Our backyards have evolved over time as outdoor living has grown in popularity. There is any number of ways you can design this valuable, entertaining real estate, and the options are limitless. It can become overwhelming quickly, so a few tips to consider as you begin your blueprint.
Expanding your home to incorporate an outdoor living space is a project well worth your time and energy. As you begin to envision the ultimate backyard environment for you and your family, determine if it will be a seamless extension of your home, or will it be a complete departure, from lets say, the formal décor of your interior? This is a significant first step and will aid in your decision process. Once that hurdle is cleared, take time to really consider how you want to utilize this space. Will it be a gathering spot for friends, family, and the whole neighborhood? Or would you prefer a more intimate oasis where you're likely to find respite from the noise of the day? Perhaps it's both. Whatever you envision helps to prioritize where you'll want to invest your budget. If it's likely to be the neighborhood watering hole, then a big pool and spa, outdoor kitchen and bar, and a large lounging area with ample seating is a must. For a quaint personal space, a small square pool, LED lighting, fireplace, and cozy couches and chaise may make more sense. Creating a surrounding that speaks to your needs and style means there are never any wrong choices.
While you can't make a mistake in outdoor design, some items are fantastic to incorporate. Regardless of size, having an intentional area dedicated to shade is outstanding. There are numerous options, such as a ramada, pergola, and palapa. All offer varying amounts of shade depending on your preference. If a pool is in your plan, determining its shape will enhance your vision. Incorporating natural bug-repelling trees, herbs, and plants, as well as a fire feature, are decorative details that add function as well as beauty.
Determining the primary function of your outdoor living addition helps in creating the perfect plan. How you want to live in your newly created surroundings is the foundation to a get design!
