Entertaining al fresco has never been as popular as it is today. The more time people are spending in their homes, the more they want to enjoy their outdoor spaces and tailor them to be more functional and meaningful. Redesigning an outdoor space not only increases the usable living space of your home, but it also provides a comfortable venue in which to relax, or entertain guests in a more casual setting, and can increase your property’s resale value.

We asked Gil Walsh to share some design ideas that will make any tired or dated outdoor space really shine. Gil shares:

“Over the last 25+ years of comprehensive design services for our clients in Florida, New York, and Martha’s Vineyard, outdoor living spaces are one of our specialties. When designing a home, especially in South Florida, I always blend the outdoors with the indoor. In tropical weather like South Florida, a covered space is essential! An outdoor dining and lounge area should preferably be under cover, with comfortable durable furnishings, great lighting and music. And don’t forget a bar area, it’s great for entertaining or just relaxing outdoors after a hectic week.”
