Make Your Backyard More Inviting

Your backyard space is the perfect place for a party, barbecue or a gathering for friends and family. It should be the perfect place to relax and unwind during the warmer months. Spending time in your outdoor space allows you to enjoy all that nature has to offer without having to leave the comfort of home. While Colorado Springs is a great place to enjoy the great outdoors, you can enjoy some of the beautiful outdoors right outside your home. The Platinum Group, REALTORS has 5 tips to help make your Colorado Springs home's backyard a little bit more inviting.

1. Comfortable Seating

Adding patio furniture is a great way to make your backyard a place you want to spend time in. While any seating could do, if the seating is comfortable, you're more likely to kick back and spend more time in your outdoor space. Whether it's a lounger by a pool or a hammock under a tree, comfortable outdoor furniture will allow you to be able to enjoy time in your backyard.

2. Add Color with Blooms

A great way to add color to the outdoor space is with landscaping. Colorful landscaping can bring in a cheerful tone to your backyard. Plants of various sizes, types and color can complement each other and draw people's eyes to different areas of the backyard. A simple border, which can be made of decorative stones or rocks, can add a nice finishing touch to your outdoor space.

3. Spruce Up The Patio or Deck

Instead of a regular concrete slab for your patio, try sprucing it up by adding texture and warmth by using pavers like flagstone. Pavers add depth and dimension and can even enhance the look of furniture and other items on your patio. Whether it's a patio or a deck, you want to create a space that invites you to enjoy a private oasis in your own backyard.

4. Add Lighting

With the right placement, outdoor lighting can allow you and your guests to enjoy the outdoor space for as long as you desire. You want to place lights in the areas of the yard that is going to be used during the evening. In addition, you'll also want to place lights along any pathways that might be used to make it easier to navigate.

5. Use The Right Landscaping

Does your Colorado Springs home have a beautiful mountain view? Do you need a little bit more privacy? The right landscaping can transform your outdoor space. If your backyard has a gorgeous view, you want the landscaping to blend into the neighboring view and landscape instead of competing with it. If you want more privacy, think about adding more trees or a privacy fence. However, just like with having a view, you want the landscaping to blend nicely into your backyard space.

During the summer months, backyards are an area that potential buyers pay close attention too. If you're thinking about placing your home in Colorado Springs on the market. It's a good idea to pay some extra attention to the outdoor living space. When it comes time to sell your Colorado Springs home, contact The Platinum Group, REALTORS.
