The definition of the adjective
deluxe means
of special elegance, sumptuousness, or fineness; high or highest in quality, luxury, etc. The origin of the word is from the French word
de luxe,
of luxury.
There is no denying the appeal of what we call a
deluxe outdoor living space. These outdoor living combination spaces marry the
function and aesthetic elements of two or more outdoor structures allowing
them to function as one large space. You may also see these versatile
spaces referred to as “outdoor rooms” in the media.
Archadeck of Central SC has watched the popularity of this type of outdoor living environment
soar to new heights over the past few years. Homeowners have developed
an increasing desire to transfer more of the assets and luxuries of interior
living to the outdoors.
To appreciate the concept of deluxe outdoor living, you only need to consider
the parts of your home you use for relaxing, entertaining and other recreational
activities: the living or family room, the dining room, the kitchen, a
parlor, media room or playroom. Now, simply take those areas and think
about moving their functions outside, and voilà… you have
discovered the appeal of the deluxe outdoor living combination space!
The only difficult part for homeowners considering a combo outdoor living
space addition is deciding which structures to combine in order to gain
the most benefits for their individual needs! Quality designed and built
outdoor structures are a lot like potato chips…
it’s hard to stop with just one!
With that in mind, take a look at some examples of Archadeck of Central
SC deluxe outdoor living spaces in our video featured on our
YouTube channel:
The Deck & Porch or Patio & Porch Combination
Choosing a deck and porch, or patio and porch, outdoor living combination
is for the homeowner who wants to “have their cake and eat it too.”
Decks and patios offer open air outdoor living spaces that are easily
complemented by seating walls, a pergola and outdoor kitchen or even an
outdoor fire feature. The only limitation to an uncovered outdoor living
space is that in some circumstances, the weather can affect its functionality.
By combining a patio or deck with an
open porch or screened porch you and your family will have a haven when the weather becomes unfavorable
and a shady spot to enjoy on even the sunniest of days. Porches can be
designed to include a wealth of creature comforts such as ceiling fans,
TV, wet bar and more.
The Deck & Patio Combination
Decks are the epitome of outdoor living spaces. They are as American as apple
pie, and most homeowners begin their outdoor living combinations with
a deck and branch out from there. Decks complement almost every outdoor
living structure, from pergolas to patios.
Patios, in particular, look good and function well when used in a deck and patio
combination. This is due to the natural flow created when a deck gently
descends into a patio. The combination opens up and extends your outdoor
living space, enhancing it. There are more factors at work here than just
the added space a deck and patio provide — much more. Decks are
generally built from wood or a natural-looking “wood-toned”
synthetic material, whereas patios are built from natural stone or hardscape
materials that emulate the look and feel of stone. Wood and stone are
elements that flow well together. Even in nature, if you look closely
you may catch the beauty of a babbling brook laden with stones and hardwoods
weeping gently over the bank.
