Today we are talking about tips to create a beautiful exterior design your friends and family will love. Read on to learn more!

Comfortable Seating

While this may seem like an obvious point, it can be difficult to design a space that meets all the needs of your group while taking full advantage of your property. If you have a lakefront home, it's a good idea to make sure your lounge furniture is facing the water for the best views. If the furniture is facing away from the Lake, you may find yourself and your guests frequently turning around their chairs to get a look at the beautiful sunset and activity on the water.

When planning your seating arrangements, think about how you will use the space ahead of time. Will it just be you and a few family members? Then it could be useful to have several areas set up to spend your time. One area can be set up for dining under the shade, while another can feature lounge furniture for spending lazy afternoons together. If you expect large groups of guests to regularly visit your lake house, it may be better to have one large area designed to host your whole group. John Elliott Interiors can help you design the perfect outdoor space for everyone in your crew to enjoy.

Outdoor Kitchen

These are becoming more popular in outdoor design. Rather than marooning one person inside to prepare dinner while everyone else enjoys the outdoors, you can all spend your time together around an outdoor kitchen. There are several different options ranging from small kitchenettes to full-sized kitchens on the patio. You can even have a kitchen added to your dock!

Gather around the Fire

Is there anything better than gathering around a bonfire at the end of a long day on the water? Incorporate a fire pit into your landscape or deck design to create the perfect place for you and your guests to gather and spend time making memories. There are several different options you can choose from to create a design that fits your personal style and exterior design. We can help you choose the perfect place in your design to add a fire pit that you will love.
