Options For An Ideal Outdoor Space:
Pick The One That’s Right For You
(BPT) - If you dream of the perfect outdoor
living space for relaxing with a good book in
the shade, entertaining family in your outdoor
kitchen, playing with the kids in the sunshine
- or just breathing in the sights and sounds
of nature in your own personal oasis - here
are some tips to help kickstart the planning
process when the time is right for you.
Modern landscaping and hardscaping offer
limitless possibilities, so you can find the
right solution to complement the way you
live and your personal tastes. Whether you
want a stylish lounge area for entertaining,
a green-filled hideaway for connecting with
nature, or a clean, minimal space for family
fun and games, you can make it happen using
a combination of pavers, walls, fire pits or
even full outdoor kitchens.
Channel your imagination, with a little
pro advice, to help you create an outdoor
space that is perfect for your family, budget
and home. One great resource is Collections
by Belgard, which offers outdoor designers,
contractors and homeowners a way to virtually
re-imagine their outdoor space by pairing the
right textures and colors to match the home’s
style - as well as the homeowner’s vision.
First, spend a little time with your dream,
nailing down what type of outdoor space you
really want. What do you most want to do
in your outdoor space, and what style best
expresses your vision and personality?
Relaxed entertaining center
Maybe your dream sanctuary is a cozy fire
pit surrounded by lounge seating to create a
comfortable outdoor living room family and
guests can enjoy day or night.
Or perhaps you want to dazzle guests with
your culinary skills at a complete outdoor
kitchen - including fun extras like a smoker,
wine cooler or brick pizza oven.
Plan the exact features you want before
choosing the style, and you can make your
dreams come true.
Cozy natural retreat
Create a space for unwinding from the
week’s stresses. Could you arrange a trellis
or pergola bursting with plants and flowers
to set your retreat apart from the rest of the
yard? You could install relaxing hammocks
or a serene fountain to complete your oasis.
Then choose hardscaping elements to
work hand in hand with your favorite natural
elements. For example, Belgard’s Natural
Collection provides hardscaping with the
look of slates and worn stone that can set
the tone for your special hideaway.
Eye-catching extension of your living space
Whatever plans you have for hardscapes,
furnishings, appliances and more, consider
the overall ambiance you want to create.
Consider not only the natural environment,
but what style best complements your home’s
aesthetic.
Want a more aged, rustic appearance to
suit your traditional style home? The antique,
tumbled look of features from the Heritage
Collection combined with elements from the
Natural Collection may suit that style.
Focus on family fun
Maybe your dream is to add outdoor
recreation areas for you and your family.
Consider making space for giant stacking
blocks, life-size checkers or chess, cornhole
or ring toss. How about a mini hedge maze
or paver labyrinth?
Then use the existing feel of your home’s
exterior as the basis for your stylistic direction.
You could go for a traditional, old-world
aesthetic or combine traditional items with the
more modern-looking Metropolitan Collection
to add warmth to your contemporary space.
Homeowners and outdoor designers can
work together to mix and match a variety of
textures, colors and styles to create an outdoor
space that suits any landscape - creating an
extension of your home to make all your
summer dreams come true.
