10 Ideas for Your Outdoor Living Space

With Spring quickly approaching, we enter a new season of home renovation. This season, let’s focus on creating your perfect backyard oasis to be enjoyed for generations to come. 

If you have already been brainstorming several options, but are struggling to make any final decisions, check out these ten ideas for your outdoor living space: 

1. A Vibrant Secret Garden 

Hang a bed-swing underneath a large shade tree with your custom Koi fish pond nearby. Set up this little get-away in the center of your secluded secret garden. 

2. A Whimsically Romantic Atmosphere 

Build a wooden deck with a large stone fire pit and high-end love seats. For an added feature, incorporate a chilled wine rack close by for convenience. 

3. An Exotic Paradise 

Design a beautiful waterfall surrounded by a variety of tropical plants and exotic trees. Create a wooden walkway throughout the backyard to admire the beautiful greenery. 

4. A Modern Chic Terrace for the Minimalist 

In addition to the symmetric furniture, sophisticating lighting, and crisp shrubs, design an entire wall with built-in seating. This setup is perfect for hosting outdoor parties. 

5. A Farmhouse Backyard for the Entire Family 

Set up a raised deck with a full bar and outdoor kitchen. Situate a long farmhouse table in the middle of the deck for large family gatherings. Add some farmhouse decor to make that modern country look pop. 

6. Rugged Look for the Log Cabin Lover 

Invest in your patio with a large wood-burning fireplace to create the feel of a log cabin. Set up a comfortable outdoor sectional, and an oak wood coffee table to give it that rugged look. 

7. A Lifelike Playhouse for Children 

If you have children and want to build them a tree house that doesn't muck up the yard, invest in a lifelike playhouse. Once they have outgrown the playhouse, it could be turned into a storage shed or a great place to put a little greenhouse. 

8. The Pool of Your Dreams 

Transform your backyard into the pool of your dreams. With a saltwater beach-entry, you can have sandy coated pavers that make it feel like your toes are really in the sand. Situate a shaded cabana and a couple of chaises to take relaxation to a new level. 

9. A Quaint Apartment Balcony 

If your home has minimal outdoor living space, there are plenty of designs to maximize the available square footage. Make the small area feel open with a wrap-around glass fence. By adding some hanging plants and a designer patio set for two, you will create a quaint French style seating area. You can also illuminate the patio with hanging overhead lights to make a sweet little haven of your own. 

10. Bring an Entire Living room Outside 

Enjoy the fresh air by putting an entire living room set outside. Set up a large couch, a love seat, and a couple of chairs underneath a covered lanai. Make sure to add end tables, lamps, and an accent rug to create the entire living room experience. Install an outdoor entertainment center for plenty of additional entertainment space, and there you have your outdoor living room.
