Dreaming of summer in the backyard or on the patio? How to create an oasis
Outdoor home spaces serve a lot of functions, but"soothing refuge" is one desire designers say is in high demand. Aromatic plantings. Romantic arbors. A meandering path. A yoga platform. Pergola daybeds. Prefab saunas. Plunge pools. An outdoor shower. And comfortable furniture that can stand up to the weather.
Seamless transition There can be comfort and ease in keeping a flow between indoors and outdoors. DiClerico calls spaces that straddle that line"transition rooms." A few examples: Room & Board's Rayo outdoor sofas are made of sturdy, recycled, high-density polypropylene, with cushions covered in performance fabrics. Their modern silhouette takes them about as far from a folding aluminum lawn chair as you can get. Article and Homary have sectionals with built-in side tables and convertible lounge features.
As for more temporary shade, pergolas and gazebos in kits can be assembled by a proficient DIYer. A retractable, weatherproof fabric awning in a pattern that complements your outdoor furnishings adds an aesthetic and practical element. Or maybe you just prefer a patio umbrella. "These experiences aren't just reserved for high-end clients," says Popov."There's a distillation of these elements happening throughout the design world, as the value of home and comfort increases."
