Outdoor Living Spaces the Newest Luxury





Even though the real estate market has slowed and the stock market is unsteady, it seems that homeowners are still spending away, just on different things. I've spoken to a lot of homeowners that are skipping the vacations this year and putting money into home improvements, or more specifically, outdoor kitchens. Outdoor living spaces are the hottest trend in home improvement, and it has the potential of being the ultimate luxury and convenience. Arizona's Fall, Winter and Spring months provide cool evening temperatures that create the perfect climate for dining "al fresco" with family and friends, and it's never too cold to enjoy your morning coffee and newspaper relaxing in the luxury of your own back yard. It is however easy to go overboard when creating a space for outdoor entertaining, and it goes way beyond the now so common swimming pool and spa. Homeowners are adding items including built in BBQ's and cook tops, fireplaces, water features, outdoor heaters, and televisions. If you really feel like indulging you can even install an outdoor dishwasher. And you can't forget the cozy furniture and ambient lighting to give the space real atmosphere. Creating an inviting living space outdoors not only creates envy from your neighbors, it also adds value to your home. It's easy to understand why homeowners would chose to invest in enhancing their outdoor living space when it's a feature that can be enjoyed year round.
