# How to design an outdoor space?

## Create and arrange an outdoor area on your plan

**Outdoor capture is not available on Visuary**, but you can easily draw it directly on your plan.

1\. Create a new room outside your house using separators, railings, or walls, depending on your layout needs (all available in the *Walls* menu).

Make sure to connect the boundaries of your space to the exterior walls of your home so it is correctly recognized as a new room.

2\. [Rename the space](https://faq.visuary.com/en/en/change-room-label?hsLang=en) as "Terrace," "Balcony," "Garden," or any other suitable name.

3\.[Add the appropriate covering](https://faq.visuary.com/en/en/coverings?hsLang=en) from the *Coverings* menu: tiles, grass, concrete...

4\. Furnish your outdoor area by [adding any essential elements](https://faq.visuary.com/en/en/add-move-delete-items?hsLang=en) such as exterior lighting, a pergola, furniture, or vegetation.

### Add a covering to the exterior walls of the house

To add covering to the exterior walls of the house, first make sure to create an outdoor space with a railing or a divider by following the steps above.  
You can then add the wall covering of your choice by clicking on the **“Coverings”** tab and then on **“Walls.”**

**Good to know:** all exterior wall coverings are located at the bottom of the selection list.
