free up precious time to enjoy relaxing outside day and night. Add a firepit or chiminea and it'll hit the mark all year-round.
But what can go wrong? Planning and creating this space demands just as much care as anywhere else in the home, and there are certainly outdoor living room mistakes to avoid at all costs.
