Popular Home Design Trends: Bringing the Outside In
Jun 6th, 2009 by Ke
Because of an increase in awareness in eco-friendly architecture, a trend that has taken a life of its own is homes that bring the outdoors inside. This doesn’t necessarily mean bombarding your living room with a multitude of greenery nor do you need to have an expansive indoor garden. The solution is actually quite simple.
In an attempt to make their homes look more environment friendly, what some folks do is to include outdoor elements of their homes to their interior floor plan. Gardens and yards become an extension of indoor spaces through the use of glass sliding doors that lead to decks and patios. “Outdoor rooms” may even incorporate kitchens with state-of-the-art grills and sinks. Go ahead; it’s time to get creative!
