Create Your Own Calming Oasis
If you are anything like me, you spend all winter dreaming of summer. (I think all Canadians do!)
I enjoy quiet mornings spent sipping coffee while the rest of the house sleeps, watching the mist rise lazily from the warming ground.
I love weekends spent curled up in the shade on the back deck reading, looking up from the pages to watch a fuzzy bumblebee alight from flower to flower.
I savour and enjoy the sweet relief of the evening breeze, sipping chilled cocktails after dinner by the glow of citronella candles.
But, most of all, what I look forward to about summer is being outdoors. That’s why my outdoor space is so important.
I always think of my back deck and front porch as extensions of my home – true outdoor living spaces. Every year I pick up a new little something to add to my outdoor collection: an interesting little statue, a cool new candleholder, or perhaps a couple of new pillows or throws.
I love bringing my indoor plants outside to enjoy some of the summer sunshine and humidity.
(Indoor plants that love being outside in the summertime include: Sanseveria, Dracena, Monstera, and Ficus!)
Turning your outdoor space into a calming oasis is actually quite simple!
- Outdoor fountains add the soothing sound of gently running water. (There is a reason that spas often play water sounds!) Small fountains are perfect for decks, and larger fountains fit well within a garden space.
- Gently flickering candles create a warm and inviting glow and perfume the air with a light scent.
- Beautiful art in organic materials (metal, wood, stone) adds interest and elegance.
- Small details like pretty napkins and candleholders help your outdoor space feel like an effortless extension of your home.
