OUTDOOR LIVING SPACES
Regardless of whether you have an older home, or a
newer home, outdoor spaces Are natural extensions of
your home that deserve a style of their own. If you
live in warmer climates, the outdoor space
definitely is part of the home, and Is used 360 days
of the year. If you are fortunate enough to really
make use of this space, creating a seamless flow
from the interior to the outside is the goal.
With all the beautiful outdoor furniture on the
market now, spaces can be transformed with some
simple planning.
First...determine how the space will primarily be
used and select seating based on your personal style
and needs. Do you like traditional and tailored, or
do you prefer casual wicker with a tropical feel?
Many options are available to you, once you have
determined your style. Think about what your ideal
setting would be...multiuse for relaxing,
entertaining, and dining, or just simply a great
place for lounging..
Second...determine flooring needs. There are
beautiful pavers available, and outdoor area rugs,
that will ground the furniture and soften the space.
Third…don’t forget lighting…Place garden torches of
various heights, add a chandelier Over the dining
table, and add outdoor table lamps to tables in your
sitting area.
Finish with flowers… adorn tables with your
favorites, and make sure you water often!
