Dark Patio to Artistic Hideaway
In a stunning transformation, a once dark and barely functional patio has evolved into an artistic hideaway. The homeowners, envisioning modernity, crafted a custom deck piece by piece to optimize the limited space. A paver patio was added for al fresco entertaining, and local artists contributed screens framing the space. The addition of outdoor lights brings a captivating twilight sparkle, creating a magazine-worthy patio retreat.
Inviting, Rich, Colorful Sanctuary
A previously vast and unadorned condo patio became an inviting sanctuary with an artistic and elegant touch. Seamlessly extending the indoor design, the outdoor space boasts a full dining area and a cozy lounge, inspired by the homeowner’s childhood in Taiwan. The transformation is a testament to the personalization of outdoor spaces, turning a blank canvas into a vibrant, comfortable retreat.
Italian-Inspired Entertaining Space
Drawing inspiration from Italy, a couple revamped their functional yet bland outdoor patio into a multifunctional haven. Divided into distinct zones for lounging, dining, cooking, and bartending, the design exudes warmth and texture reminiscent of sun-soaked afternoons. Complete with a projector and a pizza oven, this Italian-inspired space transforms ordinary evenings into delightful home experiences.
Teeny Tiny Nook for Reading
In a remarkable makeover of a minuscule 200-square-foot apartment balcony, a custom design brought innovation to limited space. Collaborating with a local woodworker, the dweller created a space-efficient setting for three people. The addition of a bench, small stool, and a nesting table, all on casters, turns the tiny balcony into a comfortable gathering spot. Storage integration, manicured flower boxes, and fairy lights complete the cozy reading nook.
Day to Night Lounge Space
Starting with faux grass as the foundation, this balcony makeover focused on maximizing limited square footage. Leveraging a space planning app, homeowners introduced comfortable lounge furniture and a multitasking storage bench that doubles as a coffee table. A wooden trellis wall with decorative neon lights steals the show as the sun sets, transforming the space into a versatile day-to-night lounge.
Plant-Filled, Modern Refresh
Embracing a “plants make the space” philosophy, a condo dweller revamped her small balcony. Replacing old outdoor chairs with sleek Design Within Reach pieces, adding a patio console table as a plant stand, and incorporating modern textiles, including throw pillows and a patterned rug, breathed new life into the balcony. Abundant greenery turns the space into a warm and welcoming outdoor retreat.
No-Water Needed Plant Alternative
A balcony with calming shades of blue, gray, and green underwent a creative makeover. Recognizing the balcony’s limitations for live plants, the transformation involved painting the wall in a tropical salmon hue. The addition of hand-painted lush banana leaves in blue and green brought vibrance to the space, achieving #plantgoals without the need for watering.
