It may not feel like fall right now, but the leaves are starting to turn and the equinox has officially declared the start of the season earlier this week! The change in season always gets our team thinking about the weather to come and how our homeowners can enjoy their LBI custom home all season long. As lifelong locals, we know that life on LBI doesn’t stop just because summer is over. Some of us might even argue the fun is just beginning! We asked our team what their favorite fall features to incorporate into LBI custom homes that help our homeowners extend their season on the island.
Fireplaces and Firepits
There is nothing cozier than staring into the crackling flames on a crisp fall night, a feat that can be achieved in two ways: with a gorgeous fireplace that becomes the focal point of a great room or an intimate firepit area in a well-designed patio perfect for making s’mores and chatting with friends. Fire- -places and -pits create a comfortable ambience that’s perfect for casual get-togethers or a quiet date night spent in the privacy of your LBI custom home.
Season Rooms, Screened-In Porches, and Outdoor Living Rooms
When it comes to dedicating space to soak in the sunlight and the natural beauty of LBI, there are plenty of options. For those of us who want to enjoy the great outdoors without being in the great outdoors, season rooms and screened-in porches are the perfect solution to getting in some quality sunshine and fresh air while still enjoying the comforts of being indoors. But what if you could get all the same comforts of your LBI custom home thanks to an outdoor living room?
An outdoor living room is the ultimate patio set-up. Spacious seating area, optional firepit, potential for an outdoor T.V., and different shading options like pergolas or retractable awnings are a great way to extend your living space and achieve the perfect balance of indoor-outdoor living.
Not to mention, the option of heated patio flooring is a major bonus when designing an outdoor living room! You heard us right: your LBI custom home’s patio could have heated flooring to help keep things nice and toasty on chilly autumn nights! When planning your dream LBI custom home consider how you want to maximize your comfort and quality of life through the addition of luxurious home features that not only look good but make your life easier. Looking for this home to be a vacation destination for your family for years to come? Extend your season from early spring and through the fall by incorporating features you can enjoy year-round, making it possible to enjoy your LBI custom home even longer every year!
