Home Envy: Al Fresco

It’s almost a summer tradition to do a post on outdoor spaces so why stop now? It’s summertime and there is honestly nothing better than a perfectly curated and serene outdoor oasis - and my feeds couldn’t agree more. Growing up we had a massive yard with a pool, seating areas, and even a few spaces for a garden and activities like Bocce. It’s one thing I truly miss now that I’m older and have been living in apartments for what feels like forever. Luckily, whether you have a sprawling backyard or a compact balcony, there are plenty of ways to elevate your outdoor area into a stylish and functional retreat.

  • Clean Lines and Minimalist Aesthetics: Sleek furniture with geometric shapes and made of metal, teak, or water-resistant materials are perfect for creating these vibes.

  • Functional Furniture with a Twist: Modular sofas that can be rearranged or tables with built-in storage to maximize your outdoor space.

  • Lighting That Shines: Low-profile lighting fixtures or LED light strips add a subtle glow and are crucial for setting the mood.

  • Natural Elements with a Twist: Sleek planters paired with natural wood decking can soften the hard lines of a modern design and add lush elements into the space.

  • Innovative Outdoor Kitchens: Channel a Love Island villa and make entertaining a breeze with a fully equipped kitchen. Stainless steel appliances, concrete countertops, and minimalist cabinetry create a sleek, functional area for cooking and dining.

  • Art + Accessories: Carefully chosen accessories add personality into your outdoor space - sculptures, abstract art, and chic outdoor rugs can infuse color and texture without overwhelming the clean lines and design.

Creating a sleek, modern outdoor space is all about combining functionality with sophisticated design. By focusing on clean lines, minimalist aesthetics, and innovative features, you can transform any outdoor area into a stylish sanctuary. So, roll up your sleeves, unleash your inner designer, and start creating the modern outdoor oasis of your dreams. Keep scrolling to get a dose of outdoor inspiration. Summer bliss awaits…
