In recent years, there has been a growing trend of bringing the outdoors in, blurring the lines between the interior and exterior of our homes.
But now in the wake of the rise of popularity of outdoor entertaining, we are seeing a growing trend of “bringing the inside out,” incorporating elements typically found inside the home into the design and décor of our outdoor garden or patio. Think luxury members clubs, country clubs and hotels such as Soho Home and Estelle Manor.
This trend not only adds a cosy and inviting ambiance to outdoor spaces but also allows homeowners to make the most of their entire property.
One popular way to bring the indoors outside is by creating an outdoor living room or dining area. This can be achieved by using outdoor furniture and décor that mimic the comfort and style of indoor furnishings. Plush sofas, deep-seated armchairs, and coffee tables can create a welcoming outdoor sitting area perfect for entertaining or relaxing. Additionally, using outdoor rugs, throws, pillows, and lighting fixtures designed for outdoor use can help to create a truly cosy and inviting outdoor space.
Moreover, incorporating elements such as outdoor kitchens or built-in BBQ’s can extend the functionality of the home garden, allowing for seamless indoor-outdoor living and entertaining. Or why not opt for a pizza oven for sheer indulgence. These outdoor cooking and dining areas provide an ideal setting for hosting gatherings and enjoying meals al fresco.
Another way to bring the indoors to the home garden is by adding potted plants or containers. This not only adds visual interest to the outdoor space but also helps to connect the home and garden in a seamless and natural way.
Additionally, installing features such as outdoor fireplaces, water fountains, or even outdoor artwork can further enhance the indoor-outdoor connection, creating an inviting and relaxing atmosphere. These elements can add a touch of luxury and sophistication to the outdoor space while providing a seamless transition from indoor living to outdoor enjoyment.
