6 Ways an Apollo Patio will Transform Your Home Lifestyle

Australians love outdoor living and while it’s true they are completely happy with fold-up tables and camp chairs somewhere off the beaten track – the real sweet spot for most Australians is entertaining and enjoying their own backyard (quite literally).

Whether that be lazy morning brunches with the fur babies, barbeques around the pool or hosting special birthdays and events with friends and family. We spend alot of our time in our home and we believe it’s important to love where you live. We’ve outlined 6 ways that an Apollo Patio will transform your home lifestyle.

1. Relaxation and Recreation

Having a patio provides a dedicated space where you can unwind and recharge, as well as indulge in some leisure activities. It serves as an ideal spot for your morning yoga session or to enjoy our coffee while catching up on the news. Later in the day, you can wind down with a herbal tea and your favorite book, gradually easing into relaxation mode.

2. Outdoor Entertaining

Dinging al fresco on your patio never gets old and protection overhead means you can use your patio year-round. Whether it’s a relaxed weekday dinner or a festive celebration, eating outside is an easy way to enhance your mealtime enjoyment. A strategically positioned servery window can streamline to the kitchen, while the patio itself can serve as a second kitchen and ideal spot for tending to the barbecue.

3. Family Time

A sheltered patio provides an extended living space to your home, making it feel more spacious. This additional area serves as a convenient gathering spot for spending quality time with family, loved ones as well as a safe zone for pets. Whether you are playing games, or simply bonding over shared experiences, the warm buzz and sense of belonging is perfectly matched with fresh air and enough room to spread out, while the sights and sounds of your surroundings make for a beautiful natural backdrop.

4. Health and Well-being

Research shows that spending time outdoors, increasing your Vitamin D intake has been linked to positive effects on mental health including reduced stress levels, improved mood and clarity, contributing to better overall health and well-being. Exposure to natural light, particularly in the morning, helps regulate the body’s internal clock and promotes better sleep quality at night. Use your patio to escape from indoors and recharge your mind and body.

5. Embracing Hobbies

A patio is the perfect place to embrace your hobbies when you need a change of scenery. Whether it’s stargazing, tending to your herb garden or pot plants, up-cycling some old furniture or watching the footy, the options really are endless. Enclosing your patio may make traditional ‘inside’ hobbies an option for you.

6. Increased Property Value

Adding an outdoor living area (or even carport) can enhance the appeal of your property. A carefully considered design will make your property more practical for you now, but also attract a wider range of potential buyers in the future, should you decide to sell your home. A big focus of properties is energy efficiency. A patio can contribute to improved energy efficiency by providing shade during hot months, reducing the need to for cooling indoors.

Us Aussies adore taking our lifestyle to the next level with a backyard purpose-built for our fantastic Australian climate. These are just 6 ways that a patio will elevate your home life and of course, the list goes on. With the right planning, your home can become the ideal setting for you and your family.

A lifestyle is personal, and that’s why we encourage you to make time with your partner or significant other to think about what you’d like to add to your lifestyle and how a patio would add value to your current situation. We hope you are inspired and look forward to helping make your home a safe, enjoyable and healthy place where you can love the way you live.
