Lavish Lawn Design
A lot of people look out the back door or window and probably think that their backyard is such an untapped space. If this sounds like you, then it is time to do something about it. The backyard should be a retreat, a place to relax and escape the hustle and bustle of your life. In order to do this you may need to consider overhauling your outdoor space and it’s décor. If this sounds like you, then use these easy tips to realise the untapped potential of your outdoor area.
Light the way
The backyard should be a space you celebrate and one that you want to spend time in. But in order to do this you first need to find your way. Installing garden lights is a great way to add to your outdoor décor, while also taking that space and turning it into an all day oasis. Not only will it make a unique design style come to life, it will also ensure entertaining at night is possible. Garden lights come in all designs, shapes and sizes. Do your research and find the right style for your outdoor areas. Additionally you can even get solar powered lights so you don’t chew into that energy consumption while you transform that outdoor space.
Furnish for the seasons
Outdoor furniture is not all the same, despite what some people may believe. Outdoor furniture has come a long way since the glass and metal frame table or uncomfortable fabric couches. Most designer furniture stores now offer a range of outdoor and waterproof options so that they can weather any season. You can even take design features from indoors and replicate the outdoors to carry your style throughout the entire property. Look for colours and designs which will show off your own personal style. For example a bamboo lounge set or a couple swing could really help transform that space and the best part is they will withstand even the harshest conditions.
Fire it up
If you live in a particularly cold environment you may think your outdoor area is useless for a season or more every year. But that doesn’t have to be the case. Untap the potential of your outdoor space by considering a fire pit. A landscaped and designed fire pit can really transform your outdoor space. Add some bench seating around it and you have the perfect place to entertain, enjoy a few drinks or tell stories with the kids. Fire pits come in many different sizes to suit even the smallest spaces and they are mobile so you can store it away in the hotter months if need be.
Planters
If you look out the back window and you are presented with a blank green canvas of grass, don’t be discouraged by the sheer size. Instead envisage your options, like installing planter boxes in sections or around the perimeter. Planter boxes are a fantastic way to add to the outdoor décor of your space. Not only do they change the look and feel of your outdoor area, but you can plant options that give back. For example, plant vegetables or fruit and very quickly you won’t have just transformed the outdoor décor, but you’ll be reaping what you sew, literally. Planter boxes are easy to purchase, or for the full service you could even consider building them yourself.
Transforming your outdoor area so you can see that potential fulfilled can seem daunting but it doesn’t have to be. Instead of looking at the difficulty, look at the rewards. Changing the décor of your outdoor area can provide you with a whole new area to enjoy. If you want to untap the potential of your outdoor area, then consider these easy tips.
