Relax-Unique Outdoor Spaces

In the heat of the summer, the pool calls your name and the sun draws you outdoors into its presence.  Create a unique boutique hotel poolside escape right in your own backyard and enjoy a” stay-cation” this summer.  In this post we will cover chic and sexy tips for creating a mood altering outdoor retreat for you to worship the sun, dine with friends, and even catch some zzz’s.

When creating your unique outdoor space the first rule of thumb is to bring some elements of style from the indoors to the outdoors.  For example, if your style is modern with bold black and white colors throughout your home, then it’s best to look for clean modern lines for the patio furniture.  Furthermore while bringing some black and white onto the patio; you have the freedom to add a pop of color for the outside.  This will make the overall look of your home flow well.

Once you’ve chosen your theme and design elements to compliment your indoor space, it’s time to pull together the décor.   We’ve been searching for unique furniture ideas to create a one of a kind space that is completely functional.  We are in love with the hanging beds in the following images…getting sleepy already?

On a recent trip to the Dominican Republic we strolled on a beach lined with these wicker orbs.  Imagine a lazy afternoon in one of these in your own backyard, dreaming you’re away on a heavenly vacation.

The poolside lounger is a must have for that St. Tropez tan we all desire.  The Jigsaw team just installed a black and white themed outdoor living space in Palm Springs, CA.  The designers used Black and White polka dot loungers for a pop of whimsy at this chic California home.

Other loungers we are drawn to are meant more for reading and relaxing that sunning.  The mid-century modern pink lounger adds a bold pop of color, while the circular lounger is a statement making art piece.

Another trend that keeps popping up is fake grass.  As the craze continues for real grass yards to be replaced with faux grass, we continue to see this kitschy element sneaking into the furniture and accessory markets.   Grassy chairs, ottomans, bars and pillows.  In the following images you will see an entire outdoor space constructed of natural and faux grass.  Though we are not sure how comfortable that might be, it is thought provoking.

If you find these images enticing but don’t have a patio or terrace…no problem, just create one.  Using a large piece of fabric for a canopy and a little imagination, you can create an outdoor space anywhere.  Here you will see how a great functional space was created using white fabric as a canopy and white rocks to distinguish the space from the rest of the yard.

If you are looking to create something more substantial, consider converting that old shed or detached garage into an adult playhouse.  These custom created get-a-ways are perfect for adding the outdoor space you need if your home doesn’t have a built in patio or deck.

Whatever type of outdoor space speaks to you albeit chic mid-century modern or a Moroccan bohemian Kasbah; step outside the lines of norm and have fun creating your unique get-a-way.  In the busy world we live in everybody needs one.  Bon Voyage!
