It’s now officially fall and with fall comes delightfully cooler temperatures and more reason to explore the outdoor living spaces of your Austin luxury real estate. With the scorching heat we experienced this summer, you may not have used your outdoor living space to its full capability. We are offering you some ideas of how to take advantage of the pleasant weather while utilizing your outdoor living area.
For the first time in awhile the Austin area is about to experience a break in the heat giving you the opportunity to enjoy your fall evenings by opening your large sliding glass doors. As the door panels disappear into the walls of your home, your indoor and outdoor living spaces merge into one expansive area. Since it’s no longer summer, your summer kitchen turns into a fall kitchen and lets you enjoy grilling out as you sip your choice wine or Oktoberfest while the sun sets behind the hills our beautiful Texas Hill Country. The refreshing evenings will allow those sliding glass doors to remain open as you lounge inside or out with the ones you love.
As summer ends and fall begins, be sure to utilize the evening daylight as much as you can because the fall-back-to Standard Time will be on November 6 at 2 a.m. With this change in time, the sun will go from setting around 7 p.m. to 6 p.m., cutting down the amount of natural light you will have while enjoying the outdoor living area of your custom homes in Austin. The sun going down early is not all bad though. Now as the evenings cool off quicker you will be able to spark up your outdoor fireplaces and enjoy your hot coffee, chocolate, or apple cider with your friends and family around the warm fire.
Though the summer fun might be through, don’t let that prevent you and your loved ones from enjoying the fall season to come in your Sterling Custom Home.
