If you appreciate the luxurious design, detail and furnishings of a home, you don’t want to stop at the back door. As the weather gets warmer and summer parties and events hosted at your home abound, designing an upscale backyard should be a top priority.
If you?re looking to take your backyard living space from ordinary to extraordinary, read on for some of the hottest trends in luxury backyard living.
Modern Era
If you have a taste for opulence, design your backyard with a modern flair. This includes clean lines, elegant features, monochromatic color schemes of white, black, gray and beige and crisp fabrics.
Include a pool that has clean, straight lines. A trendy option is a swimming pool with an invisible edge (otherwise known as an infinity pool) that exacerbates the modern appeal. Grass tile is another way to incorporate crisp lines into your design. These increasingly popular outdoor grids of grass and plants offer a geometric layout to your yard that perfectly accompanies your landscape finishes.
Use plants and flowers as a border to heighten the modern appeal. If your backyard is particularly large, divide it into several spaces with partitions, bamboo walls or tall hedging.
Natural Beauty
If you prefer a natural look in your backyard, create a space that is full of organic materials, curvy designs and warm tones of brown, sienna, orange and brick. Organic gardens that are full of flowers, vegetables and herbs offer a practical yet refined feature as well.
