Fully equipped outdoor kitchen. Very popular in California, outdoor kitchens here are fully equipped and offer plenty of comforts and entertainments, for all the moments together outdoors on the patio.
Relaxation area. An outdoor space can be an extension of your indoor living space, complete with relaxation area or living room, we have seen it several times. The California style outdoor kitchens then provide a rather spacious relaxation area, with sofas, chaise longues, coffee tables.
Entertainment. What could be better than an oasis of outdoor entertainment? These days you might even think about video games or streaming platforms, which can serve you for any occasion: from a party to relaxation after an evening meal.
Fireplace. An outdoor fireplace brings all the comfort of the interiors to the “outside”. Providing warmth and a cosy ambience, an outdoor fireplace is a perfect place to gather on a cool night holding a drink or herbal tea (take your pick).

California Room. We have already come across the option of the California Room in other articles, i.e. spaces that offer shade and protection from the elements. A California Room is then an enclosed space, with windows or screens, that can contain everything you need to relax.
