What happens here
The advice to 'think of each space as a 'room'' is presented alongside a shot of a stylish outdoor fire pit area, creating a distinct lounging zone separate from other parts of the yard. This concept encourages designers to define specific areas within the outdoor environment, much like rooms indoors, each with its own purpose, boundaries, and decor. This can be achieved through changes in flooring material (e.g., deck to patio), strategic placement of plants, pergolas, or even outdoor rugs.
Goal: Create distinct, purposeful zones within the outdoor living area
