Creative Outdoor Spaces and Design Ideas

via

I’m so ready to get started on several outdoor projects this spring. My outdoor project “wish list” is getting longer and longer. The more time I spend on my Pinterest Boards, researching creative outdoor spaces and solutions for my backyard/patio, the longer my list gets. I’m sure you guys who also dream on Pinterest can relate.

I can’t do all of these projects but I sure can share them with you guys. Maybe one of these ideas is the perfect creative outdoor solution for you.

Patios and Pergolas

If you’re looking for some

type of creative pergola, seating wall and patio combination, this is a fantastic tutorial from Hansen Family Chaos:

Patio area created with gravel and fire pit.

Here is a similar layout with gravel and a fire pit from Style Me Pretty.

Another inexpensive and creative way to make an outdoor patio is using large pavers and gravel:

Outdoor Kitchen and Bars

High up on my list this spring/summer is to find a way to build and incorporate an outdoor kitchen and bar area. Below are some of my favorite kitchen designs.

So many creative outdoor spaces and design ideas. I have to make a final design decision in the next couple of weeks on what we want to tackle. Do you have any big spring outdoor projects in your plans? I would love to know!

By the way, if you’re planning on painting any of your outdoor furniture and accessories, I have a detailed post here on the best paints to use if you’re interested.

Thanks for stopping by!

Cheers!
