Opening your primary living space to the outdoors does more than just add natural light and fresh air to your home; it adds square footage from the outdoors and completely transforms your interior spaces, breathing new life into them.
Indoor-outdoor living isn’t reserved for a certain style of home or lifestyle. From traditional to modern, any home can incorporate moving glass walls into their living areas to completely transform their space and the way they live in it.
Expanding the view
Floor-to-ceiling moving glass walls and clean, modern styling will make your remodeled living room feel spacious and airy. Maximizing the views with horizontal expanses of glass helps the room feel larger, taller, and more open, while making the outdoor living area more connected and accessible.
A lighter take on traditional
Living rooms with dark-toned, traditional furnishings can still appear bright and fresh with an entire wall of multi-slide doors letting in the sunshine. A multi-slide door with a light finish blends with the wall color, and thin dividers allow for expansive sightlines, taking full advantage of the view. The division between the indoor living area and the patio virtually disappears, whether the door is opened or closed.
A dramatic transition
This open-concept living room remodel incorporated a wall of bifold doors with divided lights opening into the backyard patio dining area and outdoor kitchen. The bold doors create a dramatic, updated look in any home that blends modern and old-world styles. When the moving glass wall is fully opened, the panels stack up accordion-style, allowing for a grand opening that merges the two spaces for one grand indoor-outdoor entertaining space.
A massive modern great room
One massive multi-slide door allows a modern, open-concept great room to fully open up to a corresponding outdoor space, creating an immersive indoor-outdoor experience for cooking, dining, and lounging. The multi-slide’s contemporary look blends with the home’s style and allows for a maximum amount of glass, making the large room incredibly light and bright and offering great views from every angle.
Mid-century serenity
The renovation of this mid-century home embraced the aesthetic of aluminum for a genuinely modern feel. The multi-slide door encompasses an entire wall of the living room, allowing a full opening to the lush and shady yard. The retractable glass wall allows the minimalist style of the interior and exterior to come together, while the addition of curtains helps soften the look and filter light for a truly tranquil indoor-outdoor environment.
Clean lines and a clear view
When a room has a stunning view, clean lines and large apertures allow it to become the centerpiece of the room. A sleek bifold door folds out of the way to make the exterior balcony part of the main living space – and the view the most striking feature of the room.
A cozy indoor-outdoor gathering place
An open-concept living area uses a pocketing multi-slide door to open even further, turning the outdoor patio into an al fresco dining room that’s integrated into the main floor plan. The opening from patio to living room corresponds to the opening between the kitchen and living room, creating a unified appearance. The seamless indoor-outdoor transition invites guests to gather in either location while highlighting the natural environment.
