Dramatize your outdoor living space
Few people are fortunate enough to have a patio, front and back yard or some sort of walkway. To make this private outdoor space as attractive as possible, a higher percentage of people opt for professional landscaping services. While they are effective, they also come with hefty price tags. The following are a few simple steps that anyone can take and get a warm fuzzy feeling each time they step out of the house.
The easiest thing is using plants in beautiful vases. You can get these in any plant shop or on the internet. Also the variety of shapes and sizes of plants and vases can help you choose the ones that complement your house and yard. Good examples include the Cairo vase planter, Valenciaga round fiberglass planters and the like.
Another thing is by using solar outdoor lights. These lights are not only aesthetically pleasing particularly when coupled with plant life but also very cheap to own and maintain. This is because they are powered by the sun and they are made of very durable material since they are built to be exposed to the elements.
Another viable option for dramatizing outdoor space is building outdoor rooms. These can include gazebos or miniature botanical gardens. Contrary to popular belief, these rooms are not expensive or hard to maintain. Also they work very well when used with solar outdoor lights. The end result is a fantastically beautiful well lit outer room. To decorate your outdoor rooms, choose colors that work together to create consistency and beauty that includes flowers, furniture, and accessories in the space. These rooms are mostly supplemented with flowers and plants. To keep the rooms lively all year round, either choose plants and flowers that bloom all year round or a variety, each with different blooming seasons. The first option is preferred by many because less time, care and money is needed.
The above work very well for someone that just wants their home to look beautiful. In some cases, it is the owner of a commercial building or large business like a holiday resort or airport that wants aesthetically pleasing outdoors. In this case, all he has to do is take the above pointers and go large scale.
In the case of solar outdoor lights, all he has to do is look for larger lighting systems. An outdoor light for a holiday resort is different in size and power output when compared to lights for someone’s back yard. The design will have to incorporate usability, safety and above all beauty. The good side is that to reduce power usage, all he has to do is make sure that the solar panel is in the sun all day long. This will ultimately mean that he gets dramatic outdoor space at a very low cost.
In the case of outdoor plants, he should go for commercial planters. These are available in any landscaping shop or on the internet. An example is the Coronado Premier Planters used by the Hotel Del Coronado.
Using these simple options will go a long way in beautifying your outdoor space.
