Shaping Comfortable Outdoor Living Spaces
Investing in your patio and yard has become a hot trend. Bringing the feeling of indoors onto the back deck is the latest way to enjoy more time in the sun. Some key features of your interior can be easily brought outside to create that perfect, relaxing space.
Outdoor furniture isn’t the hard plastic it once was. Soft, cushioned couches, chairs and loungers are what you need to be cozy on the patio. Surround that furniture in home decor accents like candles, wall art and lamps. For heat control, ceiling fans can also be included in overhead features such as pergolas. Make the deck feel like the living room and enjoy the open sky above.
Leave the cracks and splinters of wood decks behind. With inspiration from your home, vinyl or composite deck boards are smooth and cool to walk across, more like a floor. Available in finishes and colors to match your home and furnishings, these products echo interior design in their look and feel.
Sound is an important element. Wind chimes are a great addition, adding a musical feel that is played with the breeze. The soothing notes will keep you in tune with nature. Others opt for a more modern feel and install outdoor stereo equipment. Keep it well covered and have the wiring done professionally to enjoy the sounds of dreadnought acoustic guitar or contemporary pop. A stereo system can deliver no matter what your tastes in music tend to be.
For the cook in your family, an outdoor kitchen is the perfect addition to the backyard. Install a built in BBQ along with a sink, fridge and side burner for a complete grilling area. Stainless steel, stone and tile will combine for a low maintenance, high performance kitchen that will become the center piece of every patio party.
Express your tastes and style with sculpture and art in the yard. Anything goes, but include more than the traditional garden gnome. For a historical feel, let stone Greek gods grace the patio. To be more current and edgy, a sculpted rider on his Harley with a black helmet and gleaming chrome will be the perfect addition. Your personality will dictate the displays.
It’s easy to extend your home through the patio door and into the yard with these decorating tips. Include the right furniture, a little sound, a grilling haven and an art collection and you will be well on your way to true backyard living.
