Outdoor Decor to Transform Your Backyard

by Leave a Comment

Is it time to revamp your home’s outdoor living situation? Whether you need to stage the backyard for prospective buyers or simply replace outdoor furniture that’s seen one too many seasons, there are plenty of decor options for breathing new life into your backyard. Here are a few ideas to get you well on your way to a stunning living area in the open air:

Suspended Chairs

If you have a veranda or covered terrace, suspended chairs that hang from the ceiling are far from ordinary patio furniture and will add a touch of flair. Just imagine curling up with a good book and gently swaying in the breeze all day long during the spring.

Luxurious Daybeds

When all you want to do is lie out in the sun and laze the day away, nothing beats a daybed in your backyard. Put it by the pool, next to the firepit, or under the shade of a tree, because wherever it goes, you’re guaranteed to enjoy the pinnacle of leisure time.

Outdoor Bar Cart

Who wants to run all the way to the kitchen to fix a drink when the sun starts to set? A bar cart is a great solution for effortlessly serving refreshments al fresco during backyard parties. You can stock it up with juice for the kids or keep all the essential accouterments for mixing your favorite cocktail at the end of the day.

Spacious Sectionals

For those who need ample seating to accommodate friends and family, a sectional is a perfect way to bring indoor comforts into your backyard. A must-have item for outdoor entertaining, everyone can gather around and enjoy the fresh air while spending time together.

Mesmerizing Lanterns

After the sun goes down, you can set the mood with chic lanterns that provide a warm glow. Ideal for intimate dinner parties or quiet evenings on the terrace, the flickering flame of a gas lantern is a sophisticated and stylish lighting solution that’s sure to make your backyard a memorable setting.

Set Your Luxury Kitchen Apart With These Features

by Leave a Comment

It’s no secret that the luxury kitchen ranks highly among homeowners. Often described as the heart of the home, this is where many families gather together, share the day’s adventures, and make lasting memories.

Here are a few key features that’ll enhance your humble kitchen, as well as impress potential buyers if you later decide to sell your house:

Two Ovens

In luxury kitchens, two ovens are fast becoming the norm. They provide you with flexibility and functionality, especially when making a multi-course meal for large groups. When you’re baking fish in one oven and cake for dessert in the other, you’ll be sure to appreciate having a well-equipped cooking space. Short on space? Microwaves now serve dual purposes such as both a microwave oven and conventional oven or a microwave oven and steamer oven combination.

Pot Filler

For those who don’t particularly enjoy lugging a pot full of water from the sink to the stovetop, a pot filler is the ultimate convenience. Serious chefs love having a faucet-mounted right above the stove because it lets you skip the heavy lifting and get right down to cooking. Reach to the faucet seem like a hazard? Try mounting the faucet just to the side of the stove burners.

Professional-Grade Range

Whether you’re making family breakfast or hosting fabulous dinner parties, a professional-grade range is a kitchen essential. Having six to eight burners is sure to come in handy when you’re whipping up elaborate meals, and the aesthetic of a commercial-style cooktop will let everyone know your kitchen means serious business.

Dishwasher Drawers

Rather than having one large dishwasher, two dishwasher drawers give you the ability to clean smaller loads without sacrificing space. When you only have a few dishes to clean, running a single drawer is an efficient way to save water and energy–plus, you won’t have to bend over and strain your back when loading it!

Smart Appliances

Of course, technology in the kitchen is becoming increasingly desired. Millennial buyers, in particular, value having appliances they can control through their smartphones or by giving voice commands to a virtual assistant. Smart ovens, touchless faucets, and refrigerators that notify you when ingredients are about to go bad are the luxury kitchen’s new normal.
