Adding Beautiful Shady Outdoor Spaces To Your Home

For most of the year, we can spend time in our yards enjoying our property without much thought of the heat from the sun. But when spring ushers in summer, we are left with waiting until dusk to venture out in our outdoor spaces. Whether you enjoy large family dinners on your patio or spending quiet time relaxing by yourself with a good book, adding shady spaces to your yard will bring your countless hours of of joy.
A Romantic Gazebo
Once used for gatherings on large estate properties, gazebos have become a more mainstream sight among the landscape of personal homes. Gazebos come in all shapes and sizes, and are being manufactured in a variety of materials from wood to resin. Adding a gazebo to your yard can give you a point to gather with friends, have afternoon tea, or to enjoy your favorite novel.
Shade Screens
Shade screens made out of waterproof materials have become popular sun shielding additions to yards. These, typically triangular in shape, screens can be tied up to three points to provide a bit of shade in the sunniest of places. Usually used in groupings to provide the best shade, these screens offer decorative flare in vibrant colors that add to the beauty of any landscape.
Pergolas
Often seen in the vast gardens of the European countryside, pergolas have long been built to enhance the beauty of the setting they are placed in. Trailing with blooming vines or thick foliage, these structures offer shade worthy of the greatest of fairy tales. Pergolas can be build to any size, and can cover small or large portions of your landscape.
Awnings
Awnings are a perfect choice for home entertaining outdoors as they attach directly to your home. Imagine being able to finally use the beautiful deck built for entertaining at any point of the day with you ability to create shade. Retractable awnings afford homeowners the ability to have sun, or stars, when wanted, and shade from the heat when desired. These awnings are simple to use and come in a variety of colors to increase your home’s curb appeal.
Being Shady
Whatever style of shade fits your individual needs, these structures make beautiful additions to any home and property. Your ability to enjoy time outside of your home is just as important as it is indoors. Adding shade will give you the opportunity to create more memories in your outdoor spaces.
