Backyard Retreats
Backyard retreats have quickly become popular and for good reason: they offer the ideal way to unwind at home while simultaneously creating space for social interaction among friends or simply alone time with yourself. Setting up your backyard retreat needn’t be complicated either – here are some great ideas to help turn it into the backyard escape of your dreams!
At the outset of crafting your backyard retreat, you should establish its goal and vision. This will provide a foundation and guide all subsequent decisions. If you want a socializing area with comfy patio furniture and a fire pit for social gatherings, including firepit and seating can help make that happen; while for reading nooks you might opt for chaise lounges or even hanging chairs as centerpieces of comfort.
Always keep in mind that your backyard retreat should reflect who you are and what brings you happiness. Don’t be intimidated to try something out-of-the-box and pick a design, theme, color scheme or idea that may not be typical of your neighborhood or region of the country.
When selecting outdoor furniture for your backyard retreat, comfort should come before style. Furthermore, durability must also be a top consideration – modern outdoor furniture has come a long way over recent years and offers many durable yet comfortable solutions.
String lights are another effective way to bring life and visual appeal into your backyard retreat, and are easily installed for night-time enjoyment of this peaceful space. Affordable yet impactful additions that add drama, string lights can help to illuminate and bring to life any area – especially your retreat!
Outdoor Living Spaces
Outdoor living spaces have long been associated with larger yards; however, recent trends in backyard renovations focus on creating restful resort-like retreat spaces that fit seamlessly into any interior style. Here, families and friends can come together for quality time spent together away from everyday rigors.
While your dream outdoor space’s functional needs will likely dictate which seating style is necessary, adding lighting, pillows and decor, water features, plants and greenery, bar carts, game tables or even sound systems to enhance its atmosphere will only make your dream even better. Finding furniture that makes you want to curl up with a good book, play bocce ball with friends or host family dinners under the grill can help create the ideal setting.
No matter the purpose of your seating decision – be it book club meeting or sipping morning coffee – combining comfort with style should always be your goal. Consider upholstered outdoor sofas and sectionals featuring plush cushions in neutral tones for optimal seating comfort, paired with accent chairs made of wood or wicker and lounge-style hammocks to complete the ensemble. Considering both how many guests will use the space as well as anticipated time spent there when making this decision is also key to selecting an optimal space.
Lighting is essential in any outdoor space, extending its use after dark. From porch lights illuminating entryways to overhead lighting for lounge areas and dining spaces – Edison-type bulbs hanging from chains or wall sconces mounted directly to walls will work just fine, or chandeliers and candlelit lanterns may provide more formal illumination options.
Plants and greenery add an eye-catching aesthetic to any exterior space, while acting as natural sound barriers that help muffle street noise or neighborly chatter. Depending on how much sun your yard receives and your own personal aesthetic preferences, plants such as lush tropical shrubbery or low maintenance perennial flowers and grasses might work better suited for you.
