Pro Tips for Merging Indoor & Outdoor Dining Spaces



Gone are the days when a simple patio table and chairs were the height of guests outdoor dining experience. Today’s outdoor spaces now rival and sometimes transcend the looks and functionality of indoor dining spaces. Winning designs seamlessly transition from indoors to out, merging spaces beautifully together into a cohesive, functional whole, enhancing and extending revenue generating space.

How Can You Create a Seamless Transition from Indoors to Out?

  1. Incorporate Complementary Architecture
    When designing your outdoor space, add decorative touches that mimic those within your venue, such as beams, arches, transoms, and columns. Likewise, mirroring light fixture, countertop, and flooring choices (where compatible with the outdoor climate) ensures a smooth transition between indoor and outdoor areas.

  2. Use a Similar Design Scheme
    Choosing similar colors that reflect the decorating theme of adjoining rooms creates a sense of flow. Take note of key colors, as well as furniture, upholstery, and accessory styles, extending the same motif throughout both indoor and outdoor spaces.

  3. Add Functionality
    The most cohesive designs lure people in with elements such as comfortable furnishings with ample space for lounging, an inviting fire feature, beautiful greenery, and functional additions like an outdoor bar seating, or an entertainment system with Wi-Fi connectivity.

  4. Refine Your Outdoor Space with Flexible Shelter
    Collapsible doors or glass doors, leading to a
    covered patio area, creates a smooth transition between indoor and outdoor environments, tying the spaces together and enhancing functionality. Outfitting your outdoor space with a StruXure louvered roof system helps to ensure a clean, dry, comfortable space year-round, allowing your dining guests to transition from indoors to out without being affected by changing weather.
