Your outdoor space is an extension of your home. It’s where you entertain, relax, and make memories, so it should be comfortable and tailored to your lifestyle. If you’re looking for an outdoor renovation that will elevate your backyard this season, Norm Hughes Homes is here to help. Try these exterior home remodel ideas to make the most of your space all summer long and beyond!
1. Install a Full Outdoor Kitchen + Dining Area
Create the perfect space for summer cookouts with a built-in outdoor kitchen. From stone countertops to grills, fridges, and prep sinks, a custom outdoor kitchen brings the convenience of your indoor kitchen outdoors. Pair it with a covered dining area for dinners, parties, and family gatherings to enjoy it with those you love all season.
2. Spend Cozy Nights by the Fire Pit
Transform your outdoor space into a cozy retreat with a custom-built fire pit. Add custom seating or a built-in bench so you can enjoy nights around the fire with family and friends. Whether it’s for roasting marshmallows or relaxing under the stars, this feature adds both warmth and ambiance to the exterior of your home.
3. Build a Custom Deck Made for Outdoor Living
Design a deck that goes beyond the basics and becomes your favorite “room” in the house. Whether you’re expanding an existing deck or starting from scratch, consider creating distinct “zones” for dining, relaxing, and entertaining. From shaded dining areas to sunny lounging spots—and maybe even room for a hot tub—a custom deck gives you the flexibility to enjoy your backyard your way.
4. Enjoy the Summer From Your Screened-In Porch
Love the outdoors but not the insects, pollen, or pop-up summer storms? A screened-in porch gives you the best of both worlds. It’s the perfect place to sip your morning coffee, enjoy dinner with friends, or unwind after a long day—no bug spray required.
5. Open Up Your Indoor Space to the Outdoors
One of the most impactful changes you can make is installing multi-slide glass doors or pocket doors that open your home completely to your outdoor spaces. Whether you’re connecting a living room to a deck or a kitchen to a patio, these doors create a seamless flow and let in the fresh air.
