Now that spring is here, you probably want to
spend as much time outdoors as possible. Outdoor living spaces that fit your
interests and lifestyle can be a great way to enjoy nature while still relaxing
in the comforts of your home. In order to create an outdoor space that is
unique to you, consider your favorite aspects of nature and plan to incorporate
one or two of those into the design. Highlighting a specific element of the
outdoors will ease the transition from indoors to outdoors and create a welcoming
focal point for your space.
Fire
Fire, a basic element of nature, adds cozy feeling
to your outdoor living space. Whether you have a fire pit, chimney, or fire
place, the presence of fire in the area creates a central gathering place and
hearth.

Water
Water offers a sense of serenity and
relaxation. If you are fortunate enough to have a natural source of water –
such as a bay, ocean or lake – consider building a structure that acts as both
a dock and porch. You can include chairs, tables and umbrellas to add room for
guests to chat, eat or lounge in the sun.
Installing a man-made pool can be equally as
scenic as a natural body of water. Try to seamlessly incorporate the water by
building it flush against your patio or porch. Stairs that descend from the
porch to the water allow guests to hang out in the pool or at the water’s edge
while still being part of the deck activities.

Wood and Stone
Incorporating natural woods and stone into
your space adds a rustic charm. Choosing wood and stone that matches the
natural makeup of your location makes your space a perfect combination of
indoor and outdoor living.

Stone walls and barriers also add a unique flare to your space. A stone
wall incorporated into a bath tub or shower can create a peaceful waterfall
effect.

Regardless of how you design the space, be sure to
use features that ensure an easy flow from indoors to outdoors. Fire, water,
wood and stone are all essential, natural elements that can give you a
springboard for designing a space that fits your unique tastes.
