Designer’s Tips:
- Zone In
Guide the usability of the space by divvying up different activity zones—think dining, lounging or even a garden. - Bliss Mode
Implement a small fountain or pond to flow in the soothing sound of water. - So Layered
Incorporate a mix of materials and textures like wood, stone and metal to add visual interest. Pro tip: For added comfort, layer with rugs, throws and pillows.
