Winter Along the Coast. Outdoor Living on the Horizon.

Winter settles differently along the New Jersey coast.The light is softer. The air is quieter. Snow rests gently on architectural lines, and outdoor spaces pause — not forgotten, simply waiting for what comes next.
This week, we shared images of a cathedral-style patio cover blanketed in snow and a pool stilled beneath a layer of ice. A reminder that even when temperatures climb into the low 40s — our version of a winter “heatwave” — the most beautiful outdoor spaces are already being imagined.
At Chamber Home Designs, this season is where outdoor living truly begins.
Thoughtfully Designed: Dual Patio Covers with Coastal Ease
One of the projects we’re currently featuring reflects a growing preference among homeowners who value both beauty and balance: a dual patio cover design.
Rather than a single covered space, the backyard unfolds in layers:
A covered outdoor kitchen, designed for protection, longevity, and effortless entertaining
A second covered area that invites relaxed dining, conversation, and time spent lingering outdoors
Each structure is crafted from heavy-duty, fully extruded aluminum and finished with baked-on enamel coatings that resist UV exposure and coastal weather. The result is a space that feels light and open, yet solid and enduring — perfectly suited for life near the water.
Screen Rooms: Coastal Comfort Without Compromise
For those who want the outdoors without distraction, a custom screen room offers a refined solution.
Designed to filter light and breezes while keeping insects and debris at bay, a screen room creates a calm, usable retreat — ideal for morning coffee, quiet afternoons, or evenings that stretch long after sunset.
It’s a space that feels connected to nature, yet comfortably removed from the unpredictability of the elements.
Why Winter Is the Season for Planning
The most successful outdoor spaces are never rushed.
Winter allows for:
Unhurried design conversations
Thoughtful planning and customization
Project timelines that align seamlessly with the arrival of spring
By the time warm weather returns, these spaces are ready — not imagined.
From Snow-Covered Views to Sunlit Evenings
Today, your backyard may feel still. Softened by snow. Quiet beneath winter skies.
Soon, it will host sun-warmed afternoons, shared meals, and coastal evenings where time slows and the outdoors feels like home.
At Chamber Home Designs, we create outdoor living spaces that are as welcoming as they are enduring — designed with intention, built with care, and meant to be enjoyed season after season.
A Refined Invitation
If you’re beginning to think about how you want to live outdoors this year, we invite you to start the conversation now.
Our design consultations are intentionally limited, allowing us to give each project the attention it deserves.
Thoughtful outdoor living begins long before spring arrives.
