Create an Enjoyable Outdoor Living Space

Most of us, who were cooped-up inside this past winter, are now wanting to spend as much time as possible outside. Creating a "room" in your outdoor space will make it even more enjoyable; so here are a few tips to help you create that perfect "outdoor room".

Start by defining the space. If you are lucky enough to have a deck, a large front porch, or a cement patio; this space will be ideal. If not chose a flat space in your yard, maybe under a tree so there will be some shade.
 
Now it is time to select a decorating theme. Some ideas might include: an English tea garden, a beach theme, a Zen harmony garden or maybe a spicy Moroccan theme would be more to your liking. Whatever you decide, have fun with it. Remember to stay with the theme as this will help to create a cohesive design.

 
Make sure to have ample seating for family and friends, then anchor the space with an outdoor rug from Brymons. These rugs are made from durable, long lasting materials, come in many different colors and sizes, and can be cleaned with the outside garden hose. How easy is that?!


A few potted plants in a variety of heights and sizes can be used to create a border for this area; make sure to use containers that fit the chosen theme. This will enhance the space, adding texture and fragrance. If you don't have a green thumb, you can achieve the same effect with our artificial trees, plants or a  silk floral arrangement custom designed for your space.

Live near a busy street? Bringing in a water feature or fountain can help drown out traffic noise or even the neighbor's barking dog. You'll find several styles of fountains available at Brymons.

In the evening, light your area with electric paper lanterns, hanging them from the porch rail or maybe up in the tree branches. Then, use a grouping of lit candles on a table top.  This will add ambiance and enhance the mood.

And finally, as those warm summer nights start to turn cool, extend the life of your outdoor room with an electric outdoor fireplace from Brymons. These fireplaces are fully weather proof and have a real-log-flame look.

And finally – enjoy!
