Create Outdoor Spaces With Indoor Luxury

We are so fortunate to live in such a wonderful climate so we can implement the latest trends in outdoor living. Following the outdoor space trend we’re seeing extensions of indoors/interiors. Spaces such as outdoor kitchens, dining areas, and entertainment sitting areas equipped with every comfort and luxury of interior spaces are replicated outdoors. Decide the focal point of the space, and how you want to separate the outdoor area from the interior. Retractable glass doors are best in creating the indoor/outdoor feel. Easy entrance to the indoor creates a good flow of movement between the two spaces and gives the allusion the spaces are one in the same.

Start designing your outdoor space with what is already available to you. Decide how and what you will use the outdoor space for, and how many people you envision in your outdoor space at once. An outdoor space can be used for events, personal leisure or entertainment, and provides an alternative to entertaining inside your home. If your backyard has an existing patio you’re one step ahead of the game as you will not have to build the physical space. Measure the area to get a better idea of what you can do with the space. Limited space calls for more intimate seating while larger spaces can be split up by higher chairs and a bar for entertaining or a fire pit can act as a focal point within the space.

Accessorizing outdoor areas can be a fun way to develop your design aesthetic from interior inspirations. Comfortable pillows with lush fabrics, embellished lamps, candles of various heights (keep candles out of the hot sun during Arizona summers), wall art or vases can add dimension and pops of color to your outdoor space.OutdoorSpace1

Seating is very important in an outdoor space. Ask yourself how many people will be using the space, and what the focal point will be to arrange the seating around it. If you like to watch sports, but aren’t big on cooking, install a television and arrange the seating around it. Continue the aesthetic from inside your home with the same textures and fabrics. As far as furnishings are concerned, beautiful fabrics seen indoors, even velvets and chenille, are making outdoors spaces more posh than ever before. Outdoor rugs are a must to give the area a cohesive feel and don’t forget about fabulous lamps and chandeliers. Keeping the outdoor area well lit, but intimate and cohesive with your interior design elements will continue the flow and aesthetic of your interior design concepts.
