Go Design drafting services Penshurst with things to consider when creating an outdoor room.

Creating a truly functional and relaxing room for outdoor living requires careful planning and our drafting professionals are here to help with some useful tips:

Firstly determine the size and layout – What activities do you want to accommodate? How big is your property and look at how much space you really want to take up. When situating your outdoor room, also consider the natural elements such as prevailing winds and orientation of the sun.

Take into consideration your home's architectural style – Your outdoor area should complement your home, rather than look like a complete add on. Our team of home building designers in Penshurst recommend choosing a design scheme that harmonises with your home and landscape, echoing the design of your indoor rooms.

Plan for privacy - Your outdoor room won't have walls, so if privacy and noise are concerns, you'll need to install a screening fence or tall landscaping plants between you and the neighbours.

Consider your shelter options – Awnings, umbrellas, gazebos, and pergolas supported by decorative concrete columns are all ways to shelter your outdoor guests from harsh sunlight and light rain while creating intimacy.
