The outdoor area of the house is a piece of real estate that many homeowners are looking to upgrade. While some know the exact changes they want, others are confused with the options.
Indeed, there are lots of things to consider, but the primary one is the décor style. One style that is loved by many is the farmhouse décor. Modern farmhouse design combines the elegance of contemporary design with the comfortable style of a farmhouse aesthetic. Let’s see how you can bring that design to life in the outdoor setting of a house.
Rustic & Organic Look
The appearance and materials used have a major say in farmhouse design. Wood and metal play a crucial role, and their combination often delivers some aesthetically pleasing results.
The rustic look gives into natural beauty and embraces it. Wood is one of the most natural materials out there, which is why it is used so much. Metal is used because of how well it pairs with different shades of wood.
Incorporate Nature
Creating an outdoor area means changing a few things. One thing to keep in mind during these changes is incorporating nature.
Contractors use stone for a natural touch. But in case the area has an existing stone leveling, use that to your advantage. Carve your design, including those elements. This will preserve the raw natural essence of the surroundings that is ever so important in this style of décor.
Indoor Meets Outdoor
Owners try to create an alternate outdoor arrangement for an existing indoor one. Often their requests will include extending the indoor area.
One of the best solutions for this is setting an outdoor kitchen. This delegates an area to spend time with your loved ones while sharing a meal. We add the farmhouse touch to this by using contemporary kitchen materials. Wooden finished handles, a teak counter, finished with..
The Furniture
They do not make this part of the house to live in but to wind down. There should be basic furniture like a table, chairs, etc.
Farmhouse décor means wooden furniture. You could guide your client through all the options in the market. If the woodwork is in your arsenal of abilities, you could offer to build them custom furniture too. These are some must-have tools to complete such projects.
A Place To Rest
If your client has a big backyard, you can suggest a proper outdoor seating area.
A gazebo is a great option. This is a closed structure that is attached to a wall of the house or standing free. The latter requires more work and has pillars to support a roof. Wooden beams used horizontally or diagonally can incorporate farmhouse style to it. You can also suggest other options, like a deck or a patio. A deck is like a floor but constructed on the outside of the house. Patios resemble courtyard areas and can be covered or open on the top.
No matter which one of these options your client sets their heart on, almost all can potentially increase the value of their house. For a modern touch, you could suggest them a wall-mounted gazebo. Many owners love it because of its versatility.
