Add Space to Your Home
An outdoor living room gives you additional space where you can live, relax, and spend your time. Outdoor spaces are typically used as a hybrid of a living room and dining room. If you like to grill, that space can also double as an outdoor kitchen. This provides an extension of the available living space inside your home.

Improve Your Comfort
Covering your patio or building a pergola allows you to create an outdoor living room with similar comforts to other rooms in your house. It also allows you to enjoy nature without being affected by the weather. A patio cover allows you to hang drapes or shades to block wind and bugs, and protects your outdoor furniture.
Have Fun Decorating
Let’s face it, it’s fun getting to decorate a new room. Having the space protected from the elements means you can be a little more generous about how you decorate. It’s not uncommon to see curtains, rugs, throw pillows and wall art in an outdoor living room. Almost any comfort you enjoy inside can be brought outside.
