Let’s look at this logically. You love being outdoors. You love kicking your shoes off, putting your feet up and allowing yourself (for once) to relax your entire body. What, then, could be better than creating a relaxation destination in your outdoor patio space?
Outdoor lounge areas are multi-faceted; you can use them as a solo place to unwind after the rigors of the day or to sit next to a dear friend and share your life’s tales over a cool drink.
We’ve had our patio experts put together some inspirational ideas to help you get the absolute most of your outdoor lounge… Let’s get inspired!
Adding fine touches to your patio that are socially unconventional, but artistically sound (if you’re thinking “Bohemian,” you’d be right on the money) allows your patio to gain character points without looking goofy. Additions like Fire Pit Art’s FIRESURFER series add warmth and light to your patio while adding an artistic flare that your guests will love. Fueled by either liquid propane or natural gas, the Firesurfer kicks out huge flames (30,000 BTUs of heat) that’ll hold your guests attention transfixed for hours.
We love the look of this modern minimalist outdoor lounge. The clean architectural lines are echoed in the ample seating areas, all overlooking a beautiful ocean setting. The homeowners have brilliantly added Eurofase Heating Infrared Patio Heaters into the ceiling that uses highly efficient infrared heat (heating the things in front of it like the sun, and not the air itself) to provide their guests a cozy space to discuss life, the universe and everything as the sun dips over the horizon.
Inspired by the countries surrounding the Mediterranean Sea (including Spain, Greece, Italy, and Morocco), a Mediterranean terrace makes wide use of stone or terra cotta floors. Lean your color palette toward warm, earthy tones (such as terra cotta, ochre, burnt umber or chestnut), making wide use of wrought iron or wooden furniture to bring an old-world style to your terrace. Here we find the perfect space for sunlit days tempered by cooling breezes from the Kichler Lighting Ahrendale ceiling fan with a gorgeous Auburn Stained finish and anvil mesh shade, fitting in perfectly with your Mediterranean décor.
Create an instant feeling of Zen for your guests by adding lounge chairs and hammocks at your waterside retreat. They’ll revel in the sun’s warmth, cooled by gentle ocean breezes while seagulls sing their cacophonous serenade. Relaxation isn’t just a possibility here, it’s a requirement… and one that is oh so easy to reach.
These homeowners make sure that their guests are fully relaxed and comfortable even as the night gets chilly by installing American made Infratech Electric Patio Heaters that are recessed and flushed mounted so as not to spoil that gorgeous view.
Your house doesn’t have to have been made of hand-hewn timber to enjoy the feeling of a rustic country cabin in your own back yard. Start with a central fire pit, a natural attention-seeker that is sure to captivate your guests every evening. Add rustic wooden chairs (here we have the classic Adirondak chairs in both stationery and rocker varieties), add in a few plaid blankets and break out the marshmallows! Our homeowners here have lit the path to their backyard oasis perfectly using Kichler Lighting dome path lights, providing safety and security all night long.
Surround yourself with calming natural flora and allow their gently flowing limbs and leaves to create your own backyard tranquility retreat. Investing in a top-quality, drop-dead gorgeous fire table means you need to create a comfortable, casual space to gather together and let the day wash off you. Create a cozy seating area for all to bask in the warmth of the amazing Athena Fire Tables Olympus rectangular fire pit table - At a colossal 5’ in length and constructed of glass fiber reinforced concrete, this propane beauty has a 10-inch table top surround that your guests will love.
