Let’s fast-forward a few months and imagine that it’s springtime in our fair city. You’ve survived another Calgary winter and you are ready for some warmer temperatures! You dream of lounging by a pool and a beautiful sunny afternoon, sipping a fruity drink topped with a miniature umbrella…
Reality check! Your yard is looking a little worse for the wear after a chilly winter. There may be some overgrown weeds; your flower beds may have seen better days and your out-dated patio furniture may be covered in dust and dirt. Have no fear! With some custom landscaping from Ananda you can transform your outdoor living space into a sleek escape, and turn that tropical dream into a reality!
1. Stay sun-safe with a stylish shade solution such as a gazebo or awning over your deck.
2. Create a comfortable lounging area with cabanas or loungers. There are many options for outdoor furniture than mimic the style and feel of an indoor space but have all-weather fabric. You may choose neutral colours or more colourful tones that match flowers or fauna in your yard.
3. A swimming pool would be lovely, but other water features can just as easily create that tropical ambiance. A swim spa, hot tub or pondless waterfall provides great visual appeal and a soothing background noise. The way the sun bounces off the waters’ surface will instantly transport you to another place.
4. Soft lighting such as candlelight or night lighting will create a relaxing ambiance that will complete the overall look and feel of your yard. Try placing small votive candles in glass containers and scattering them around, or find some beautiful paper lanterns. With the warmer summer nights why not maximize the time you can spend in your beautiful retreat?
