What should I do about outdoor living spaces?

By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®

Start with the basics: clean the patio or deck, add comfortable seating, and create shade with an umbrella or awning. Use outdoor rugs and cushions to define the space. Add string lights or lanterns for ambiance. Consider a fire pit or grill as a focal point. Protect furniture with covers during bad weather. Think about how you want to use the space before buying anything.

Why It Matters

Well-designed outdoor living spaces extend your usable square footage and provide room for relaxation, entertaining, and connecting with neighbors.
