Maybe it's splashing around in a pool on those hot summer afternoons. Or maybe it's a water feature that makes your backyard feel even more serene. No matter which path you go down (perhaps both), water deserves a home in your outdoor space.
Backyards have long been a space for relaxation. And while that still rings true, there has been a push toward making backyards more of a conversation hub. So the cozier of outdoor spaces you can create with the right amenities, the more welcoming it will feel to guests.
In a time when homeowners are looking to maximize use of their outdoor space, it's only natural that multi-functional furnishings have become more popular. It could be a seat that doubles as a storage bench or an ottoman that doubles as a coffee table, to name a few examples.
When it comes to living a greener lifestyle, growing your own fruits, vegetables and herbs is one way to go about it. From tomatoes and strawberries to basil and thyme, there are endless possibilities as to what you can pull in fresh from your backyard.
When thinking about plants, color often comes to mind first. But there's also the shape of the plant to consider. Plants with unique leaf and flower shapes can add dynamic visual interest to various areas of your backyard.
