TURNING YOUR OUTDOOR PATIO INTO A
LIVING EXPERIENCE

Story by Felicia Frazar
nside homes are living spaces designed with comfort in mind. Cushy chairs, decorative lamps, aesthetically pleasing decor are all brought together to give the homeowner and their guests a place to unwind and relax. Now, interior designers like Jeff Koehler, of Design Associates, and Amber Ehrlich, of Keepers Interiors, are seeing that inside look and feel make the move outdoors. “People are bringing the inside out,” Koehler said. “It is taking patios and decks, screened-in porches and making them feel like living spaces. They are not just meant for being outside in the sunshine or the shade. It is meant to feel like a room. It is creating a space that is just another place to go, another escape from the hubbub of life that is thrown at you.” 18 SEGUIN ~ GUADALUPE COUNTY LIVING
