Petruccelli L.T.D of North America asks; What are some of the must haves in a luxury home? (4)

Petruccelli L.T.D of North America says;  Outdoor Living - Mention outdoor living just years ago and most people would assume you were talking about camping. Pools and tennis courts are traditional luxury mainstays, but outdoor living is an entirely new concept, dramatically altering landscapes and turning the land surrounding the house into a kaleidoscope of gardens, terraces and patios for adults and children to play. Whimsical or formal, gardens expressing a theme or fulfilling a desire are luxury’s newest indulgences. Scent gardens attract butterflies, dragonflies and hummingbirds; meditation gardens are designed for yoga; and simple cottage gardens evoke childhood memories. Growing in popularity, according to the American Society for Landscape Architects, are kitchen gardens, even orchards. Outdoor rooms are also becoming an essential.
