Ideas For Creating A Beautiful Outdoor Living Space
by Terri Holmes
If you have a nice backyard, it becomes the perfect spot for relaxing outdoor living when you landscape it to suit your needs. Outdoor living space is ideal for entertaining guests, and it can add a lot of space for parties and family fun. You can keep people outdoors and spare your house from being crowded and cluttered. Even if you never entertain, a beautifully landscaped yard is a relaxing place to unwind or enjoy from your windows. Here are some landscaping ideas to enhance your outdoor living space.
Decorative Concrete Patio
Your outdoor space starts with an attractive patio. You can make bare concrete more appealing by having designs stamped into the surface. You could even stain it with acid or dye it a vibrant color. You can easily convert your old patio to a thing of beauty by having an overlay applied that changes the surface color and texture. However, if you're starting from scratch, you may want a stamped concrete design installed that makes your patio look like it's made from much more expensive stone.
Winding Walkways
Walkways break up the solid green of your lawn and provide interesting texture and borders for flowers and plants. You can use a number of materials to create a winding walkway, but river rock is a good choice since it is smooth and easy on the feet. You could also install a stamped concrete walkway or one made of pavers if you want to eliminate tripping hazards from stones or rocks. A walkway can meander around your property so you can walk among flowers or your vegetable garden.
Outdoor Furnishings
Patio furniture has come a long way from aluminum chairs with webbing. The furniture is attractive enough to rival the beauty of indoor furniture. You'll probably want lounges for relaxing as well as a dining set for outdoor meals. Consider how many guests you'll entertain regularly and buy enough furniture or have seats built into retaining walls to accommodate everyone. With the proper outdoor setup, you can cook meals outside, dine, and relax by a nice fire. If you have a scenic view beyond your property or if your land is graced with mature trees, bright flowers, and healthy plants, then your outdoor time will be even more enjoyable.
To create the ultimate living space outdoors, you'll need to start with a good plan and that could involve the help of a landscape designer. In addition to that, you'll need an expert in plant selection and care so your plants can thrive with minimal care and you'll have beautiful scenery during all seasons of the year.
