Outdoor living has exploded in popularity over the past years, and it’s clear why. Creating an outdoor living lounge is a simple and clever way to enhance the elegance of your backyard, as well as the financial value of your home. And with the travel restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic, many travellers have come to realize just how relaxing and luxurious a “stay-cation” actually is!
There’s something special about enjoying the beautiful outdoors in the luxury of your backyard, and with the arrival of the fall season, there’s never been a better time to design (or redesign) your dream outdoor living space. The fall season brings about an unparalleled atmosphere, with the falling of the leaves and the cool autumn breezes. But if you’re hoping to design a space that’s as comforting and cozy as your living room, there are a couple of design tips you should know.
To help you design a backyard space that seamlessly matches the energy of one of the most beautiful seasons, we’ve prepared 7 of our favourite outdoor living design tips! These design ideas are meant to help you create a welcoming and cozy atmosphere, perfect for the fall season!
Start With The Best Outdoor Furniture
Creating the perfect outdoor living space largely begins with your choice of outdoor furniture! Of course, this doesn’t mean your other backyard amenities aren’t important. Your patio area or lounge space is simply one of those backyard features where you can just relax without really needing to do anything else like fire up a grill (outdoor kitchen) or hop into a bathing suit (hot tub).
Be Prepared To Weather Any Storm
When selecting your outdoor furniture set, patio equipment, or lounge gear, be sure to stay mindful of its durability. Look for all-weather material, but be aware of anything that’s overly bulky and wouldn’t be able to fit in a modern living room. Fortunately, there are many selections today that offer a perfect balance of functionality an style, so you’ll be sure to find something that perfectly suits your style.
Your Very Own Private Paradise
The addition of privacy walls has recently grown in popularity! From a functionality standpoint, privacy walls offer protection from any cool winds, debris, and other weather conditions. Most notably, privacy walls enable you to truly transform your outdoor living space into your own private backyard paradise. Say goodbye to worrying about the neighbours snooping in on your backyard entertaining and cozy up in true privacy and comfort!
Cozy Up With Outdoor Accessories
When you think of a warm and welcoming backyard, you might think about hanging fairy lights over a beautiful patio set covered in blankets and pillows. It’s alright if this wasn’t the first thing that came to mind, but if you’re looking to really establish a warm and relaxing backyard vibe, the addition of certain outdoor furniture accessories is an absolute must! These range from a variety of amenities, such as typical supplies you might find indoors to outdoor-specific appliances. Here are some of our favourites:
- Hanging Fairy Lights to illuminate any night
- Patio heaters to warm up the coolest of fall days
- Outdoor pillows and blankets to snuggle up in
- Fire Tables; the perfect centrepiece for every conversation
- Outdoor Kitchen to liven up the coziest of spaces with amazing food
- Outdoor projectors for late-night movies with the family
Comfort Seating Is A Must
While all of the other outdoor living elements are essential for creating the ultimate relaxation hub, if there was one element that was more important than the others (and we’re not saying there is of course!), it would have to be seating!
While outdoor blankets and pillows are a must, making sure your patio set is actually comfortable is far more important than you might think. Too many people prioritize the aesthetics of their outdoor furniture, only to finish designing their outdoor living spaces, sit down, and realize they’re not even comfortable! So do yourself a favour and make sure you really take the time to find the right outdoor seating!
