There’s something truly special about outdoor living spaces and the joy they are able to bring to any, and every, backyard gathering. In fact, whether you’re rounding up the entire family or simply enjoying some peace and quiet by yourself, a well-designed outdoor living space never fails to provide the comfort and security we all seek — regardless of our unique backyard needs.
The best thing about creating your dream outdoor living space is that it’s easy to get started. Not to mention there are countless underlying benefits that accompany upgrading your backyard space, such as increasing the value of your home!
Nonetheless, we understand how the early planning and design stages can be difficult when getting started with your outdoor living space design. So whether you’re looking to redesign your grungy backyard or planning to upgrade an existing space, we’ve got you covered with 7 of the best design ideas to help you step up your outdoor living game!
1) Outdoor Kitchen
Outdoor kitchens are not only one of our favourite ways to elevate a backyard’s sense of luxury, but one of our top recommendations for homeowners looking to increase the overall value of their home. This increase stems heavily from the improved functionality and luxury that outdoor kitchen amenities create. For instance, the addition of a state-of-the-art grilling area or outdoor storage space often proves pivotal in the final valuation of a house, because of the quality appliances as well as the added value it brings to the backyard.
If you’re curious about how an outdoor kitchen can help boost the valuation of your home, our outdoor design consultants are always on stand-by to help you realize your greatest backyard living fantasies!
2) Keep It Cozy
Makes things comfy with the addition of a quality patio set (all-weather furniture set). Outdoor furniture and accessories, such as chairs, pillows and blankets, don’t only work to create a more cozy and warm backyard atmosphere but are absolute must-haves for anyone looking to snuggle up and just relax in their outdoor living space!

3) Create Backyard Privacy
There are a variety of luxurious and beautiful ways to add privacy to your outdoor living space. Some of our favourites include large evergreens or hedges, pergolas coverings, and privacy walls. Not only will you notice less noise pollution but you’ll likely notice a newfound sense of freedom in your outdoor living space!
4) Step It Up, Literally!
While patio decks surely are a beautiful way to take your outdoor living space to the next level, the subtle addition of 3-4 wide steps from the yard to your deck can truly make all the difference! This adds another dimension to your backyard space, ultimately stepping up your outdoor living space — pun intended.
5) Keep Things Toasty
When the sun goes down, there are a couple of outdoor must-haves that are essential to your backyard space. Whether it’s a fire pit, natural gas fire table, patio heater, or natural gas tiki torches, the implementation of supplemental sources of light and heat won’t only help keep you and your guests warm, but allow you to continue your late-night conversations deep into the night!
