5 Fresh Outdoor Living Design Ideas

We know that spending more time outdoors reduces anxiety and stress, boosts energy levels, improves memory and combats depression. Those are good reasons to check out these 5 outdoor living design ideas that will help you linger longer outside:

1. A Patio Refresh

Upgrade from the plain concrete slab by extending the space with a retaining wall (if you’re on a slope), adding colored or flagstone walkways, trellises with climbing flowers, shade trees and shrubs to screen for privacy, and maybe even a focal point like a pond or fountain. Benches or comfortable outdoor furniture make it easy to lounge with friends or a good book.

2. Light Your Fire Pit

A fire pit can enliven your outdoor space well into the cooler months, bringing warmth, light and marshmallow-roasting and entertaining opportunities for family and friends

3. Outdoor Living Rooms

Incorporating any of the above ideas and add overhead shelter with cozy patio furniture and you can spend more time lounging in the yard than ever before.

4. Outdoor Kitchens

People who love to entertain are really getting into the outdoor kitchen idea. Keep the heat of cooking outside during the summer and warm up the cooler months outdoors with a cozy fall dinner party. Everything you need to entertain is right there.

5. Dreamy Garden Vistas

Festoon your backyard with local, drought-resistant, eye-catching plants, flowers and trees that provide color and texture all year round and you’ll find yourself enjoying fresh air more often.
