Enclosing your patio is like adding an extra room to your house, except you’re closer to nature. No bugs, no sunburn, no rain, and no humidity. But there are many different types of patio enclosures out there. Some are functional while others are primarily for looks; still others combine both elements.
Whether you’re going for an entertaining oasis or a cozy retreat, it’s time to take your outdoor living experience to the next level. Here are some ideas for patio enclosures from your Boston general contractors.
1. Glass Patio Enclosure
Enjoy a modern, sophisticated look when you upgrade your patio to a glass enclosure. Not only do you get unobstructed views of the outdoors, you get lots of natural light so the space feels like an extension of your yard and home. Use high-performance insulated glass to achieve year-round comfort.
2. Three-Season or Four-Season Room
Level up to a patio that can be used in three or four seasons. The most cost-effective is a three-season room because you don’t have to heat it. But if you’d like to use your patio enclosure all year round, it makes sense to make it four seasons. Why limit yourself to three quarters of the year when you can use it 365?
3. Motorized Pergola
A motorized pergola pulls double duty as a pergola and solid patio cover. This puts control in your hands to dictate the amount of shade or sun you want. Retractable enclosures can transform your patio into an entertainment or relaxation oasis. Host a dinner party under the stars, or relax in the morning with your cup of coffee. Your choice!
4. Outdoor Lighting
Lighting can set the mood for any outdoor living space, morphing your patio enclosure from ordinary to amazing with the touch of a button. Drape soft, glowing string lights around the space to achieve a warm, inviting ambiance. Or go with sleek, modern sconces for focused task lighting in your outdoor kitchen area.
5. Dining Areas
Who says a patio is just for sitting and having a cocktail? Why not have full-blown dinners in there as well? There’s truly nothing better than eating a delicious meal while immersed in nature. With a dedicated dining area, your patio enclosure can keep out the bugs and weather so you can enjoy a meal uninterrupted.
6. Living Room Style
Bring the creature comforts of outdoors inside with a patio enclosure that features a cozy living room setup. From soft blankets and pillows to comfortable seating, it’s easy to make the space feel just like your interior, except with the beauty of nature and fresh air. Curl up with a book or catch up with the girls over cocktails.
7. Add a Bar
Install a built-in bar for the ultimate party setup. Why run back and forth to the kitchen to make drinks? You’ll miss out on the conversation. Instead, add a full wet bar so you can make drinks and apps while never missing a beat. Go one step further and add a wine chiller, and plenty of storage for all the essentials (glassware, mixers, garnishes, alcohol). Impromptu happy hours are within your reach!
