The most well-designed outdoor living spaces serve as extensions of our home and life. These spaces need to work not only as outdoor rooms that are beautiful, but fulfill a purpose! Whether you already have an outdoor room or are dreaming of creating one someday, I hope you love these gorgeous and functional outdoor living spaces as much as I do!
Ever since visiting my aunt and uncle on St. Thomas USVI back in college and seeing all of their gorgeous outdoor living spaces, I’ve been fascinated with the idea of outdoor rooms. They had 3 different dining “rooms” outside and the whole home was an open concept. When you walked through the front door the back door was open to a view of the bay below. But I was most intrigued by their outdoor laundry “room,” which was merely one wall of a covered patio and a washer a dryer. So fun!
I hope you’ll find the same inspiration with these amazing outdoor living spaces!
