One of the major challenges of designing an outdoor space is tying it all together with the home’s design. A well designed outdoor space should be an extension of the home and should feature the same design influences. Outdoor spaces often get neglected and remain barren or are quickly thrown together with simple outdoor furniture and a BBQ. After putting some time into designing an outdoor space, homeowners find that it becomes one of their favorite areas of the home and their use of the outdoor space increases dramatically.
What can you do to create an inviting outdoor space? Start by paying attention to your home’s details. Is it mid-century modern? Traditional? Mediterranean? The style of your home should inform the color and style of the outdoor furnishings that you select.

The symmetry and repetition found in this landscaping design fits the mid-century modern style of the home.
Traditional patio furniture would clash greatly with the sleek lines of a mid-century modern home. The style of the home should also influence the landscaping of the yard. A rustic themed home could have a wildflower garden, while a traditional home may be much more manicured. A mid-century modern home could have a highly symmetrical landscape design. The most important thing when creating a unified outdoor space is simply spending the time to take a closer look at the design of your home to ensure that its design elements are reflected in the outdoor space.
