"Outdoor Room" (indoors)

Donna
hace 8 años
We are currently building and have what I am calling an outdoor room which opens with centre opening sliders (the width of one wall) onto an under cover courtyard. The room is 6x6, with three Windows as per picture. I am wanting to put in a television, modular lounge and a bar but am stuck in how to lay it out to make it work. The walls are all exposed brick as per picture. Anyone have any ideas? There is also double doors leading into home on the left hand wall looking in.

    Hi

    What fun to build your own home. A square room is tricky to furnish. I think the idea would be to divide and conquer! How about a modular lounge facing out into the garden, placed near to the wall with 3 windows (at the space between the front and second window)- coffee table in convenient spot - and potted tree in corner. Also place a floor rug to define that area. Place the TV on the wall beside the double entry doors so it can be viewed from the lounge.

    The back wall could contain the bar and glass shelf storage - maybe with mirrors on the wall to reflect the garden. Place some stools at the bar for guests. Add more greenery to camouflage the mirror edges.

    In the far right hand corner place a couple of rattan or cane chairs to view the garden and TV using another matching floor rug to define that area.

    In my imagination this room is furnished with natural fabrics, soft furnishings, sisal floor rugs and lots of greenery to soften the exposed brick. Various shades of green in soft furnishings with a hit of aqua, sea green and a touch of charcoal grey to balance.

    Have fun. Love to see what you decide.

      Hi. I've got a 6x6 deck, but mine has a bridge from back verandah across to it and it about 4metres off the ground, so it open all the way around (with a long eave, hopefully blocking wet season rain). I have two fans and wish I had put four in, but with 6x6 you have plenty of room to zone it. 4 lots of 3x3 or a long 6x3 and 2 lots of 3x3...it depends where that door to the left is placed. I wish I had put in four fans, so depending where you sit would determine which fan was running. If you put a bar in, make sure isn't permanent....why not a trolley for the drinks and a small fridge (or some eeieeio eskies?) on the verandah part. For a room like this I reckon less is more!

      Is there a view & what direction does the main door face? Is sun flooding in at all & what is the ceiling/roof going to be like?

      You could mount a TV which can swing out from the entry wall from the main house, or on the one opposite one near the back sliding doors, or on the floor, in the corner. Depending if you need storage on the back wall, you could have your lounge at the back of the room, or have a walkway between the back wall and the lounge. An easy moving lounge is great for moving into different positions around the room. I like the idea of the bar as a drinks trolley. Actually furniture on wheels is great for rearranging whenever you like. I usually have wheels mounted to furniture as I live on my own and it just makes it so much easier. Another idea, is a buffet across the wall of the three windows and a tele positioned placed above or on where the brick wall is in the middle of the three windows, and the buffet can act as a bar and whatever else.

      Appreciate all the feedback, am very lucky to live on 200 hundred acres. My views are of a sweeping valley with Angus cattle in the foreground, and ocean in the distance ... picture perfect.

      What style do you have in mind? Rustic or contemporary, industrial with brick walls and what flooring? Polished concrete, tiles, floating timber? Do you want a pool table in there?

      Can you plumb a sink into the bar? Having it on the back wall seems logical but you may want to consider access from the undercover area.

      If you can put the tv on the left front wall & place an L shape modular lounge facing the view & connecting with the outdoor undercover. This should give space for flow in & out. In the back left could have a bar table & stools or a corner booth style seating instead of the usual bar layout which would put their backs to the view & tv.
