Sunny Southern California is undeniably one of the most sought after places to live in America. Beach culture, amusement parks, and Hollywood bring in swarms of tourists from all across the globe every year, but if you live here, you know that the weather is Southern California’s finest asset.

When the sun is shining, you want to be outside with your friends and family as much as possible, so what better to way to add onto your home than with a cabana in your own backyard? These three-walled rooms are like small houses you can fill with the amenities that best suit your lifestyle. Some people turn their cabanas into the ultimate family barbecue area, decking out their addition with stainless steel grills, a full kitchen, and a common area for friends and family to come feast in the shade. Others transform their cabana into a stylish lounge, complete with a full bar, entertainment center, sound system, and dance floor. Your vision of tropical luxury can be brought into reality and entertaining guests can be a whole new experience with a fashionable new home addition.

Guesthouses and pool houses are examples of two more innovative ideas that can drastically improve the functionality of your backyard. They can serve a luxurious haven from the sun and a perfect place to sit and chat, have a meal, or have out-of-town guests spend the night. With all additions, the best part is that they are completely customized to your tastes and desires, giving you a perfect spot in the shade to do whatever you love to do.
