The Outdoor Room was an Australian lifestyle television program hosted by Jamie Durie on the Seven Network in 2008 with repeats broadcast on 7Two. The Outdoor Room is a backyard improvement show that saw Durie design a new backyard for a worthy family, similar to his previous show Backyard Blitz. He was seen travelling to various countries around the world to seek inspiration and gain new ideas before coming home to start work on the design with his team. Along with reuniting with former Backyard Blitz horticulturist Jody Rigby, each week Durie was also joined by a prominent Australian chef who serves up a dish from each episode's country of inspiration.

It did not return for a second season due to budgetary constraints to produce each episode^[1] but an American version of the show was produced.^[2] HGTV picked up the series with Jamie Durie, produced by Scout Productions, Emmy Award-winning producers of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. Running for four seasons and 52 episodes, the series was produced by showrunner Michael Hauser.
