How to optimize outdoor spaces: unleash your imagination

If space is generous and your goal is to create a harmonious environment that serves as an extension of the indoor space, the solutions are countless. To optimize outdoor areas, you need to unleash your imagination, perhaps stimulated by some advice that can serve as a “starter.” If the outdoor space is completely uncovered, you must first create shaded areas; whether it’s a garden umbrella or a gazebo, a covered area will allow you to make the most of your new living space. A beautiful extendable table, comfortable chairs, a small sofa, and why not, an outdoor kitchen.

Different layout, same sustainability

In creating a harmonious environment that reflects your tastes and lifestyle, do not give up on sustainability. There are now countless solutions that allow you to pay attention to nature, so predominant in this season. Prefer sustainable and recycled materials, choose your lighting wisely, place plants that require little water.

Optimizing outdoor spaces in an eco-friendly way: our suggestions

Choose flooring, fences, tools, furniture, and decorations made with recycled materials, easily recyclable or from sustainable sources. Complete with native plants in your area, to reduce the need for water and chemicals and promote local biodiversity. For the same reason, install rainwater collection systems and use drip or sub-irrigation techniques. Start a composting system to reduce organic waste and produce natural fertilizer for your garden. Reduce the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers, opting for natural methods and less harmful to the environment. Also, reduce lawn mowing and let some areas grow naturally to promote biodiversity and reduce water and fuel consumption. Finally, use renewable energy as much as possible.

A new life for your terrace as well

If instead you are thinking of revaluing your terrace, we suggest using the space to create a vertical or horizontal garden that contributes to air purification and cooling of the surrounding environment. Always use ecological and biodegradable products for plant care and terrace cleaning. And finally, install solar panels to power lights or equipment, thus reducing energy consumption.

The stainless steel outdoor kitchen: the queen of summer hearth

As we have seen in the previous chapter, optimizing outdoor spaces involves all the elements of garden furniture. Know, however, that no matter how well you organize everything, you will never find true satisfaction in a fully functional and welcoming environment until you place an outdoor kitchen in your outdoor space. Adding a stainless steel kitchen outside means avoiding having to constantly go in and out of your house to fetch pots, dishes, cutlery, and pantry products.
