Outdoor entertaining area advice please!!
Comments (7)Were the original plants Ficus by any chance? There are trees that you could use to fit in between those day beds like the newer mop tops - not the Robinia which suckers profusely. You dont want anything too big, just a small tree with a trunk and a canopy. I would put them in between the seats and at each end and you can keep the canopies trimmed. Ficus should NEVER be planted anywhere near homes, not even as street trees - their roots are just appalling. They are great in pots, but leave them there. Another option to consider would be the native Frangipani - Hymenosporum flavum. Do some research - its fun!...See MoreOutdoor entertaining area
Comments (7)what can you see looking back at the house from the courtyard and the undercover area? what rooms overlook these areas? will the entertaining area be used by crowds or smaller groups? do you need to walk through these areas to the pool? what size pizza oven and barbq are you planning? what do you use the undercover area for now? what is the size of the undercover area? have you consider an outdoor kitchen in the undercover area with small table for everyday and a big dining table with market umbrella in the paved area and the fireplace with seating area at the far end of the courtyard...See MoreIndoor/outdoor entertaining area
Comments (3)it depends on what the space will be built out of, how big, do you want the floor at the same height as inside or at ground level, how do you want to use the space, your climate, the inside rooms and do you want to connect the two spaces with wide opening doors.. what about shelter for wind and rain and bugs..do you want a roof and walls?? a simple pergola covered with shade cloth at ground level with some pavers could be the cheapest DIY option for a few thousand for materials and time and effort...anything more elaborate will be more expensive...See Moreidea for rear wall of outdoor entertainment area
Comments (4)If you are doing a Hamptosn style renovation then I would be consistant, and play up the symmetry, such as in this photo. You really want the pool and outlook to be the focal point, and not your splashback. I would go with a mirrored splashback to brick more light into your space and provide a better connection with your pool, rather than making the splashback a feature element. Best of luck with your considerations, Dr Retro of Dr Retro House Calls...See More
