People are creating an extension of the home by adding ways to entertain — such as outdoor kitchens with pizza ovens.
If you’re using your outdoor space for entertaining, make sure you have somewhere for people to sit or somewhere for people to dine outside.
“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.
“Sheds aren’t just about storage any more.”
