Creating Your Outdoor Deck and Patio Spaces

Creating your outdoor space is a vital part of making your house feel like a home. It’s an extension of your indoor living space and, for many, an optimal sanctuary spot where you can unwind from your day and enjoy the breathtaking views of the Hideout Canyon area.

Whether you decide to utilize your space for entertainment or designate it just for you, you’ll need some essential basics that will be fundamental to its function and great stepping blocks to help you build upon it.

Here is how to get started:

Functional Furniture

Having stylish furniture is a given and staple to your outdoor space. Still, you’ll want to make sure that your furniture is durable for all types of weather conditions and use regardless of deck and patio coverage. Finding something that fits your style and function is key, especially as your furniture is likely to be the focal piece of your space.

Lighting

With your patio and deck spaces, you’ll get plenty of natural lighting during the day. And we know just much that is vital to our health. But when it comes to decorating, the real fun comes at night! Experiment and have fun with your endless light options. From lanterns and candles to string lights, adding an element of light is purposeful but also adds character and style.

Plants

We shared the benefits and power of having plants in your home. The same logic translates to plants in your outdoor space! Create an outdoor oasis with plants, elevate your space with color and life, and bring tranquility and serenity through its excellent health benefits. Plus, plants can help create a sense of solitude and intimacy and provide a makeshift wall from the outside world.

Personalize

Give your space the personality it deserves and add stylish layers of character in the form of rugs, throw pillows, and décor. Not only will this have your outdoor space be a true extension of your indoor space, but you’ll get to add color and texture to maximize your personality. And don’t be afraid to get creative with it – add vertical shelving, put up artwork on the walls, or even have an outdoor table that doubles as a fireplace.
