Top 10 Things To Do When Designing Your Outdoor Living Space

- Design – Make a plan for your space. Create a layout for the space you want to use in your yard. Measure out the dimensions and draw up a plan, take photos with you when you’re shopping. A little advanced planning can set the foundation for your perfect outdoor living environment. Need help? Seasonal Concepts can help you design your space.
- Define – What type of look and feel are you trying to achieve? Look online for styles and designs that fit the environment you hope to create. Is there an inspiration piece or specific style that you want to emulate? Are you trying to express the same look and feel you have inside your home or do you want to do something different?
- Color – color can set a mood, sophisticated elegance or fun and whimsical. Do you want to start with a neutral base so you can change up the color each season. Color is an inexpensive way to project your personal style and add some variety to the look.
- Plantings – keep in mind you can work with your landscape and existing plantings or add some new ones. Add plants that go with your color palette, or create shade and atmosphere. Don’t forget this important element. The strategically placed planting or planters can help to define your space and give it character.
- Patio Furniture – create an outdoor dining space to rival your favorite restaurant patio. Make dining alfresco a daily event. Set up an outdoor conversation area to enjoy with friends and family. A comfortable and stylish patio furniture set can provide many years of outdoor enjoyment.
- Lighting – patio lighting can create warmth and atmosphere and extend the time you can spend outdoors. Don’t forget the various types of lighting, flood lights, security lights, string lights, lanterns, all can add different moods to your outdoor living environment
- Fire Features – keep the evenings warm and inviting. A fire feature can add ambiance and extend your outdoor living season. What can compare to a roaring fire on a crisp fall night!
- Accessories – Take your outdoor living space to the next level with a few accessories. Add an outdoor rug to help define your space. A beautiful centerpiece can add that special touch on the patio table to make it feel more elegant. For convenience, have an outdoor storage chest for your accessories.
- Cushions and pillows – the must have accent for comfort, color and design. Cushions and pillows are the easiest way to set the design and create comfort and a homey setting.
- Beverage Center – entertaining can be easy outdoors with a bar, cocktail cart or cooler table. Make it easy to serve refreshments to your guests and not have to run back and forth indoors so you can enjoy more leisure time when you’re hosting.
7 Recommendations for Outdoor Living in 2021

- Turn things inside out! Have breakfast on the patio, take the laptop outside under the umbrella for the next Zoom meeting, invite the neighbor over for a social distanced happy hour. With a great patio dining set you can dine outside, relax in the sun with a cold beverage, and most important of all change your perspective with a new view outside the house!
- Add an outdoor kitchen or bar. Create a vacation atmosphere in your backyard with a convenient cooking space, cooler table and beverage cart, or both. Add a portable pizza oven for your own patio bistro. If you can’t take that vacation this year, invest in a staycation environment in your own backyard.
- Add some light and extend your outdoor time. Add some outdoor lighting features. Nothing creates an inviting atmosphere more than the warmth of soft lighting. Decorative string lights, lanterns, outdoor LED candles, lamps and solar lighting are all great options.
- Create some warmth outdoors. From an outdoor fireplace, fire pit, fire table, tabletop fire feature and outdoor heaters…we have a plethora of fire options available to suit any space.
- Don’t forget to accessorize. Cushions, pillows, blankets, rugs…all of the comforts of your indoor living space are now available and made for outdoor living. Store your accessories in a convenient deck box for ease of access and to keep them clean and dry. Small water features can add some peace, serenity and visual interest to your space.
- Don’t forget the kiddos! A creative play area adjacent to your outdoor living space can create fun for the whole family. Check out these cute kids adirondack chairs sized just for them. The adults get a break and the kids are occupied with outdoor fun and away from screens.
- Create a garden. Healthy and beneficial to the grocery budget, a edible garden can be a home school project for the kids to participate in as well. A few planters or flower beds can create a beautiful view from the home office window to brighten the work-from-home day.
