According to Barclay Butera, an interior designer who spoke this week at the Luxury Conclave at the St. Regis Resort, Monarch Beach, CA, indoor-outdoor living is a trend of which he is a great fan.
We've seen this trend in Florida in upper end homes - there is a roofed outdoor room, usually large, perhaps 20 x 20 feet, often with a fireplace, that is furnished with pieces and fabrics that look like an inside living room but are treated to withstand the outdoors. This is really inviting and comfortable, and is a wonderful lifestyle addition for enjoying the outdoors while feeling the comfort of indoors.
Hi, Karen,
No, they're not the same. A Florida room is glassed in, usually on 3 sides, but sometimes on 2. The new room may have a wall on one side, but you are actually outside, though under a roof. Generally it's part of a huge screen enclosure.
