If you are craving to have a home with outdoor living space, (whether a porch or an expansive garden); ensuring you get as much enjoyment out of it as possible is key. How to maximize your greenspace is calling upon experts for their favorite ways to ensure that your home’s exterior is just as regal as what’s inside. Patio season begins now. Need help making your al fresco dreams come true? Here are some ideas to soar with! Both classical and forever designs, your family will enjoy forever!
Container gardening is the perfect way to add some height and interest to your landscape with less commitment than ground planting. Climbing greenery adds style, too.
When creating an outdoor space that acts as an extension of your indoor living, a New Jersey landscape designer urges homeowners to consider what interior materials and design schemes can easily be translated outside. Here is one beautiful example!
The way you approach designing your outdoor spaces should be similar to your interior design planning. A big key to creating an outdoor living space is to note where people will be gathering, access points, and views that need to be enhanced or buffered. Once those elements are decided upon, and this includes layering-in everblooming perennials, trees with seasonal interest, low-voltage lighting, and planters into your plan, they will welcome guests and your family every time they step into the space.
Prioritize getting the grass right, not only for visual aesthetics but also for practical purposes. Getting this element right from the start will save time, money, and frustration down the road.
Start with what’s beneath your feet- as you would with the carpets in your home.
Proper lighting will make your garden glow. (please refer back to my former blog on my website:
www.judithsutton.com for more information and ideas for outdoor “moonglow” lighting).
I recommend delicately layered landscape lighting. “Landscape lighting can highlight architectural features of your home, add depth and dimension to your outdoor space, as well as provide a degree of safety and security.
The addition of furniture is a guaranteed way to bring comfort and elegance to your outdoor space. The furniture should be proportionate to the size of the space you are outfitting, comfortable for all those seated, and most of all, durable. Carefully consider the materials, how they will age and patina, and the seasonal maintenance associated with what you choose.
With all of this in mind, you will be on your way to making your outdoor setting as comfortable and as fashionable as your inside!
