Outdoor rooms are a simple way to not only add interest to the landscape, but also to extend outdoor living time. The addition of a cabana can include change rooms, showers, a lounging area with a fireplace, an outdoor kitchen and even a bar or dining area. It can be a cozy room to safely watch thunderstorms at night over the prairie coulee or a covered retreat to house a toasty hot tub on a wintry evening. Pergolas are another way of extending rooms into the outdoors; although not completely covered, they can provide some shade and support for climbing vines, giving you use of vertical space for growing as well.
