How To Design Your Dream Master Patio
Your dream master patio should be a peaceful oasis away from daily stressors. A place to relax and collect your thoughts, meditate, and possibly invite a partner for an intimate evening away from work and family responsibilities.
If you are a family man or business person, odds are you don’t get a lot of time to yourself. In fact, if you do a quick inventory, you may find that you share a lot with others and hardly have anything that’s just yours. That is the beauty of a custom home with a master patio! Someplace just for you, that you’re not required to share.

YOUR FLOOR PLAN AND HOME DESIGN
Some of our clients in Edmond and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma like to include their master patio as a walk-out extension of a master suite wing. Your master wing may include a private hallway that features a powder room to be used as a secondary restroom, the master suite, a master bathroom, and a master closet.
Many of our clients like to have master closets that connect to their utility rooms for seamless laundry service. Your master bedroom can include a sitting area, an anteroom, linen storage in the hallway and master bathroom, and more.
Ask your home designer what luxury additions they might suggest for your master suite and master wing.
PROXIMITY TO HOT TUB AND POOL
Let your home designer know that you wish to include a master patio in your custom home floor plan and design. Once you and your home designer decide where the master wing will be, they can add the master patio in a way that makes sense with your floor plan.
Consider the distance between your master patio and pool, hot tub, and other outdoor living areas. Make sure you’re happy with the proximity and the amount of privacy you’ll have in your space. This all comes down to how you plan to use your private patio.
SCREENED-IN OR COVERED PATIO
Do you prefer a screen-in patio or just a covered patio? If you have dogs enjoying this space with you, you may prefer a covered patio with a fireplace and a ceiling fan. If you live in a climate where mosquitoes and horseflies are an issue, you might prefer a screen-in patio.
Let your home designer know if your dream master patio is screened-in or more of a four-season room. Depending on your preferences, your custom home builder may be able to install motorized solar shades or motorized outdoor patio shades like these from Beason Home.

LIGHTING AND AMBIENCE
Let your home designer know how you’d like to light your master patio space. You can opt for customizable LED like these round light fixtures from mod-lighting.com that include 3 colors and remote dimming or these remote control permanent LED lights from Lumary.
You can also include a custom fireplace or fire pit, a built-in beverage bar or retractable TV screen, and even fountains to add a relaxing water element to your dedicated patio space.

LUXURIOUS SECLUSION
Add plenty of space for landscaping opportunities to provide extra privacy around your master patio. Some species to consider include bamboo, boxwood hedges, small trees, or butterfly and lavender bushes, but you can use whatever thrives best in your region.
