What You Need to Know About California Rooms

Spending time in nature is beneficial for your overall well-being. It can reduce stress, boost mood, improve sleep quality and aid vitamin D production. With a California room, you don’t have to leave the house to enjoy the outdoors. Read on to learn more about this addition and why you need it in your home. 

What Is a California Room?

Originating in the sunny expanse of the Golden State, California room is an outdoor living space that exudes warmth and comfort. Unlike other indoor spaces, it opens up to your yard or garden. It has at least one open wall to bring fresh air and natural light. This addition will allow you to enjoy an expansive living space that seamlessly blends with the outdoors. It’s the ideal place for relaxation, entertainment and close-to-nature experiences. 

How Is It Different From a Sunroom?

A sunroom is enclosed with glass walls, while a California room has open or screened walls. The latter’s design establishes a stronger connection to nature. While a sunroom’s glass walls offer a view, the open-air concept of a California room invites the outdoors in, making it a unique architectural feature. 

Why Should You Build One?

Aside from letting you bask in the sun and enjoy the cool breeze, a California room can bring your loved ones together. You can make it cozier with stylish and comfortable outdoor furnishings. Think about adding a fireplace, TV, chairs, tables or sofa. If you have enough space, you can build an outdoor kitchen or bar for improved functionality.
