The Importance of the Indoor Outdoor Living in Small Home Designs
When you're living in a small or compact home, the way you use your outdoor living space can be important. The most popular small home designs in NSW & ACT offer a mix of indoor and outdoor areas so you can maximise space to host a dinner party or enjoy a family fun day.
Here at McDonald Jones Homes, we’ve designed countless new homes of all shapes and sizes, including smaller homes with a thoughtful and seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. Take a look at what we’ve learned about indoor outdoor living over the years to inspire your modern home design.
Use The Garden To Make New Homes Feel Extra Spacious
With a thoughtfully designed outdoor area, your home will feel larger and offer more room to roam. A decked alfresco area is a great way to connect your indoor space with the great outdoors, and a roof means you can use this spot rain or shine. If you set up the outdoor area with a comfortable dining setting and a quiet lounge seat, you will have several places to relax and enjoy the fresh air.
Let The Light In With Large, Luxurious Windows
In modern home design, one of the best ways to make a room feel bigger and brighter is to install large windows in the right locations. When you can see the outdoors from inside, it gives you a bigger sense of visual perspective and makes for a more tranquil home environment. Our new home builders recommend sliding stacker or large glass doors that allow for more light to stream into your home.
Grow Your Garden & Embrace Lush Greenery
You can live on a small block of land and make your garden goals a reality. To maximise garden space, consider turning one of your boundary fences into a wall garden full of vegetation. Use the veranda and walls of your home as an opportunity to put up hanging potted plants and add visual appeal to the outdoor area. With a little bit of creativity, new homes of all sizes can be fertile territory for resplendent foliage.
