The warmer months of the year are here which means heading outside is a given as we begin entertain more. Whether you’re spending afternoons in the pool or evenings by a fire pit, outdoor activities are infinitely more fun when you have easy access to the indoors, especially the kitchen and the bathroom. Perhaps you’re cooking and just want to enjoy fresh air or be closer to your family and friends when they’re over and you’re stuck in the kitchen. Whatever the reason, having an indoor/outdoor space that gives you the best of both worlds is a delicious luxury that is bound to enhance your life. Take a look at these 10 modern homes that perfectly flow between the inside and out.
