Indoor-Outdoor Living in Atlanta

This Decatur family came to us looking for a complete renovation of their under-utilized backyard and small, outdoor deck. Their wish list included a functional design that would incorporate indoor-outdoor living and tie in with their Decatur home’s transitional aesthetic. The result is a stunning outdoor living area with a wealth of options for relaxing, entertaining, and outdoor dining. This classic southern-style covered porch, with its open gable roof, features a tongue and groove ceiling painted in a soft shade of blue and centers around an eye-catching wood burning brick fireplace with mounted tv and ample seating in a cheerful bright blue and green color scheme. A new set of French doors off the kitchen creates a seamless transition to the outdoor living room where a small, unused closet was revamped into a stylish, custom built-in bar complete with honed black granite countertops, floating shelves, and a stainless-steel beverage fridge. Adjacent to the lounge area is the covered outdoor dining room ideal for year-round entertaining and spacious enough to host plenty of family and friends without exposure to the elements. A statement pendant light above the large circular table and colorful green dining chairs add a fun and inviting atmosphere to the space. The lower deck includes a separate grilling station and leads down to the private backyard. A thoughtful landscape plan was designed to complement the natural surroundings and enhance the peaceful ambience of this gorgeous in-town retreat. An added bonus is the new storage room built under the deck with a set of custom French doors that make it easily accessible for our homeowners to use.
