Imagine a tranquil oasis right outside your door—a place where you can unwind, entertain and connect with nature. Creating the perfect luxury outdoor living spaces can turn this dream into a reality. Whether you have a spacious backyard or a cozy patio, you can design an outdoor space that enhances your quality of life. Here’s how.
Luxury Outdoor Living Spaces
What Do You Imagine?
How do you imagine using your space? Will it be for dinner and conversation or just a place to hang out and relax? Do you envision a cozy fire pit for chilly evenings or a lush garden for peaceful solitude? Understanding your goals will guide your design choices.
Lay It Out
The size of your outdoor space will dictate how you arrange furniture and features. Talk to your builder about extending your patio so you can easily create zones for different activities. A great example can be found in the David Weekley model home which has dining and conversation areas. A pergola provides additional living space.
Do You Cook?
If you love grilling and chilling, invest in a summer kitchen. These built-in barbecues usually incorporate a grill, mini fridge and counter space making hosting your annual summer barbecue a breeze and an outdoor living trends 2023. Check out the J. Patrick model home if you want to see the ultimate summer kitchen.
Do You Love the Night Life?
Your outdoor space should be able to go from day to night. Add an outdoor fireplace or fire pit for when nights get chilly. String lights, lanterns and candles to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Solar-powered lights are an eco-friendly option.
Get Shady
Texas summers are hot, so you want your space to be shady. Jordan Ranch homes feature covered patios which is a great start. You can add to that by planting shade trees and pergolas.
What About Landscaping?
A beautiful lawn is nice but to really enhance your outdoor living space, incorporate a mix of trees, shrubs, flowers and potted plants to create a lush, inviting environment.
Invest in Comfort
Invest in comfortable seating options that encourage relaxation. Outdoor sofas, lounge chairs and hammocks provide comfort and style.
Make it Durable
Select outdoor furniture and materials that can withstand the elements in your area. Materials like teak, cedar and aluminum are popular choices. Ensure that any fabrics or cushions are designed for outdoor use and can resist moisture and fading.
Make It Personal
Accessorize your outdoor space to reflect your style. Add colorful outdoor pillows, decorative rugs and art pieces. Incorporate your personality into the design to make the space truly yours. The J. Patrick model home, for example, incorporates a putting green for avid golfers.
Protect Your Investment
Regular maintenance is key to preserving your outdoor living area’s beauty and functionality. Clean and store cushions when not in use, seal wooden furniture and trim plants as needed. Invest in covers to protect furniture from harsh weather.
