These private outdoor areas give homeowners in Coeur d’Alene a way to enjoy the beauty of the outdoors with style, comfort, and privacy. At Diamond Homes, we specialize in designing unique, personalized retreats that elevate everyday living.
Whether you're sipping coffee in the morning or relaxing under the stars, here’s how we create unforgettable elevated spaces.
Make the Most of the View
The view is everything when it comes to balcony or rooftop design, especially in a place as scenic as North Idaho.
Position your seating to face the most stunning angles—whether that’s mountain peaks, lakefront, or forest lines.
Choose railing materials like tempered glass to preserve visibility while maintaining safety and elegance.
Install low-profile lighting that won’t obstruct the view but still offers evening ambiance.
These elements help transform your outdoor space into a peaceful escape with a front-row seat to nature’s best.
Add Comfort That Matches the Indoors
Comfort is key to using your elevated space regularly, not just occasionally.
Use weather-resistant furniture that feels as cozy as your indoor living room, complete with cushions, pillows, and throws.
Install retractable shades or pergolas to provide protection from sun and light rain without blocking fresh air.
Consider radiant floor heating for year-round comfort, especially on rooftops exposed to colder temperatures.
Luxury home builders approach these spaces with the same level of detail as interior rooms, ensuring comfort without compromise.
Blend Nature and Design
One of the best parts of having an elevated outdoor area is how it connects your home to the natural world.
Use potted trees, herbs, and flower boxes to bring green life into the space while adding color and texture.
Choose planters and greenery that align with the architectural tone of your home—clean lines for modern homes, lush arrangements for rustic designs.
Install built-in planters to seamlessly blend landscaping into the deck or balcony structure.
Skilled home builders Coeur d'Alene ID carefully balance landscape and design to achieve a space that feels alive, private, and entirely custom.
Think Multi-Use and Personal
Your rooftop or balcony retreat should reflect your lifestyle, not just look good in photos.
Include a dining table for outdoor meals, game nights, or entertaining guests in style.
Add a reading nook or hammock corner for private relaxation.
Design space for a small fire pit, hot tub, or outdoor bar—whatever helps you unwind and recharge.
Every detail should serve a purpose and enhance the way you live, making your outdoor space an extension of your luxury home.
