The Best Upgrades for Your Outdoor Living Space
What better way to kick back on the weekends than in your own modern outdoor living space. Amenities such as mounted flat screen TVs, ceiling fans, multicolored pool lights, and strategically placed landscape lighting can make all the difference when spending time outdoors with family or entertaining guests and can even add to your property value.
Outdoor Ceiling Fans
Let’s face it, Houston summer can be unbearable and often leaves most of us staring out the window wishing we could stand being outside for more than five minutes. If you have a covered patio, have you considered installing an outdoor ceiling fan? They are truly the most effective solution to enjoying your backyard while keeping cool during those 90º+ days!
A damp or wet ceiling fan is your best option, especially for Houston weather. Damp ceiling fans are designed with motors that resist moisture damage and have all-weather blades to prevent warping. They are best used in areas that do not receive large amounts of direct precipitation, such as covered porches and patios, or sunrooms. Wet ceiling fans go the next step and are designed for more industrial and weather-proof conditions.
Landscape Lighting
When the sun goes down, you can finally enjoy your outdoor living space to the fullest, but you’ll need to see, too! Strategically placed landscape lighting is the way to go. The right landscape lighting can highlight specific areas of your property and make them stand out from the darkness. From pathway lights to tree and garden spotlights, the size of your property is the only limit!
Pool and Spa Lighting
Pool lights are essential for late night swimming, but did you know you can install lights that even change colors? Change the ambience of your pool area with multicolor LED pool lights. They come with pink, purple, dark blue, and green filters that can be controlled with a separate remote. You can even set the lights to alternate between the different colors creating a watery wonderland in your very own backyard!
LED pool lights are energy efficient, which will help your longterm budget as pools and spas are often a hefty expense on their own. They are convenient to use as you can leave them on without worrying about additional energy charges. Say goodbye to dull pool lights that need to be replaced often!
Flat Screen TV Mounting
Nothing goes better together than Texas barbecue and sports, but how annoying is it trying to watch the game through a window while grilling? Fret not, there is a solution to this conundrum! Consider installing a flat screen TV for your covered patio. Now you can enjoy the game without worrying about burning the brisket!
