Having your new deck or patio in place is great, but how can
you best accessorize it to get the most of the space and fit your lifestyle? Your
guests falling through the sun-rotted fabric of your old folding chairs doesn’t exactly scream ‘outdoor oasis’. You don’t have to spend a fortune to outfit your outdoor space,
but don’t be ‘that guy’. Here are some great ideas to expertly accessorize your
personal outdoor oasis, regardless of your budget.
Shed Some Light On It!
Proper strategically-placed outdoor lighting accomplishes wonders
to not only enrich the outward appearance of your home and outdoor oasis, but
also to put the ‘style’ in your lifestyle. Outdoor lights make a major impact
on the atmosphere of a landscape and increase the time that you and your family
will enjoy in your outdoor living space.
Furnish It!
Great furniture brings comfort and function to your outdoor
spaces. Enjoying priceless moments with family and friends while relaxing on
the perfect design and color of outdoor furniture is a key component to
expertly accessorizing your outdoor oasis. When choosing the right outdoor
furniture for your space, consider how you would like that space to function.
Should it serve as an outdoor dining area on warm summer nights, or is a
peaceful reading nook a better fit for your lifestyle? Make a list of your
goals and spaces to fill.
Get Your Drink On!
Adding an outdoor bar is a great way to add enjoyment to
your outdoor living. At the end of a busy day at work, it’s a great place to unwind
with your favorite beverage. It’s also a great functional gathering place when
you throw your deck parties and family gatherings. A wide variety of options
are available from quick and campy, to elaborate and opulent. Bars can be built
from wood, metal, glass, hardscape, and many other combinations thereof. The sky
is the limit when it comes to design ideas. Make sure you choose something that
fits your lifestyle and accommodates your needs, but also one that compliments
the overall design theme of your outdoor oasis.
Put Some Fire On It!
According to the American Society of Landscape Architects,
fire pits, or outdoor fireplaces, are the No. 1 requested design feature today.
They add ambiance to a cool evening, and it's nice to just sit and stare at a
burning fire. Plus, you can have one for a lot less than you might think. Adding
a warm and attractive fire table to your oasis is the perfect plan when you
want to keep the party on the deck.
There are many varieties of deck-safe, gas-burning tables available to
compliment every décor from rustic to contemporary, creating an exceptional
outdoor atmosphere. The perfect fire
table is guaranteed to be a centerpiece for conversation or contemplation and
enhance your outdoor environment and experience, whether alone or with company.
Get Your Grill Station On!
If an elaborate, full-blown outdoor kitchen isn’t in your
budget, consider adding an attractive and functional grilling and smoker
station to your outdoor living experience. Grilling stations can be built from
a variety of materials that compliment your surrounding deck and patio including
wood, metal, or hardscape. A grilling station creates a quality location to
expand your cooking and prep surfaces, incorporating your favorite grill and / or smoker. You can add a small sink, built-in cutting board, counter top beverage chilling bin, and more for very little additional investment.
So don your best apron and get to grilling you grill master! You're burning daylight and a prime slab of grilled greatness protein perfection awaits!
