Create Your Dream Outdoor Oasis with Renaissance Remodeling
Picture this: You’re sitting outside on your patio in your backyard. The patio is well-lit and warm as summer turns to fall. Your favorite drink in hand, you’re laughing with your neighbors who are more often than not over because your backyard oasis is better than theirs. With Renaissance Remodeling’s expertise in outdoor remodeling, that dream can become a reality.
Designing Your Outdoor Oasis
Creating an outdoor oasis doesn’t have to be complicated, just take it step by step. First, you need to assess your current outdoor space and decide on a few elements that would turn your plain backyard into your ideal outdoor space.
Patios and Decks
Consider an upgrade if your patio isn’t what you want it to be whether it’s cracked, uneven, or you’re just looking to increase the value of your home. The choices are almost endless. You can choose from a patio or a deck, concrete or wood, and various color options to make your space uniquely yours.
Here are some options to get you started:
- Concrete Patio or Deck
- Brick Patio
- Pavement Patio
- Wood Deck
- Composite Deck
Renaissance Remodeling is your trusted partner when it comes to outdoor living spaces. If you can’t decide on the perfect material for your deck or patio, our experts are happy to make suggestions that fit your style and budget.
Lighting
It is not ideal to have a patio you can only use during the day. Luckily, there are plenty of lighting options to choose from. String Lights can be wrapped around tree trunks, deck railings, or trellises to enhance any space. You can even switch out the bulbs to fit your space whether you’re going for a vintage feel or modern flair.
Wall lights don’t have to be the boring porch lights your parents had. Upgrade to wall-mounted lanterns, sconces, or barn lights. And don’t forget that you can pick the material to fit your style. Outdoor chandeliers can bring any theme to life. Choose from a rustic lantern that takes you back in time, a charming farmhouse fixture, or a bold and modern look.
Don’t forget about the lighting around your landscaping as well. Path lights lining your paving stones not only show off your garden, they also add a layer of safety to your outdoor space. Floodlights and spotlights are also great options for lighting a larger area.
For a decorative touch, consider a fire pit, candles, or torches.
The experts at Renaissance Remodeling will work with electricians to make sure your lighting setup is seamless.
Landscaping
Consider different natural elements such as flower beds, shrubbery, and trees to bring the space to life. Some fun ideas include:
- A lush garden featuring colorful flowers and plants with a walking path to guide guests through the beautiful landscape.
- Gravel or stone instead of grass for easier maintenance.
- A trellis or gondola with climbing vines or ivy adds a touch of nature to a manmade structure.
- Add rock features or half-walls to separate the different areas of your yard and create movement.
- Create a play area for kids with a manicured lawn, toys, and games.
- Add a greenhouse and grow your own fruits and veggies year-round.
- Add a chicken coop for fresh eggs.
Hardscaping
Incorporating functional elements like hardscaping into the landscaping design of your outdoor oasis makes the space usable as well as serene (or playful, rustic, or whatever theme you choose).
Base your hardscaping on the style and feel of your home for a consistent look. If your house has a Spanish architecture feel, brown or tan paving stones might compliment it nicely. If your house is made of brick, add some classic brick columns to your patio or deck to bring the whole look together.
Don’t forget to take the weather into consideration. One of the great things about living in Boise is the fact that we get all four seasons. But that also means planning for sun, rain, snow, and everything in between.
Make your outdoor oasis multifunctional by adding a fireplace to extend your living area, adding play structures for kids, or a zen garden for relaxation. If you really want to take your outdoor living area to new heights, in addition to the basics, you could consider adding water features, an outdoor kitchen, or concrete walls.
In addition to building the manmade structures, Renaissance Remodeling will work with landscape and hardscape companies to bring your vision to life and create a stress-free experience for you.
