We've all heard of curb appeal, but since we've all been spending a bit more time at home, let's talk about backyard appeal. You can turn any outdoor space into a Pinterest-worthy oasis by adding three simple elements: a base, seating group, and ambiance.
The Base
First, let's talk about the base. If you already have a patio or deck area, you may want to add an outdoor rug. Jute is an excellent option because it is durable and holds up outdoors. If you're looking to create a new space, you can use pea gravel or concrete pavers, which don't require much construction. Make sure the area is level before placing these surfaces.
The Seating Group
Next, you'll need to decide on the type of seating group. If your area is large enough, you can have multiple seating groups in one space or scattered throughout your yard. Think dining space, lounge space, fire space, game space and/or sunning space. Even in our smaller yard, we have room for each of these groups.
The Ambiance
The last step is to create the ambiance by adding pretty details: accessories, lighting, pillows, and potted plants. I like functional accessories like citronella candles, games, outdoor throws, and potted herbs. Remember, don't go overboard with too many items. You want the space to feel relaxing and be simple to clean up at the end of the day.
