Top 5 Ways to Seamlessly Blend Indoor and Outdoor Living Spaces

If you want to know how to decorate a bathroom in a way which gives the illusion of space, there’s a blog for that. If you’re looking for advice on the most efficient kitchen layouts, you’ll find a thousand ‘how to’ guides online. In fact, no matter what your interior decorating dilemma, there’s probably a hundred different homeowners, with a hundred different solutions.

Yet, the same can’t be said when it comes to the transition between indoor and outdoor living spaces. This is something that lots of homeowners still struggle with, primarily because they’re not always sure what it is they’re trying to do. So, this week we’re going to show you how and why it is important to embrace your yard and bring the outdoors inside.

Bringing Indoor and Outdoor Spaces Together

Twenty years ago, the recommended way to unite indoor and outdoor living spaces was with a costly, sometimes unsightly, extension or conservatory. These days, however, clever designs and innovative remodeling tricks are being used to create a seamless blend between homes and gardens. This is because nurturing a strong connection between indoors and outdoors makes homes feel light, expansive, and inspiring.

With features like our custom-made outdoor blinds, it becomes easy to usher in natural daylight and open up interior spaces to the energy and majesty of the local environment. It’s something that we should all be interested in because Australia is one of the most biologically diverse countries on the planet. Imagine being able to wake up, every morning, and shake off the remnants of sleep with a song from the birds or the crickets.

HINTS AND TIPS FOR CREATING A SEAMLESS TRANSITION

Protect Your Deck

For a lot of homeowners, patios and decks have to fit a fairly narrow set of specifications. However, the popularity of minimalistic, open decks has soared in recent years. These modern designs don’t even have to be raised; they can be built right into the grass, so that they feel like a part of the lounge or dining room. If you add a roof, you can even put a sofa out there.

Our stylish and flexible outdoor blinds can be custom made to fit any need. Plus, they come in a wide variety of styles and colours, so you’re guaranteed to find a perfect match for your home. Unlike traditional window blinds, our bespoke blinds can be used to create a semi-permanent outdoor living space that is sturdy, comfortable, and sheltered from the elements.

Increase Your Visibility

With floor to ceiling doors, homeowners have more control over how they use their gardens. If you install wide sliding doors, you can choose when to let your outside in. For a little bit of natural peace and serenity, all you have to do is draw back the glass and enjoy the garden either from a deck or an indoor lounge. When you want to replace the divide between the two spaces, just shut the doors and close the curtains.

Create a Bathroom Oasis

You don’t have to have a lot of cash or a sprawling garden to create an open plan, semi-outdoor bathroom, a la Richard Branson. In fact, this is a great way to use up those awkward corners and strips of green that tend to face onto bathrooms. If you replace the wall with a sliding door and plant bamboo for privacy, you’ve got a beautiful, leafy bathing space.

Dare to Lose a Wall

One of the simplest ways to blend indoor and outdoor spaces is to, essentially, remove the dividers between them. This is an idea that is best suited to warm climates, so it’s ideal for Australian homeowners. You will need the help of a skilled construction company, however, because replacing an entire wall with glass (either sliding doors or windows) is no easy feat.

How to Do Home Renovations the Right Way

If you’re considering any kind of home renovation, it’s important to have the right support and to be working towards clear goals. You’d be surprised at how many construction projects go awry because they’re not following a complete plan. The best piece of advice that we can give you is to take your time; ‘rushed’ and ‘remarkable’ are two words that rarely go together.
