Outdoor lounge areas are a wonderful addition to any garden, providing your own private area to unwind, relax, and enjoy your garden. Lounge areas can be designed to suit your lifestyle, perhaps a private terrace to enjoy a morning coffee, a teenager’s hangout spot, or a space for entertaining friends and family.
Oakleigh Manor can design your outdoor lounge area to your exact requirements and style, ensuring you can make the most out of your outdoor space. There are many important aspects that create the perfect outdoor lounge area.
Positioning your outdoor lounge in an area with wide open views is a great choice, or perhaps a sunken lounge area to create a more private surrounding, sheltered from the elements. Take into consideration the position of the sun throughout the day. Perfectly positioning the space can create a relaxing haven.
Incorporating outdoor heating, such as an outdoor fireplace, is an excellent addition to a lounge area, providing warmth on chilly evenings and an extra visual element to the area. A fireplace or firepit can create a homely and cosy atmosphere and help to link the interior and exterior of your home. Some outdoor heating options could include:
Surrounding your lounge area with scented planting can create a relaxing, fragrant environment to help switch off and completely wind down, adding a different sensory ingredient beyond visual. Planting flowering plants with detail that are only noticed when you take the time and have the opportunity to sit and observe your surroundings. Choices of planting could include:
Incorporating a timber structure around your longue area can add a whole other dimension to the space. A timber structure can help to separate different areas of the garden, frame borrowed views, add height, and help to provide a shaded or sheltered area for relaxing as well as giving your garden the ‘wow factor’.
Incorporating a water feature in your outdoor lounge area be an idyllic addition with the tranquil, relaxing sound of the running water adding another sensory ingredient to help unwind and relax. The sound of running water can also disguise those distant sounds of nearby traffic and transport you into another world, where your garden becomes your oasis. By simply introducing water to an outdoor space you can believe you are anywhere in the world of water.
