AtHomes By Dickerson, we believe that paradise is leaning back in a cozy chair with a cold drink on a sunny day. That’s why we build our spacious, energy-efficient homes with stylish outdoor living areas that provide the open space you need to spread out, get comfortable, and let the sunshine wash over you.

No matter how you love to utilize outdoor spaces, from your screened-in porch and backyard to your light-filled sunroom, there are so many ways to maximize and decorate them to your heart’s content. Take a look at a few fun ideas to turn your peaceful, private outdoor area into an oasis:

Outdoor Design Ideas 

Throw Some Shade:Add a little flair (and much-appreciated shade) with a wide, sleek umbrella. If you love to throw dinner parties, choose an umbrella with LED lighting to create a warm, stylish glow during any soiree. 

Ready, Set, Grow:Give pops of color and life to your space with your favorite bright plants or flowers grown in trendy planters. In your container garden, play around with different planter designs and flower arrangements.

Get Campy:Small, compact, and easy to use, a fire pit adds a nostalgic spark to your outdoor area. Rearrange your furniture around a fire pit for cozy nights under the stars (and s’mores with your kids, of course).

Let There Be Light:There are few things as comforting as the sight of string lights against a clear night sky. There are so many fun and stylish ways to illuminate your outdoor area into something magical! 

Accent Piece:A garden accent table adds a touch of chicness without overwhelming the other accessories. Whatever color or design floats your boat, your drinks are sure to look cool resting on it.

Dinner Al Fresco:With an option to add a beautiful outdoor kitchen, you can finally enjoy your meals under the stars! Spacious enough for everyone, you and your family will love cooking and eating together outside.

Summer Love Letter:As guests come and go for gatherings outside, encourage them to write a message! Fun for your kids and their friends, a blackboard and chalk give your space a sweet, personal touch.

Relaxation Retreat:Want your own private space to meditate or practice yoga? Incorporate calming plants, wireless speakers, candles, a stylish rug, etc., and you finally have the luxurious retreat you deserve.

Sometimes, fresh air and sunshine are exactly what you need. So don’t wait to experience paradise in your own private outdoor oasis! For more information about our beautiful new homes throughout North and South Carolina, please contact us at919-205-3404. We can’t wait to get started!
