Backyard Bliss

For me, there is nothing better than a great backyard. Anticipating how the backyard can be utilized for relaxation and enjoyment is the key to its success.

It can be a place to unwind and lounge, or even dine with family and friends. I often think of this area as a retreat or sanctuary to completely escape, decompress, and just enjoy nature.

The most basic of elements can be used to create a noteworthy space. Stone pavers and ceramic tiles add color and texture to any backyard. They are the flooring needed to ground the conversation or dining area.

Think of this area as your canvas and create an interesting element in your space using plants, stone or slate tiles.

A comfortable seating and dining area is welcoming for entertaining. The idea of a design that is restful and embraces nature is ideal in any outdoor space.

How charming it is to take a free-standing building and make it a studio or guest house similar to this one. Cover it with ivy and surrond it with plants and flowers and it will be the guest quarters your friends or family will never forget.
