Making the Most of Your Outdoor Space

When you move into a new home, you begin to immediately plan how you will decorate the indoors. From new furniture to renewing old light fixtures, your home is an extension of yourself. Your outdoor space or porch is no exception. There are a few key tips to help any homeowner make the most of your home’s outdoor space.

A raised deck is much more space-efficient than a cement one. The cement porch area tends to look a bit unsightly and unwelcoming, a look changed by a brighter raised deck. One affordable and vibrant way to create a raised deck is in the palette, but most use cedar wood. It is a type of wood that is most resistant to rot, decay, and insects that are naturally in an outdoor space.

Take advantage of light in your outdoor space. If you only have a single light for your porch, it will be hard – if not impossible – to utilize this space when the sign goes down. String lights are ideal for an outdoor space. Uplighting is another affordable option. Not only do string lights add a broad spectrum of light for your raised deck space, but they come in all different shapes and colors to reflect your personal style.

Furniture can be the focus for your outdoor space. You can either make your own or hunt down the ideal pieces at your local home improvement store. Like the string lighting, you can pick pieces that reflect your personal style. A customized bench or sectional may be ideal, as well could be chaired and a large table. Like materials for your raised deck, you may choose a more durable wood, basing some of your choices on the environment in which you love.

Spare décor such as plants or lawn décor is a great way to make the most of your space. It will bring out your personal style and create a welcoming, warm environment for your guests and family. Plants especially add just the right pop of color to your outdoor space.

Your home’s outside space is just as important as the indoors.Whether you choose Christmas lights or large ferns for your outdoor space, make sure it is as inviting and personable as you are. Make use of the space that you have, whether you have an acre or just a few feet. Your outdoor space, like the rest of your home, is an extension of your home and should reflect this.
