Is Your Favorite Living Room the One in Your Yard?

What do we mean by outdoor living spaces?

Outdoor living spaces have long been a way of life in warm climates like Southern California.  Recently this trend is spilling over, especially into areas like Victoria where we can spend a lot of the year in our gardens.

The creation of outdoor living spaces like decks, porches and patios is replacing the traditional backyard lawn.  Along with this comes an increase in features such as fireplaces, brick ovens and comfortable and attractive garden furniture.

Why extend your living space outside?

People love to spend time in their gardens and creating a comfortable living space is a natural extension of this.  An outdoor living space can increase the total living space of the home giving more room for living in general.

One sure way to raise the value of your home is to think of ways to add structural interest to your backyard, side yard, patio and deck.  Last year, 48% of 600 residential architectural firms surveyed reported that upscale landscaping is on the increase.

Gates as Furniture

At Victoria Wood Studio we treat our gates as furniture. They are designed to create a harmonious flow between your house and garden.  They can draw on architectural features of your home.  They are constructed like furniture using traditional joinery and the best quality clear western red cedar.  Our gates are passageways, they give the feeling of being a grand entrance, a hallway, into your outdoor living room.

Gates Give the First and Last Impression of your Home

At Victoria Wood Studio our gates create a stunning first impression of your home.  Our passageways create a visual impact that extends into your outdoor living space. If you want to set up an appointment to view our scale models and portfolio give us a call at 889-2308 or .
