Avoiding your backyard should feel like a breath of fresh air, not the list of dos. Do not let the walk-out walkway or tired turf subotes to your sanctuary. Is there a habit to see small items? You are not alone.
So we turned to the designers and asked them to exclude the timid eyes that ruin the dreamer external location. Here, professionals revealed seven courtyard design sins that give them “ick” – and what to choose instead of a stylish outdoor retreat.

Claudia Martin Design founder Claudia Martin explains how, although she loves pillows and throw, is not the biggest fan of outdoor rugs.
“I will define a place with a change in material or thoughtful landscaping,” Martin says.
So, what is the issue with external rugs? For Martin, they are dirt magnets. Even if you remove them for winter and rose them regularly, an external rug is often a losing fighting look fresh.
PVC versions can catch better against dirt, but they come with their own losses.
She says, “They look more like flyway tars than high-end floor coverings. “” They are very beautiful for a photo shoot – but not designed for real life. ”

Matching set

The days of leaving a matching sofa set in their living room have gone for a long time – and the same goes to your outer location. Design professionals agree: a uniform furniture set simply do not cut it, indoors or outside.
Martin recommends people to think about their courtyard spaces as an indoor blank space, which means that there is no matching food or lounge and table set.
Laura Umanski, the founder of Laura You Design Collective, is on the same page.
“It is definitely attractive to buy a matching finish or a full courtyard set in color, but the most compelling outdoor location feels layered and curate, not as they come out of a catalog,” says Umanski.
Both professionals recommended mixing materials such as teak, stone and powder-coated metal to add interest and timelessness to their outer location.

A Ricky lawn chair is hardly invited to sit and stay for a while – and it does not give your backyard style any favor, either. Betti Lu Philips, the founder of interiors by BLP, says that anything tired does not dismiss a location faster than neglected outdoor furniture.
“It just feels a little unhappy with the entire region,” she says.
Like indoor furniture, think of some outdoor pieces – Lowe or wooden design – can be revived with the elbow’s grease and TLC. But those broken lattice-stapled loungers? As long as you are about to strap them again, they are probably the best for scrap heip.
To avoid rust and peeling heart pain, Philips recommend investing in durable, high quality materials such as polyboard powder-coated steel and high-gradient polyethylene furniture.

If you are not in trouble for bending for the perennials that have created year-on-year, then try to fill your planters with boxwood-cleaning and class stylish, they will look good even after impressing winter flaws.
Gritti grills

The remains of last year’s fourth cookout of July have still covered a grill that is not going to reveal the best features of your courtyard, who says Philips, who accepts who accepts Group outdoor grille Stop it feeling cold.
For example, an old old hypocris sitting in the driveway is not welcome at all, nor is there a sputter, four-second grill. She says that a dirty grill is also obliged to raise concerns with guests, which may be surprised whether their food has been marinated in Greece and Grim.
Good news? Hibachi grills that have seen better summer are light and easy to get out of sight. For the underlying models, however, the cleanup is less passionate. However, maintaining your grill-clining supply within the arms access-but can make them completely easier instead of indexing them in the garage.
