Trying to figure out how to bring an outdoor room together and make it a peaceful place to relax or have a good time with friends and family makes it easy to get overwhelmed.
But if you think of it as another room decorated and laid out, the space will come together more easily.
Measurement and simple on-site analysis measure the area of your patio or outdoor room just like your room at home.
This most important step is essential for scaling of comfort-sized outdoor furniture, patio accessories, flower pots, etc.
The next step is a simple on-site analysis.
For this, you will want to write down factors such as direction (
North, south, east, west)
If any, your patio is facing the prevailing wind;
The area under the sun or shadow and any other related observations that affect the quality of people\'s stay in the space.
Now, for fun, start with how you want to use your patio, create a realistic wish list: Relax, entertain friends, grill/grill, eat outdoors, hang out with friends and family, talk, etc.
Now go back to your website analysis and, if applicable, determine where you can start transferring these items to your outdoor room.
But before you do, here are some suggestions and ideas for your consideration.
The courtyard furniture and elements are carefully arranged to create a comfortable space and create a pleasant atmosphere. It is important to consider these details: circulation? How will people pass through this space;
Where will people sit? Views -
What people will look at when they sit.
For circulation, unless you have no choice, you want to place a rest area where circulation does not pass directly to distract the space.
Create comfortable seats for conversation, orientation chairs, sofas and gliders to one another, 6 to 8 feet apart;
It\'s a comfortable distance to talk without feeling too close.
For views, you can create focus with trees and shrubs in the distance or pots and decorations nearby.
From your website analysis, you find information about how the wind blows.
By understanding the direction of the prevailing wind, you can make some good decisions about the placement of certain items.
First of all, if you want to include a grill or barbecue, be sure to put these accessories in a position where the wind will take the smoke from the cooking fire away from the outdoor space;
There is nothing more irritating than the uncomfortable sting of the smoked grill.
Also, if you have an area with a cold wind, you can block it by creating a vertical plane;
This can be achieved by planting trees or shrubs on the ground, or by placing them in or around the patio in pots.
Fences and walls are also helpful.
As for the Sun, the same vertical plane can be displayed on the sun later in the afternoon.
For the overhead sun, the retractable awning is a very effective way to minimize the sun and heat.
These awnings are meant to extend (open)or retract (close)
Create a shadow or sun option.
Other ways to create shadows from the scorching sun: patio umbrellas and sheds, sheds, or sheds.
Creating a sense of enclosure is a great way to make your outdoor space more private;
This is also a good way to separate from neighbors and privacy.
Think about the walls and ceilings in your home: The walls are vertical planes and the ceiling is overhead planes.
Outdoors, these vertical and overhead planes help lay the foundation for an outdoor room.
When you don\'t want to overuse or completely close your outdoor space, add some elements: shrubs, trees, shrubs, sheds, etc. to improve the atmosphere of your patio space in a careful way.
Once you measure your outdoor space, do a live analysis, and find out the area where you will place outdoor furniture, you can start reviewing the options for outdoor furniture and accessories.
If your yard is small, you may only want to buy one or two chairs or tables to chat and relax, and buy a small restaurant table for snacks.
If your space is large, you may be looking for a larger seating arrangement: sofa, Chair, coffee table, an area and a terrace with umbrella.
There are many options and styles to choose from, and you can learn more about available materials and brands by visiting the local courtyard furniture store or shopping online.
The commonly used furniture materials are: outdoor wicker, teak, wrought iron, cast iron, recycled plastic, leisure aluminum, etc.
You can buy this furniture separately, or you can buy a set of furniture, such as a table with chairs.
There are many patio furniture to choose from and you can easily create an outdoor space with good use.
Additional outdoor decoration accessories such as patio lights, fire pits, garden pavilions and sheds, as well as outdoor heaters, are ideal for creating a good atmosphere outdoors and are very powerful.
For example, the outdoor heater will greatly extend your time outdoors, giving you more time to enjoy outdoors later in the fall and earlier in the spring.
Outdoor fireplaces, such as: chimeneas, fire pits, and even gas outdoor fireplaces, create a good atmosphere and focus, as well as a barbecue, heating, or just enjoy hanging out by the fire.
