HGTV.com invites you to take the party outside with expert advice for preparing a patio, deck or outdoor room for guests: http://www.hgtv.com/outdoorentertaining.
Indulge in bold decorating ideas for the ultimate al fresco lifestyle with HGTV.com's luxurious designs for outdoor rooms:
-- Outdoor lighting - Forget typical ceiling fans and create different levels of lighting with gas sconces, chandeliers and table lamps.
-- Fireplaces and trellises - Outdoor fireplaces and heavy timber trellis structures turn an outdoor space into an outdoor room. These elements also make the area usable year-round.
-- Outdoor kitchens - As one of the most common big-ticket add-ons, outdoor kitchens are now built with a variety of features, like side burners, warming drawers, refrigerators, beer taps and beverage centers designed for entertaining.
-- Pots and planters - Pots can set the room's theme and can make or break a good design. Use only high-quality, frost-proof terra cotta from a reputable company.
-- Entertainment - Surround-sound, rock-like speakers throughout the garden create a great social space. Always use multiple speakers so that sound volume can be kept lower and more ambient, and guests can hear each other speak.
