Let's Revamp - Property Styling and Decorating

It is important to understand the impact the outdoors area has on your home's value and that it can affect potential home buyers' decisions about buying your home. The assumption is - if the outside is trashy the inside could be questionable and trashy too. The outdoor area of a home is the ideal spot to create a little retreat from the world – a nook where a buyer can envision themselves spending time, relaxing having a coffee or reading a book. This means that the styling options for an outdoor area are wide open to the imagination. * Master the art of outdoor styling when selling (or decorating) your home with our Home Improvement Training online courses > https://homeimprovementtraining.com ** Outdoor styling furniture and accessories are available for rent from our Sydney Furniture Hire warehouse > https://sydneyfurniturehire.com/

Barton Hills Contemporary Curb Appeal

Native Edge Landscape

After this home was completely rebuilt in the established Barton Hills neighborhood, the landscape needed a reboot to match the new modern/contemporary house. To update the style, we replaced the cracked solid driveway with concrete ribbons and gravel that lines up with the garage. We built a retaining to hold back the sloped, problematic front yard. This leveled out a buffer space of plantings near the curb helping to create a welcoming accent for guests. We also introduced a comfortable pathway to transition through the yard into the new courtyard space, balancing out the scale of the house with the landscape.

Designed by : TOC design – Tania Scardellato Photographer: Guillaume Gorini - Studio Point de Vue Contractor; TOC design & construction inc. Landscape design today integrates a wide variety of elements to achieve functional and beautiful spaces for outdoor living. I wanted to create a functional space with a touch of design elements. It's not just about installing new pavers, its about : pattern, texture, color and form. These are the elements that can make your landscape pop. Every square inch counts. When I design exterior spaces I treat them like interior spaces. It's important to me to utilize each space as a living space.

CLS Landscape Supply

Where nature and comfort meet! Natural stone walkways and trees blend with the surroundings to give a comfortable and private setting to enjoy nature. We worked with the builder to start the landscaping before the home was built, starting with the rundle boulder wall that holds up the large driveway coming into the home. Every space of the yard was carefully thought out with in-lite LED accent lights to highlight the yard and home, rundle steps leading to the back yard, a mixture of tall mature trees and short drought-resistant shrubs, sod with irrigation, an open grassed area for the kids or dog to run, and a fully fenced back yard with gates. Here are the main features: Paving Stone Patio with Fire bowl Ground-level planting with Douglas Fir premium bark mulch Natural Stone steps Mature Tree Plantings Rundle retaining wall In-lite LED accent light Fully Automated Irrigation System

Outdoor living in Santa Luz

Jesse York, Landscape Designer

Upon purchasing their new home, the homeowners were faced with a backyard that was entirely overgrown and not fit for use. With aspirations of extending their indoor living to the outdoors, they envisioned adding a pool to cater to their family's love for swimming and their fondness for hosting gatherings. The final design transformed the space into a highly functional and fashionable outdoor oasis, featuring a pool and spa complemented by a natural rock water feature, a Trex sun deck, a cozy fire pit with ample seating, a BBQ island complete with a bar top for outdoor dining, and a spacious covered patio attached to the back of the house.

Hillside planting

BE Landscape Design

This growing family needed to maximize their outdoor space. BE Landscape Design, elevated the Master BR deck, and fire-pit, designed a multi level BBQ for easy access to both lounge and dining areas. The retaining wall was removed and replaced with a nook for a built in dining bench. The large retaining wall was painted graphite grey, and faced with sturdy 'stallion wire' to support scented and flowering vines. The hillside was planted with native and shade tolerant plants.

Get Inspired by Contemporary Gardens on Houzz

A lot of the time when you get home from a long day at work, all you want to do is wind down. Where better to do this than in your very own contemporary garden at home? If you do it right, a great garden design can send you right into holiday mode. But where to start? There’s so many styles to choose from when it comes to garden design. Whether you want to create a tropical, modern, contemporary, beach style or country garden - or something else entirely - the large garden image gallery on Houzz has got you covered. Get inspired and collect your ideas to narrow down your desired garden style and features.

How to Create a Contemporary Garden for Your Home

Depending on which style you’re going for, be sure to know what makes a contemporary garden and if it’s appropriate for your climate. You may want to consider adding a deck or other landscaping features, but the plants you choose will mostly dictate your style and what kind of ongoing maintenance is required. Don’t worry if your backyard isn’t very spacious - there are many plants that can thrive even in a small space and allow you to turn your space into a little paradise of your own, regardless of size.

Decide which plants to use

The greenery you choose is critical to your look. For example, if you’re trying to create a tropical garden palm trees and bamboo are your go-to options. Other popular options are golden cane palm trees and fern for ground cover. From there you can add some colour with bright flowers like frangipani, hibiscus or bromeliads. All these are actually quite hardy plants, so once established, your tropical garden is actually quite easy to maintain. Use this structure and apply it to your style. Research which plants you need to set your base for a contemporary garden and go from there.

Add some decor

If the plants don’t quite do it for you yet, or if you want to add some extra wow-factor, consider adding some extra features. Even if you can’t accommodate a swimming pool, hot tub or pond, you could look at smaller water features. Simple rocks can also have a great effect, while statues and gnomes will add some extra character. Don’t forget to add some furniture so you have a nice place to sit and enjoy your garden!

Need some help?

Once you know what you want your garden to look like, it may be hard to make it a reality on your own. If that is the case for you, consider consulting a professional to help you with your contemporary garden design.
