Purpose: When designing an outdoor living space, one of the first factors to consider in your design process is how you intend to utilize this space. If you intend to host parties by the pool or want to enjoy outdoor dining at home, you will need furniture to accommodate the number of guests you’d like to host.

Frequency of Use: How much time do you intend to use your outdoor space? Consider the average weather you experience year-round, especially winter months as snow and rain are contributing factors to wear and damage to living space furniture and décor. Also, consider the time and cost of maintenance when finalizing your design.

Surroundings: To create the best outdoor living space for your home, you should take into consideration the space you have available to work with to help determine the layout, as well as the areas connecting to the rest of the house. Consider the placement of the backdoor, pool and pool fencing, the placement of your driveway, and other areas outside that can impact the final design.

Foundation: Having a firm foundation is crucial in ensuring the longevity of your outdoor space. Not only is a foundation practical, but it can also help to create a more distinguished look and designated space for your outdoor living space.

Include Focal Points: Whether you utilize the trees in your backyard or have a gazebo or pergola installed, focal points help to start your design process. Outdoor fireplaces or fire pits and water fountains are other examples of focal points that do not have to be permanent fixtures.

Utilize Colors and Textures: Inviting colors and textures, such as a variety of fabrics or plants, can be used to create ambiance and add the finishing touches to the space’s design. You can also include multiple types of seating and furnishings to add color and texture diversity.
