Adding a Touch of Luxury to Your Backyard: The Step-by-Step Guide
Why embark on a luxury 5-star vacation when you sip cocktails and lounge poolside from the comfort of your own backyard? For those homeowners looking to transform their backyard spaces into a resort-esque oasis, the elegance and glamour you crave are well within reach.
Adding the feel of luxury to your backyard will provide you with the picture-perfect place to entertain your family and friends. A luxurious backyard will also supercharge your home’s resale value.
Before you hire a contractor to construct an outdoor kitchen or built-in outdoor fireplace, you’ll need to start with a blank and vibrantly green canvas. As a first step, homeowners looking to renovate their backyard space should invest in a high-quality grass seed from Nature’s Seed. That way, you can prevent patching and browning, known to cheapen the appearance of your outdoor living areas.
Private beach space
What could be more glamorous than having a private beach in your backyard? This dream staycation spot is not nearly as far-fetched as you may believe. All you’ll need to do is locate a sunny spot in your backyard and cover the ground with landscaping fabric. From there, it’ll be time to unload your white sands and set-up your reclining beach chairs. In a weekend or two, you and your home’s residents can kick back, relax, and recharge your social batteries in a resort-like oasis.
Before you break out the magazines and fruity cocktails, the final step in achieving a backyard beach space is adding a water element. Homeowners who prefer to steer clear of a pond or other natural water sources will need to invest in a water feature for their makeshift beach. Options include a man-made pond, water garden, or fountain.
Outdoor kitchen
A luxury outdoor kitchen is sure to be a hit whenever you invite guests to spend time in your yard. Remember, this outdoor kitchen is bound to be a crowd-pleaser whether the kitchen you desire includes a simple grill set-up or a complete gourmet cooking space.
Once you decide on what type of kitchen you want, you should select the appropriate flooring material. Next, you’ll want to purchase appliances that match the cooking you plan to do in your outdoor kitchen. Once everything is in place, don’t forget to meet your outdoor kitchen’s lighting needs, especially if you’re a nighttime entertainment enthusiast.
Outdoor movie theater
A movie theater in your backyard is a perfect way to entertain your guests. When boiling it down to the basics, there are only two must-haves: a location for an expandable screen and an old school reel-to-reel projector. These items will give your outdoor theater an authentic movie theater feel.
For that extra wow-factor, you can accessorize your theater with chairs that provide comfort for your guests and a loveseat for times you want a more intimate movie-watching experience.
Pool and pool house
An outdoor pool will provide you and your family members with countless hours of fun and relaxation. But this addition becomes even more luxurious once you include a pool house. The many uses for your pool house include a storage location for your favorite pool toys and an outside shower area.
For a final product worth flaunting, don’t forget to put a screen on the doors so that bugs don’t become a nuisance during the spring and summer months.
Final word
Don’t settle for a backyard space with rickety lawn chairs and a playground falling apart at the seams. Enhance your outdoor living space’s appearance by considering these luxurious additions.
