Charlotte Outdoor Living Project Highlight: Outdoor Fireplace

Today, we’re excited to highlight the progress on one of our outdoor living projects in Charlotte’s Myers Park neighborhood. For this project, we’re designing and building an outdoor living space with an outdoor fireplace.

“For this Myers Park project, we’re designing and building a custom outdoor living space,” said Adam Ferrara with Beck Design Group. “The space will include a seating area with the focal point being the outdoor fireplace.”

Outdoor Fireplaces Popular Additions to Charlotte Outdoor Living Spaces

Rather than retreating indoors at the first sign of cool weather, homeowners are extending the livability of their outdoor living spaces. One of the most popular ways to do this is by adding an outdoor fireplace.

Installed for their ambiance as well as their warmth, these fireplaces transform backyards into comfortable outdoor living rooms. They also provide a place for families to gather, regardless of the weather.

“Outdoor fireplaces continue to gain popularity,” says Ferrara. “As the demand for outdoor living spaces has grown in recent years, the demand for outdoor fireplaces leads the trend. For many Charlotte homeowners, an outdoor fireplace is an essential element of any outdoor living space.”

Additional Benefits of Outdoor Fireplaces

In addition to the benefits mentioned above, here are a few of the other benefits an outdoor fireplace can provide:

• Good source of lighting for your outdoor living space.
• Provides a vertical focal point and anchors the backyard.
• Extends the livable space of your home.

Beck Design Group can help you design and create your own custom outdoor fireplace. To learn more, call Adam Ferrara at 803-746-7908 or email Adam. We look forward to discussing how you can enhance your outdoor living space and enjoy the wonderful fall season!

Fall Provides the Perfect Season for Charlotte Outdoor Living

Fall is right around the corner and we couldn’t be happier! At Beck Design Group, we love fall! Fall is the time when the weather becomes cooler, football season begins, the leaves change colors, and we celebrate Thanksgiving. Also, did we mention that football season starts?

While the summer months are perfect for entertaining outside, many Charlotte homeowners also like to take advantage of fall’s milder weather to host their guests outdoors. As a result, Beck Design Group usually sees a spike in interest for outdoor living spaces.

“Outdoor living areas are now considered a popular necessity for enjoying your home and entertaining guests,” said Adam Ferrara, owner of Beck Design Group. “Outdoor living spaces are also a great way to expand the overall livable square footage of your home.”

Outdoor Living Embraces Modern Styles

Today’s outdoor living spaces aren’t your average backyard spaces. These modern spaces incorporate fireplaces, installed grills, outdoor kitchens, integrated sound systems, televisions, and refrigerators. Thanks to the emergence of outdoor-specific appliances, these items that were once thought of as luxury items are now affordable. The notion of having a functioning outdoor kitchen is no longer unrealistic.

“Charlotte homeowners enjoy entertaining and want to create spaces that are inviting,” says Ferrara. “These outdoor kitchens provide the perfect place to gather and add convenience.”

Charlotte Bathroom Remodeling Trends Help Increase Home Values

The volatile real estate market in Charlotte means that many homeowners are staying in their homes for longer periods of time. According to a recent survey by the National Association of the Remodeling Industry, 87% of homeowners said they plan to stay in their homes one to twenty years longer than pre-downturn. As a result of this, many homeowners are turning to remodeling projects to update or repair their homes.

“We’ve seen a steady increase in Charlotte home remodeling projects,” says Adam Ferrara of Beck Design Group, a Greater Charlotte kitchen and bath remodeling company. “Homeowners are staying put so they want to make the necessary upgrades and updates in their homes.” 

One of the best ways to invest in your home is by remodeling your bathroom. Investing in a bathroom remodel has the ability to increase your home’s resale value and create a more personal space. 

“The truth is, according to most realtors, a bathroom renovation can help boost the resale value of your home and even possibly help it sell faster,” said Ferrara. 

Below are a few of Charlotte’s hottest trends in bathroom remodeling that can add to the overall value of your home.

Charlotte Bathroom Remodeling Trends

• More Spacious Showers – Homeowners are opening up the shower to give it a more luxurious feel. In smaller bathrooms, they are removing the tub to expand the shower.
• Dual-Flush Toilets – Homeowners and buyers are demanding green technology and energy-saving features. Duel-flush toilets are a hot new technology that uses more water to flush solids than to flush liquids.
• Automatic Lighting Dimmers – Leaving the light or the fan running increases your energy bill. These dimmers provide an automated solution that will turn the light and fan off after a certain period of time.
• More Storage Space – Homeowners and buyers are seeking more storage space. One way homeowners are creating this additional space is by moving away from two-bowl sinks in favor of one, leaving more counter space for storage. 

If you would like to learn more about the newest trends in Charlotte bathroom remodeling and how they can boost your home’s value, please call Adam Ferrara with Beck Design Group at 803-746-7908 or email Adam. We look forward to working with you and ensuring that you enjoy the time spent in your home, whether it’s one year or twenty!
