What’s the Purpose of Your Outdoor Living Space?
Do you plan on entertaining friends and family? Need a place for your kids and pets to let out their pent-up energy? Do you have any outdoor hobbies such as gardening?

Create an Ambience
You want your outdoor living area to have a mood or feel that is appropriate to the purpose of this area. You can create an ambiance with your lighting to give additional to areas that may need it, add a fountain, pool, waterfall, or a small pond, or you can add a fire pit or fireplace. This will help your guests feel welcomed at your home.
Use Nature to Help Liven Up the Place
Add some flowerbeds, trees, a veggie garden to help give your area texture, natural color, earth tones, and provide additional shade. As mentioned in the previous point, add water because it automatically creates a calming effect on people which is an additional bonus. Plus, nature provides positive thoughts and emotions.
Create a Central Focal Point
You want to give your outdoor space a cohesive design. Do this by creating a central focal point for where you will host your guests. Use a combination of surfaces such as hard surfaces (granite or a wood deck) that will allow you to put a patio table with chairs and a BBQ grill with ease. You can also use rocks or mulch to soften up some areas where you can place plants. Add a fireplace or a trellis to draw the eye up.
