4 Reason to Build an Outdoor Entertainment Space

Bader Obeid • January 20, 2017

Why Build An Outdoor Entertainment Area

Taking advantage of your outdoor space for entertaining is one of the best things you can do to enhance the overall value and usability of your property. Moreover, there are countless options for new outdoor designs, including functional kitchens, patios surrounded by breathtaking water features, and covered spaces that provide comfortable shelter from the elements at all times of the year. The flooring and design experts at CMA Flooring Carrollton, TX, offer 4 reasons why you should consider investing in this popular upgrade.

1. Increase Your Property’s Value

If you aren’t regularly investing in home improvements, you run the risk of having your investment fall behind the current standard for comparable properties in your area. An outdoor entertainment area can boost the overall marketability and appeal of your abode along with its assessed value. Additions like these increase the amount of usable space for both guests and household members.

2. Limit Outdoor Maintenance

With a functional outdoor kitchen, a patio, or an impressive water feature, you can limit the amount of ongoing maintenance you have to perform. Having these spaces often means having fewer landscaped areas that have to be mowed, clipped, and watered.

3. Reduce Indoor Foot Traffic

Having a place to entertain guests outdoors can bode well for your home décor. An outdoor space limits foot traffic that could diminish the bright, stain-free appeal of your carpet flooring and other indoor design elements. When guests congregate outside of your home for parties, you won’t have to worry about spilled food or wine or messy handprints on your matte wall paint or carefully polished accessories.

4. Boost Your Health

Most modern outdoor entertainment areas include functional kitchens, which can range from high-end wood-fired pizza ovens to simple standalone grills. One of the greatest benefits of these property additions is the fact they encourage healthy eating. Homeowners are much less prone to cooking heavy, high-carb meals when preparing food outdoors. Outside cookouts are best known for lean, grilled meats, fresh fish, roasted ears of corn, and savory, seared vegetables. Investing in backyard amenities for food preparation is a great way to start feeding yourself and your loved ones more delicious and incredibly healthy fare.

As a design consultant, I spend a lot of time guiding clients through the finishing touches that make their remodels feel both beautiful and lasting. More often than not, I recommend a look that’s soft, timeless, and effortlessly elegant. That look now has a name: the cashmere kitchen — and it’s still going strong. So, what is a cashmere kitchen ? Think of it like your favorite cashmere sweater: soft, classic, comfortable, and a little bit luxurious — without being flashy. Some designers even call it a soft neutral kitchen or a timeless kitchen. The idea is the same: subtle luxury that feels as good as it looks. Key Elements of a Cashmere Kitchen Cabinets : Warm neutrals such as soft greige (J&K Pebble) paired with a warm wood accent like J&K Butterscotch. Countertops : White quartz with gentle gold and brown veining for a polished yet understated look. Hardware : Champagne bronze for subtle warmth; matte black for contrast on darker cabinets. Floors : Light, natural hardwood like Regal Alton to keep the space airy. Backsplash : Glossy, handmade-look tile (SOHO Surfaces) that adds texture and visual interest. Overall feel : Everything flows together. No harsh contrasts — just understated details that shine. This is what makes the cashmere kitchen such a perfect example of a comfort luxe kitchen : elegant, but inviting. Why Homeowners Love a Cashmere Kitchen A cashmere kitchen design checks a lot of boxes for today’s homeowners: Timeless appeal – Won’t feel dated in a few years. Easy to personalize – Add your own touch with lighting, décor, or barstools. Resale - friendly – Neutral palettes appeal to a wide audience. Relaxing atmosphere – The mood is calm, cozy, and inviting. It’s the perfect balance of modern and classic — Shaker cabinet doors provide tradition, quartz countertops keep it current, and metallic hardware adds polish. Many homeowners see it as a classic warm neutral kitchen because it feels both stylish and practical. Cashmere Kitchen vs. Transitional Kitchen
