Small outdoor space design

Have you ever heard people say that they never use their balcony or small outdoor space? Have you ever noticed that same space is usually not furnished? People need a place to sit! Furnishing outdoor spaces creates another whole room in your home. 

Consider these tricks:

1. Bright Colors

Using bright colors outside makes interior spaces feel bigger because you draw the eye outside so you can see another room beyond the one you're in.

2. Change flooring material

Creating different zones makes your outdoor space feel like several outdoor spaces. There are so many great options of outdoor rugs. Try using an outdoor rug to create the feeling of a living room. Check out the great options at NuLoom http://www.nuloom.com/product.html

3. Lighting

Use different layers of lights. Use outdoor spotlights in combination with candles and plant lights. Using lights in different locations draws your eye around the space and gives it interest.
