Creating the Outdoor Paradise You’ve Always Dreamed About

Embrace the space you have.

Whether you have a front yard, back yard or balcony, design your space in a way that is inviting and makes others feel welcome to enjoy the space. Creating an inviting space can be done in a number of different ways, such as designing a central sitting area with sofas, chairs and a centerpiece table. This set up is a conducive layout to facilitate conversations and group gatherings. Remember, it’s not about the size of the space, but the utilization of design in order to make it the most effective for your needs. 

Choose a color palette and style that compliments the space.

When designing an outdoor space, charm and comfort are two important components. Your outdoor space is an extension of your home, so consider choosing similar color palettes and design styles to match that aesthetic. Avoid all matching sets. By playing with metals, wood and all weather wicker, textural elements intermingle and make for an interesting mix. Consider cushioned furniture to create a comfortable area for all to enjoy. 

Picking the plants 

Plants are a wonderful element to your outdoor space. It’s amazing how much life a few potted plants can bring to your patio. For those with balconies, flowers, plants and even baby trees can bring an element of nature, the colors accessorizing your outdoor area. If you have a yard, consider investing in a landscaper that can help you pick trees, flowers and bushes that best thrive in your environment. Our personal favorite is the annual azalea, a beautiful pink flowering shrub.
