nce the structural elements and hardscape features of your outdoor living space are in place, it’s time to turn attention to the details that really bring the area to life.

Vibrant textiles like cushions, pillows and rugs can all soften the look of a space while adding colorful charm, but another effective place where you can introduce plenty of character is the landscaping.

Often, homeowners treat the landscape and the architectural components of an outdoor living space as distinct design elements. Making the landscape seamlessly integrate into the area not only transforms the way the space looks, it enhances the outdoor ambiance.

Keep Prying Eyes Out

When it comes to privacy, there is also a multitude of options.

Ornamental grasses come in a surprising array of colors and looks, and many grow high enough to shield a private lounge or eating area. Alternatively, you could consider a lush climbing vine paired with a trellis. Dwarf trees and shrubs also lend privacy when planted in close proximity. Another stylish option is to put oversized planters into play. Fill them with the vegetation of your choice for an instant eye block topped with live plants. For an outdoor kitchen, make these vessels do doubleduty by making them the basis for your herb garden.

Go Low Maintenance

If you’re leery of adding too much work with plants that need frequent care and attention, there are several options that require little effort. Succulents are a great way to add texture, interest and color to a planter or table-top pot. For more color, opt for low-maintenance perennials that require little water. After your initial planting and fertilizing, you’ll need to water during dry spells in the summer, but for the most part, they’ll require little extra attention through the year until it’s time to trim them back for winter. &RQVXOW ZLWK H[SHUWV DW \RXU ORFDO QXUVHU\ RU JDUGHQ FHQWHU IRU advice on the trees and plants that work best in your climate ]RQH DQG ¿QG PRUH WLSV IRU FUHDWLQJ \RXU LGHDO RXWGRRU OLYLQJ space at eLivingToday.com.

Enhance Your Outdoor Living Space

o matter the season or the region, outdoor living is more popular than ever, as homeowners look to “bring the indoors out� and create spaces that are true extensions of the home. The newest designs in outdoor living spaces do not simply feature the look of the indoors, but the functionality as well.

Regardless of the size of your deck – or budget – these simple tips from the experts at Trex can add interior function to your outdoor oasis:

From storing seat cushions to keeping drinks cold, today’s outdoor kitchen accessories can make outdoor spaces look as put-together as the rest of the home. Among the newest advancements is the Trex Outdoor Kitchens collection, which features outdoor cabinetry and functional elements such as trash bins, ice chests and storage drawers that eliminate the need for back-and-forth trips inside the home.

Lighting systems that incorporate deck lighting and other exterior lighting work together to create ambiance that FDQ EH DGMXVWHG IRU DQ\ VHWWLQJ %\ FKRRVLQJ ZKLFK RXWGRRU elements to highlight, it’s easy to change the look of an outdoor living space without moving any furniture.

Material Matters

Just because people are spending more time on their decks doesn’t mean they’re willing to put in extra hours for maintenance. Wood alternatives, particularly woodplastic composites, are especially popular due to their lowmaintenance features. Unlike wood, composite decking such as Trex Transcend resists fading, staining, scratching and mold – and won’t rot, warp, crack or splinter. No sanding, staining or painting is required, and food and drink spills wash off easily with soap and water. The latest generation of composite decking also features wood-grain patterns and rich, saturated colors that look and feel more natural than ever before.

5 Common Painting Mistakes That Homeowners Make Home Repair Articles Want to paint your home? Get expert advice on how to avoid common painting mistakes such as neglecting the environment and not preparing the surface for painting. Smart people learn from their mistakes. But, the real sharp ones learn from the mistakes of others. If you want to finish a task successfully, it is important to know the common mistakes that others commit while undertaking the same task. If you learn from follies of other people, you will avoid mistakes of your own. The same life-lesson is extremely important when it comes to painting your home. If your dream is to paint your home with beautiful colors, you have to be cautious. Avoid common painting mistakes that have the potential to turn your home into a disaster. Here are a few of the common painting mistakes that homeowners commit while painting their home: Time and money, both fly. So, it is important that you take good care of them. Before starting your painting project, take a few minutes out of your schedule to calculate your budget. Here are a few things that require your attention while creating a full-proof budget: Total amount of money that you can spend on the painting project. Total number of rooms that you can afford to paint after ascertaining the expenses. Approximate number of days to complete the project. Usually, homeowners become eager to finish the painting project without considering their budget. But, you should calculate the expenses and then decide whether you are ready for it.

If you have a limited budget, it is important that you don’t paint all the rooms at once. If you try to accommodate painting the entire home on a limited budget, you will have no choice but to opt for low-quality products. It is important to avoid low-quality products because of the following reasons: 1. Difficulty in application.

2. Inability to provide adequate adhesion.

3. Lack of protection against harsh weather.

4. Non-durability is another reason to avoid low-quality products.

5. Inability to give you the desired result.

So, choose high-quality painting products that last long and help you save money in the long term.

Your home is not your only treasure. The furniture and fixtures of your home are equally important. If your disregard them, you will have to spend a fortune on repairing or replacing them. So, you must do the following things before painting your home: Move the furniture to protect it from paint. You can place your furniture in the middle of the room before painting the walls and doors. Cover the furniture and floor by using plastic sheets. You can tape the corners for extra protection against paint splatters.

Remove decorations and art frames from the room.

Cover lighting fixtures to ensure that you do not ruin them.

Fail to prepare; and prepare to fail is a wise saying. You must keep it in mind while painting your home. If you do not prepare the surface for painting, you can be assured of a disastrous painting job. So, it is important to prepare the surface for painting by doing the following things: Cleaning the surface and removing dust, debris, mildew, etc. Power cleaning the surface with a pressure washer, if required. Scrutinizing the surface for holes, cracks and any other type of damage. Repairing the damages by filling the holes and caulking the minor cracks.

Sanding the surface and priming it. Using quality paints to finish the painting job.

You should not neglect the weather conditions while painting the exterior of your home. If you ignore the environment, the fresh coat of paint will be ruined and the painting project will not meet its deadline. Here are a few guidelines for exterior home painting: Paints dry quicker in direct sunlight or extremely hot weather. Paints dry faster in a windy environment.

Avoid painting in excessive humidity because it can cause cracking. Stay away from painting in rains because it can wash away the paint. 15-20°C and less than 70% humidity with a cool breeze are considered as the ideal conditions for home painting. Remember that while choosing the ideal condition for painting, moderation is the key. Giving your home a fresh new appearance with a coat of paint is one of the most affordable ways of refurbishing your home. But, to achieve a quality painting result, you must avoid the common painting mistakes that other homeowners commit. If you succeed in escaping themScience Articles, a beautiful home will be a reality for you.
