"A lot of people want to create this
as an extension of the home, and
they're adding ways to entertain —
such as outdoor kitchens with pizza
ovens," Kosc says. "With TVs or
projectors, they're turning their back-
yards into movie theatres."
Adding to the outdoor appeal, even
sheds are becoming fancier.
"Sheds aren't just about storage
any more," Kosc says. "They are
more esthetic than ever. It's not just
about a shed with four walls. People
are looking for designer spaces."
For those looking to spruce up their
open-air areas, McMunn & Yates can
help homeowners decide how to
create their own little worlds.
"For the most part, it would be
evaluating what you're using the
space for and tailoring it to your
own needs and wants. If you're
using it for entertaining, make sure
you have somewhere for people to
sit or somewhere for people to dine
outside," Kosc says.
