Top Outdoor Living Space Ideas for Hosting and Entertaining Guests



Transforming your backyard into an inviting outdoor living space takes the limits off hosting others. With the optimal setup, you can enjoy al fresco dining while making lasting memories. Whether you’re grilling at sunset or gathering around a cozy firepit on a chilly night, an outdoor living space makes entertaining a breeze. 


You aren’t limited to the square footage of your home interior when hosting others. A stylish, comfortable, well-planned backyard gives guests plenty of room to relax. Read on to discover options that make your yard the perfect place to gather friends and family. 


Blend Beauty, Comfort, and Function in Your Custom Outdoor Living Space


With the backdrop of the great outdoors, hosting and entertaining guests takes on a refreshing vibe. Reimagine your backyard with the perfect amenities to enjoy with others.


Outdoor Kitchen


With all the amenities you need at your fingertips, an outdoor kitchen designed for cooking, dining, and memorable moments with those you love most is a must. Begin with a grill, ample counter space for meal preparation, a sink for convenient cleanup, generous cabinets for storage, an outdoor refrigerator to keep food cold, ambient lighting for evenings, and comfortable, durable outdoor seating for relaxing with your guests. From bar seating to luxurious lounges and a dining table, ensure there are plenty of places to relax and dine adjacent to your outdoor kitchen. 


Sunken Firepit


Foster warmth and togetherness around a stunning outdoor fire pit. With comfortable, attractive seating and gorgeous crackling flames, this irresistible space makes connecting with others memorable. Elevate your entertaining options by calling on our design-build process. Get creative by mixing natural stone and rich wood decking for contrast, creating a hidden refuge in your backyard that you can enjoy under the stars. Include soft, ambient light to complement the charm, making the space welcoming and safe in the dark of night. Add some cozy accessories—like blankets, outdoor pillows, and side tables for snacks—and you’re all set! 


Multi-Level Decking


Host intimate family gatherings or unforgettable large celebrations with friends by building a multi-level deck. Give your guests plenty of space to unwind by creating various zones on your deck. Friends will move seamlessly between levels, maximizing their enjoyment. 


Begin with attractive bench seating along the deck’s perimeter; add a generous dining table anchored with an attractive outdoor rug beneath. Build a pergola over the dining area to make the space comfortable for daytime gatherings. Include a bar with a well-equipped kitchenette, or a full-fledged outdoor kitchen on your spacious deck. Design a luxurious lounging area with an inviting, durable outdoor couch and plush seats that make it feel like an outdoor living room. Include a comfy porch swing just for fun. Add a pop of color with potted plants full of fresh greenery and flowers, and you’re ready to entertain! 


Fireplace


Transform your backyard into a luxurious, welcoming space that’s ideal for hosting others, or simply sitting in solitude by the fire. The perfect focal point to your outdoor living area, a fireplace offers the ideal ambiance for delightful conversation, savory treats, and fresh air. Add a big screen TV above the mantle, and enjoy a sports game or movie with the warmth of the fireplace crackling softly. A wood-burning fireplace with a tall, stone chimney provides a visual anchor to a spacious outdoor entertaining area. 


Infratech Heaters


An open-air gathering on a chilly fall or winter day calls for a little help with some heat. A large outdoor deck, pavilion, or patio can be enjoyed longer each year by installing Infratech Heaters. Friends will linger later in the evening when they are warm and cozy in your space. 


Outdoor Putting Green


Just outside your elegant pergola or porch, why not add an outdoor putting green for the golfers in your circle? You’ll have loads of fun with your fellow golfers, and your skills are bound to improve. Synthetic greens require almost no maintenance and are always ready to go. No trimming, watering, weeding, etc. Just enjoy! 


Pool House 


A pool is a sure way to draw people together. Add to that a pool house where adults can comfortably relax while kids play in the pool, and you’re all set. Equip your space with a kitchen or kitchenette so you can prepare and serve snacks and drinks from the convenience of the pool house. Add seating with a view of the pool so guests can relax. Stylish stonework will give the area a luxurious feel that boosts its appeal. Include a TV to enhance the entertainment options with a game or movie. 


Outdoor Bath


After entertaining family and friends, be sure you have a place to unwind that is solely for you. Surrounded by plants and greenery to create natural privacy, an outdoor bath space can be crafted so you have a peaceful place to relax in the solitude of your backyard. Install a classic claw-foot tub or a Japanese soaking tub that is deeper and more luxurious than other tubs. This gives your backyard a spa-like feel. Add ambient lighting, a towel hook, and a small shelf for a relaxing cup of tea, and you’re all set.
