If you haven’t jumped on the outdoor living space train, the time is now. Designated, outdoor living spaces are among the most popular home design concepts among builders and designers today. Year after year, more people are opting to build in their space. It only makes sense for an outdoor living space to follow, right? To spice up your custom home’s outdoor space, consult the following Fischer and Frichtel suggestions:

• Find a rug to bring your space together. As the times have changed, so have the options for outdoor decorating. Outdoor rugs now come in many colors, sizes and designs for your choosing.
• Get a little dramatic with the lighting. Inside your custom home, you choose to highlight rooms with such fixtures as chandeliers, sconces, track lighting and dimmers…why not do the same outdoors? Lighting has the power to transform a space and by adding simple touches like tree lights or large candles, it may be just the answer you are looking for.
• Touch up your furniture. Furniture is certainly the most expensive part about redesigning an outdoor space, which explains why many people choose not to replace their old pieces. By simply touching up old pieces, your custom outdoor space can look like a million bucks. Give dated furniture a good cleaning with a power washing or a fresh coat of paint and you will be good to go!
• Accessorize! Express your style through fun accessories. Lanterns, pillows and space sculptures are a great way to make your space “pop”.
