Outdoor Room Ideas For Small Spaces

By Brad Wilson


Not everyone has the advantage of living in a home with a huge backyard. Being limited on space shouldn't be the reason you won't create a comforting outdoor space. The truth is the opposite. These tips are meant to help you create a fantastic outdoor space in your home.


How To Make The Most Of A Small Space

Capture the Right View- One of the biggest mistakes homeowners make when trying to create an outdoor room in a small space is positioning all of the furniture against the house. While you might think this create more of an area for your guest to walk and enjoy the patio furniture you purchased from outdoor-furniture-shop.com, it can actually make your space seem smaller, especially if the house or your plants are obscuring the view of your back yard. On the contrary, your furniture should be placed in a way that allows guest and visitors to face the largest part of the yard.

Add a Bit of Elevation- Perhaps you need them all; an outdoor kitchen, dining room and living room but you are short on the space to pull all these out? You can elevate the rooms. A platform or a few steps made from different materials can help to separate each room and give the illusion of a larger space.

Keep it Simple- Enjoying your time outdoors means spending more time lounging on your outdoor contemporary furniture and less time doing chores. Choose low-maintenance plants that can be planted in movable containers. You will have less work to do, and can easily move the plants to create instant privacy for your outdoor room.

The Colour Palette- Using a complicated colour palette can do more harm to your house than good. Keep your colours choices simple when choosing wicker furniture, accessories, and plants, and carry the same theme from one outdoor room to another.

Keep It Clear- While covered outdoor structure may work in large spaces, this may not be the best choice in your small outdoor space. You shouldn't cover your outdoor rooms under a pergola. Keeping it open will allow for fantastic views and more space.

Install Outdoor Lighting- You can use the right lighting to either portray how large or small your space is. You can use both ambient and task lighting to compliment function and mood.

Grab Their Attention- What do your guests usually stare at when sitting in your outdoor wicker furniture? Take their focus away from the small proportions of your backyard and provide them with something that will capture their attention. You can use items like a statue, covered flower, trellis or an arbour to achieve this.

Add Some Sound- Yes, everyone would cherish the sound of a bubbling brook or pond, but there may not be enough space for it. You can still use an alternative, however. You can use a tabletop fountain for the sound and motion your outdoor room needs.

It is true that we can't all live in homes with big backyards but we can still create that illusion after all. Use these tips to create a perfect outdoor space with outdoor rooms that does not only provide enough space for some outdoor fun but beautiful enough to compliment your backyard.

If your space is big, if you have interesting wall objects, or if you think the room could use more style elements, it's wise to consider hanging objects. Overall, you want to achieve a balanced arrangement that compliments your style and the room's area. Consider the following ideas when hanging your objects:

TEXTURE Adding texture to a wall is an unexpected and contemporary surprise that creates an instantly trendy and modern ambience in any space. Selecting a paintable textured damask wall covering is the perfect style to incorporate into a room for an inexpensive modern update. The large scale damask gives a contemporary look while the ability to paint the design any color you choose makes it simple to coordinate with existing decor. Graham & Brown's Large Paintable Damask is the right damask wallpaper to make this style your own.

For those who would prefer a country kitchen area, beckons a little more character in its dcor. A rooster themed paper is a popular kitchen wallpaper that appeals to the country style. A lot of people opt for the classic farm bird to add some detail to this space as it appeals to another age. The bright bold reds from the rooster actually stimulate the appetite too.

Tiles - a tried-and-tested formula for areas of heavy wear or maximum exposure to water and heat. It's usually recommended to tile an entire feature wall to add texture and dimension to the space.Stone - this is creating a come-back though designers prefer to marry varied textures e.g. rough against grooved granite.
