5 Tips to Elevate Your Outdoor Space
Transform your yard into a place you’ll never want to leave.
With so many outdoor projects underway, we’re sharing a few design‑driven tips that can elevate your yard into an effortless, stay‑awhile retreat.
TIP #1: DEFINE YOUR ZONES
Create intentional areas for dining, cooking, lounging, or play. Even small spaces feel bigger when they’re clearly organized.
TIP #2: LAYER YOUR LIGHTING
Mix ambient, task, and accent lighting. Don’t be afraid to incorporate textures as they will add dimension to a space and help set the mood.
TIP #3: ADD TEXTURE AND GREENERY
Combine greenery, wood, stone, and textiles. Variety adds depth and makes the space feel curated and inviting.
TIP #4: CHOOSE DURABLE MATERIALS
Outdoor furniture and finishes should handle sun, rain, and wear. Opt for weather‑resistant fabrics and long‑lasting surfaces. And when possible, get outdoor furniture covers!
