Beat the Winter Blues by Dreaming Up Your Spring Outdoor Space

Ah, January — the month of resolutions, gym memberships that collect dust, and an overwhelming amount of gray skies. If you’re like most people, you’re probably wrapped in a blanket, questioning why you don’t live even farther south.

But what if we told you there’s a way to kick the winter doldrums to the curb? Hint: it doesn’t involve a trip to the tropics (though we’re not against that idea). It’s time to start planning your spring and summer outdoor living space!

Sure, it might feel a little odd to think about sun-soaked patios and outdoor lounges when your fingers are still thawing from scraping ice off the windshield. But planning now means you’ll be ready when you want to enjoy the weather, instead of panic-buying flimsy outdoor furniture in May. Plus, envisioning your dream outdoor space is a lot more fun than scrolling social media for the 47th time today.

Start with a vision. Do you want a cozy fire pit nook where marshmallows meet their gooey destiny? Or maybe a beautiful outdoor kitchen that says, “Yes, I’m classy, and yes, I’m always grilling?”

Whatever your vibe, now’s the time to think through it. Browse magazines, Pinterest, or just walk around the neighborhood like an outdoor design paparazzo. Don’t forget to give us a call to help guide you in your thought process! Jot down what you love, what you’d rather avoid, and what’s realistic for your space (because, let’s be honest, that oversized infinity pool might not fit in your backyard or the budget).

Speaking of budget, think about that as well. Our designers can plan something for $10K or $10M so it’s VERY helpful for us to have a target goal as we are planning the project. We can help you refine your ideas and turn that Pinterest board into a real-life backyard paradise.

Our team’s expertise means you’ll avoid common pitfalls — like understanding city regulations, plants that do well in your environment, and materials that are available to source. So, don’t let winter get you down. Grab some hot cocoa, a notepad, and let your imagination run wild.

Spring will be here before you know it, and this time, you’ll be ready to lounge in style.
