Modern design ideas are making a splash in outdoor areas, taking outdoor living to a whole new level. Outdoor furniture and entertainment options are becoming more popular, and as they grow, they also get cheaper and have increasingly more possibilities. In the past, a changing cabana might have needed to be specially bought, but today you can order one from a range of merchants that will perfectly match your selected design theme. Your outdoor environment will begin to take shape when you carefully examine several essential elements, much like you would do when it comes to interior design.
Think of your backyard as a piece of art, with the swimming pool serving as the main focus. You should use the kinds of landscaping, decking, and color scheme palettes that will contribute to the atmosphere which you want to create to visually frame it. Every little thing, from fabrics and colors to materials and their placement, should work together to create the overall desired look.
Landscaping
Natural features such as greenery and blossoming plants may provide an incredible amount of texture at various heights and depths. Plants, of course, come in a wide variety and can be arranged in countless different ways. A unified and distinctive look can be started with themes like an Asian Zen Garden, an Old World Mediterranean, or a Modern Geometric Design.
With simple shapes and symmetry, the Asian Zen Garden would begin with concrete pavers and modest flowerbeds. With a courtyard-style design, the Old World Mediterranean theme offers a more unpretentious, low-maintenance charm. A checkerboard pattern of stepping stones with small grassy sections defining each stone’s shape could be part of the Modern Geometric Design.
Hardscaping
The phrase “hardscaping,” which is less frequently used than “landscaping,” describes the usage of inanimate objects. They can work in harmony with your landscape to produce a poolscape that is eye-catching, useful, and coherent with the appropriate design. Walls, walkways, stone edgers, and other features are examples of traditional hardscaping elements. Making the layout seem effortless and natural is the key. When combined with plants and structures, well-planned hardscaping can help you bring attention to specific locations you wish to serve as the yard’s visual focal points, providing depth, and improving both the space’s use and aesthetic appeal.
While DIY landscaping may be simple, it would usually be wise to employ a professional for the hardscaping projects. You’ll probably really appreciate the time and energy which you’ll save by hiring a pro, from their implementation of heavy equipment to transport all the needed stone to the necessary specialized tools required for cutting it.
Decking is a third fundamental component to consider while planning the backyard of your dreams. In our upcoming post, we’ll go into more detail about that.
