Know your colour schemes
Remember, the key to having a seamless indoor-outdoor space is to tie it all together. Choose colours that you’re happy with both for your interiors and exteriors. Your colour palette should work both inside and outside, to create a space that feels united—you want outside to feel like a continuation of the inside space.
Upgrade old single doors
Think floor to ceiling windows, big double French doors or long bi-folding doors—all these options will really open up your living space and allow for easy inside-outside transition. The point of the indoor-outdoor space is to make it as easy as possible to move from inside to outside, and those old single sliding doors just won’t cut it for this style. Investing in some bi-fold doors will create that open space—fantastic for entertaining or keeping an eye on the kids!
Choose continuous flooring
Having similar flooring inside and out, such as hardwood, can make the transition from indoor to outdoor even more seamless. It’ll feel natural to move from the living area to the deck. Wooden floors will also tie in the foliage and nature of your outdoor space.
Invest in some hardwearing outdoor furniture
Hardwearing doesn’t have to mean ugly or uncomfortable! Investing in some comfortable and beautiful décor for your outdoor space means you will more likely use it! Just be sure to take good care of it—small things such as spraying cushions with waterproofing products, as well as installing some ceiling fans to keep the air from getting stagnant, will help protect your outdoor furniture.
