Welcoming the beauty of nature into your living space goes well beyond the inside. It combines the comfort of your house with the natural attractiveness of the outdoors. The art of arranging outdoor spaces provides limitless opportunities to improve your living. Today, we give practical advice to help you create an outdoor space that reflects your style.
1. Pick a theme
Your outdoor space should represent your tastes. Choose a theme and stick to it to limit your design alternatives. Consider creating a Japanese-inspired garden with a bamboo flooring and a soothing color scheme of evergreens and mosses. A stone walkway and trickling fountain will complete the look.
If you wish to experience summers in the English countryside, opt for a cottage garden with wildflowers, a cobblestone fire pit, and aged wood benches. Altering the flora and furniture to the room’s scale can create the same motifs. It’s all about making sense of your surroundings. When you step outside into the garden, you should feel transported.
2. Divide your outdoor space into sections
Think of your outdoor space as something other than a single unit. Dividing the area into pieces will increase its usefulness.
Consider creating separate seating and dining areas. Dividing your outdoor space into several portions may increase its usability and visual appeal, making it ideal for relaxing or entertaining.
Maxxmora Outdoor Living Concept provides a broad selection of high-end outdoor furniture to help you effectively divide your space into practical areas. Here’s how to use our collections to create unique outdoor “rooms”:
A. Lounge area
Every outdoor space should have a pleasant, appealing sitting area. Use Maxxmora’s luxury sofas and armchairs from collections like Hanoi Comfort to create a warm space for leisure and socializing around a fashionable coffee table or a set of side tables from our Coral collection to anchor your lounge area. This arrangement is an excellent backdrop for intimate parties or quiet afternoons.
B. Dining section
Dine al fresco with Maxxmora’s exquisite dining tables and chairs, which come in styles ranging from modern minimalism to rustic charm. Our dining tables from collections such as Loft and William are elegantly built and can accommodate any party size, from intimate family dinners to big social occasions. Position this dining set under a pergola to separate it from the rest of your outdoor space, making you feel catered to and accommodated.
C. Sunbathing & relaxation zone
Maxxmora’s sun loungers and daybeds are ideal for a dedicated sunbathing and relaxation zone. Our Solis collection includes adjustable sun loungers, while our Gloria daybeds provide comfort and sophistication to your outdoor decor. Arrange these near the poolside or in a sunny spot in your yard to encourage leisurely lounging, making you feel pampered and sophisticated.
3. Take the same care with your outdoor lighting
For many, lighting starts and stops inside. But lighting outside can be just as crucial if you want to use your space after the sun goes down.
You want a nice, cozy glow that won’t bother the neighbors. Instead of old, ugly light fixtures, put in pretty lamps, hanging lanterns or string globe lights that came with your house. Also, instead of installing your outdoor flooring in the usual way, try putting it down in a fun pattern. This goes for cement tile, concrete pavers, or decks.
4. Incorporate greenery
Besides using Maxxmora’s weather-friendly materials, fabrics, and furnishings designed to last, a touch of greenery can instantly transform your outdoor space–no matter its size. Incorporate greenery. Our favorites include banana leaf trees and orchids to add a touch of nature. High-design planters can be a creative way to show off one’s style.
5. Let your outdoor space be an extension of your indoor space
Offering an indoor/outdoor connection enhances both the interior and exterior spaces. It ensures that the comforts of the indoors are easily accessible when you need a drink or snack outdoors. It floods the indoor areas with natural light and picturesque outside views, enriching your time spent inside.
At Maxxmora Outdoor Living Concept, we elevate this experience by offering extensive customization options. You can choose from various materials such as fabric, aluminum, braid, and different colors for table tops and materials like wood or ceramic. This variety of options allows you to coordinate your indoor design with your outdoor setting, resulting in a smooth transition and unified style across your living space.
6. Bring different elements together
Take advantage of the elements to add interest to your outdoor living spaces. For example, a fire pit is aesthetically pleasing and provides warmth and a central gathering spot, making it a functional addition to any garden or terrace. Similarly, an outdoor fountain enhances curb appeal and introduces a serene ambiance to your environment. These fountains are available in various sizes, ensuring one suits any space and style preference.
In line with this philosophy, our Istanbul showroom features a stunning outdoor fountain; a decorative pool, turning our display area into a veritable outdoor heaven. This installation exemplifies how well-chosen features can transform any outdoor area into a luxurious and inviting retreat, showcasing the sophisticated design and quality that Maxxmora Outdoor Living Concept is known for.
7. Cook up a kitchen
An outdoor kitchen can transform your garden or terrace into a versatile culinary hub, perfect for entertaining and daily family life. Consider adding a second island with a prep sink and serving area, distinct from the central grilling station. This space is ideal for laying out cocktails and appetizers, providing a welcoming atmosphere for your guests. It also serves as a convenient spot for children to clean up before dinner after a day of outdoor play. Moreover, an electric grill adds practicality to your setup, offering rapid heat when searing a steak or warming a cast iron skillet.
In this spirit of outdoor elegance, Maxxmora Outdoor Living Concept proudly collaborates with a well-known German manufacturer with over 50 years of expertise in producing outdoor furniture. Our “Weatherproof Outdoor Kitchen to Any Garden or Terrace” exemplifies this relationship. These magnificent Cubic outdoor kitchens are intended to last, with materials that don’t require overhead coverage and weatherproof storage options like drawers and cupboards. This protects your utensils and kitchen instruments from the weather while elevating any outdoor setting through durability and design.
8. Incorporate different seating areas
Creating an enticing and multifunctional seating area is vital for making the most of any outdoor space. Some seating arrangements are usually advantageous, even if it is only a tiny bistro table with two chairs. Such settings provide an excellent area to enjoy meals or beverages while serving as a calm retreat for activities such as reading or journaling. Lighting these locations, such as ceiling string lights or outdoor LED lanterns, provides ambiance and extends usability into the evening. Incorporating vegetation, particularly low-maintenance plants such as succulents, can further improve the area’s charm and vibrancy, making it more hospitable and aesthetically beautiful.
Maxxmora Outdoor Living Concept prioritizes elegance and functionality in our outdoor furniture designs. Our products of chairs, armchairs, sofas, daybeds, and tables are designed to provide luxury and usefulness to any outdoor setting.
9. Throw some shade
Adding a pavilion creates a sense of place and sets the stage for relaxing and entertaining. Let a pergola shelter you from the harsh sun this summer. Maxxmora pavilions, such as the sophisticated Ares pergola and the easily installed Raphia, play a critical role in this process. These models offer knowledge and expertise to ensure your pavilion is a trend and a lasting feature of your multifunctional outdoor space.
10. Add an all-weather rug
Introduce graphic patterns and textures to your patio effortlessly using durable polypropylene rugs. These elements not only add visual appeal but also help distinguish different zones in your outdoor living space. Moreover, the softness underfoot enhances the coziness, mirroring the comfortable atmosphere you cherish indoors. This strategic addition ensures your outdoor area is as inviting and stylish as the interior of your home.
As we conclude these tips for styling your outdoor spaces, remember that each choice can add a layer of comfort and allure to your outdoor sanctuary. Whether planning a peaceful morning with a book or an evening with company, your outdoor area is a blank canvas for your imagination. Let it reflect your style, harmonize with your home, and be a place to create memories under the open sky. You can transform any outdoor area into a beautiful retreat with careful planning and a touch of nature.
