Outdoor Outlets
We use so much technology and electrical devices within our homes that it’s good to have as many sockets and outlets as possible. In modern homes, that can also extend to your outside space. It is possible to install outdoor outlets which are protected from the elements and entirely safe to use, and which will allow you to use your media devices, laptop, phone charger, or anything else in the yard. You can even use these outlets to install yard lighting or plug in an electric lawnmower.
Mud Room
A mudroom is a great idea if you find that your kids and pets tend to track mud through the house when they get home. A mudroom is an additional room that everyone can enter by and leave their shoes in. You can even have a hose right by the door so that muddy boots can be cleaned as much as possible before going inside, or you could have a sink in the room with a hand-held water sprayer faucet. You can get creative to maximize on the space and look online for some handy ideas.
