Most people don’t think of Oklahoma as an outdoor entertaining hub for the holidays. They haven’t visited Sarah McGill’s home. An Infratech heating system enabled Sarah and her family to enjoy their outdoor living space all year round, welcoming family and friends for game days, holidays and hangouts. The heaters’ flush mount installation enables them to blend seamlessly into the ceiling treatment, for a contemporary look that complements Sarah’s cozy seasonal style.

DIYer Nicole has been sharing her home remodel story — and it’s exciting to see it come along, room by room. This holiday season, she’s transformed her outdoor entertaining space into an all-seasons haven where she can host guests or simply enjoy a morning cup of coffee in comfort. To complete the project, she selected three CD-Series heaters with Motif Mediterranean decorative fascias and a Universal Control Panel, for hands-free convenience in any season.

Interior designer Rebecca Johnston has been serving the Los Angeles area since 2007. Her firm, RJohnston Interiors, draws inspiration from classical design elements and integrates them into modern spaces. The Mediterranean Los Angeles patio (photo above) is a prime example of this approach: it’s an eclectic, luxurious space fit for enjoyment in any season. Since her firm is located in Southern California, a big part of Johnston’s business is designing for outdoor living. Read on to get her thoughts on essential accents for outdoor spaces and how infrared patio heaters seem to keep homeowners more comfortable outdoors than traditional models.

Outdoor design trends for spring 2018 are all about incorporating affordable luxury into your own backyard. Get ready for the outdoor living season by turning your patio into a peaceful, lush oasis through low-maintenance water fixtures, a color refresh, and vintage materials. Create your own peaceful sanctuary by building a shaded pergola or a sun-kissed open air living room.

  Falling leaves, cozy bonfires, and abundant harvests: rustic style just makes sense in the autumn. This season, play up woodsy, natural design elements to create a fall look for your home or cabin that accentuates the beauty of fall and also accommodates cooler temperatures. We’re sharing some of our favorite outdoor accessories that will help you bring charming bucolic atmosphere to your outdoor rooms — whether you live in the big city or live surrounded by the forest’s changing hues.

It may be hard to believe, thanks to the current August heat, but autumn is just around the corner. The seasonal change means cooler nights, stronger winds, and for many of us, a close to the outdoor living season. Fortunately, our heaters can help your family extend that summer warmth so you can enjoy the changing leaves and crisp air a little bit longer. They’re eco-friendly, operate for just pennies a day, and offer customizable climate zones and heat that doesn’t blow away when the wind picks up.
