How to Create a Seamless Indoor/Outdoor Space

High-end Residential

Homeowners love the latest trend in open-concept living – doors and windows that bring the outdoors inside and vice versa. Indoor/outdoor spaces create a welcoming environment for your friends and family to relax, cookout, and soak up the sun with easy access to the indoors. Large, moveable glass features let in the breeze and safely shut out stormy weather. Here are some tips about designing your dream indoor/outdoor space.

Open Concept Living Brings the Outdoors Indoors

Window and door options for indoor/outdoor spaces

The main feature of this design is large, mobile glass doors and windows, the bigger the better. Among the options offered by Vista View are:

Maximum View impact-resistant windows

Counter-to-ceiling windows with pass-throughs

Sliding glass doors

French doors

And more

With any large window installation, builders and homeowners need to consider Florida’s building codes as well as common sense safety precautions. Glass should meet impact requirements specific to the location of the building. Windows and doors should lock easily and close completely and smoothly, to protect the family and the home.

Choose Your View for Your Perfect Indoor/Outdoor Space

Whether your glass is going into new construction or a home renovation, the placement considerations are the same. You are bringing the outside view into your home. Will you be watching your family and friends splash in the pool? Or a beautiful intercoastal view of the sunrise? You can decide what you see while enjoying the fresh breeze through an open sliding glass door. Once you locate available wall space large enough to hold your dream windows or doors alongside the view you want to experience, you’ve found your indoor/outdoor space.

Perfect Furniture for Indoor/Outdoor Spaces

Now that you’ve invested in beautiful windows and doors, it is time to decorate. You are looking for furniture that gives an indoor feeling with weather-stable features. Some examples:

Glass and wood-look materials for tables, chairs and lounges

Comfy cushions and fabrics that are waterproof and fade-resistant

Kitchen features such as an outdoor sink or built-in grill

Just like the natural environment, the furniture you chose will be part of the expanded view, so pick things you like to look at that also make your family comfortable.

Bring the Beauty in, Keep the Pests Out

If concerns about bugs and critters invading your home are holding you back from building your dream indoor/outdoor space, we know. Mosquitoes, mice, lizards – all our natural fauna should stay outside. Here’s a few tips:

Screens are a great defense. Consider high-visibility or retractable screens to keep critters out while preserving the clarity of the view.

Fans strategically placed to blow on sitting areas and across thresholds can keep mosquitoes under control. They are bad flyers and do not do well in wind.

Consult with pest control experts who know your region well to find additional strategies for the specific pests you are likely to meet.
