Don’t you want to step outside for a deep breath of fresh air whenever you’re feeling down or stressed? Don’t you just want to sit down under the shade of a louvered pergola, sip a home-brewed cup of coffee, and enjoy the outdoors? The outdoor space in our homes is more than just a place for our pot of hydrangeas or monsterra. It’s about a space where we can relax and indulge in some “me” time or family time outside the confines of four walls.
To revamp your outdoor space and make it cozy and inviting, here are a few tricks from our book:
- Add beautiful shading. You won’t have to spend much on this cozy add-on to your outdoor area. All you have to do is choose a retractable louvered pergola from our curated pieces, and you’re all set. This is an excellent way to highlight a space and make it look like an extension of your living room or dining room.
- Install lighting. Ambient lighting and mood lighting hanging over your patio will certainly liven up the space and make it look like a 5-star hotel lounge. You can also add lamp sconces or a few pendant lights off your porch to give the effect of a starry night. For your tropical garden, add solar lights around your plants and outdoor décor. These require very little maintenance and cost next to nothing, but they add tons of value and beauty to your space.
- Put up a fire pit. Every outdoor living space should always have room for s’mores during lazy summer nights or just a toasty warm hangout place during the autumn months. A fire pit is a perfect addition to your backyard garden, and it instantly makes your home feel and look luxurious.
- Place alternative seating. When it comes to outdoor spaces, you can’t have too many couches or plush pillows to welcome guests into a cozy seating space. A patio louvered roof or a waterproof pergola wraps up this neat little living area into an entertainment area for garden parties or a Saturday barbecue party. Have guests enjoy cocktails and appetizers under the shade of a retractable louvered roof, and your party will surely be a hit.
- Add creative décor items. Things like floor-length lamps, cozy outdoor rugs, thick fleece blankets, wicker baskets, potted plants and pots, and even a hammock will add tons of value to your space. It’s a cute and simple way to freshen up your indoor-outdoor living lifestyle without breaking the bank. You should also consider adding a patio walkway or flagstone patio to your garden. This ties up neatly with your roof pergola and makes your space feel like you’re in the Maldives or Fiji.
When it comes to freshening up the look of your outdoor space, you have to be smart about the things you’ll invest in. Think long-term, and of the real estate value such things add to your home. To know more about enhancing your outdoor area, give Outside Wholesale a call today.
