Besides the basic things that are included in every house, there are few things you can add to spice up the looks of your place. Here are some ideas that will help you do so.
Chapter Overview
1. An Outdoor Pool
Having a pool in your backyard will add an aesthetic appeal to your home, get creative with the pool design, and it will be like your own personal heaven is in your backyard. Imagine a swimming pool with a flowing waterfall, infinity edge, and charming colorful tiles. You can also add in-pool seating to grab a drink while enjoying the swim. A swimming pool is a great feature that will make all your friends and family members want to come for a drink. Buying cushions to have a pool seating area is a good idea to sit around when you and your guests are done with swimming, have a chat and enjoy the rest of your relaxing night.
2. Buy a Sauna
Adding an indoor sauna into your home is another great idea. If you are actually thinking about adding one, you will need to be clever about where to put it. If you have a large master bathroom, you can change a part of it into a sauna as you will also need a water supply for your steam. Your basement may be another option too! Without stepping out of the comfort of your house, these indoor saunas will make it easier and pretty convenient for you to relax. In addition, having a sauna at home will help relieve the stress and pain caused by your work. Another important thing to mention is that you do not need to worry about things like the cleanliness of the place or how many people used it before you, you are only gonna share it with the people living with you, and you will take care of cleaning the place.
3. Glass Floor
Glass floors or walkways are an elegant touch to your living place. Some might think that it is unsafe, however, this is not true. Processed glass is used to design glass floors which are four times stronger than the normal glass and is also used for other placement like the windows or mirrors. This will surely help you show off your place, and it can hold weight as a wooden floor would, so no need to worry about adding heavy luxurious furniture above the glass. Glass is a great light reflector, it will enable your place to become more bright, roomy and airy. Moreover, glass floors are well-matched with all decor styles, contemporary mystique, industrial opulence, or mid-century style.
4. Outdoor Cinema
Whether you’re setting up the cinema in your backyard or your roof, make sure you have a ground that is dry and suitable for sitting and protected from the wind. The next step is to buy a projector, do the needed search until you find the right one that will work with the place. In addition, you can decorate the place using fairy lights but make sure to turn them off whenever you are starting the movie, so they do not affect the image. It is important to avoid setting up the cinema in a place that is exposed to the streetlights or bright indoor lights from the house. Having a video source and a speaker is essential, the whole idea will not work without them. You could create the cinema screen by hanging a piece of sheet anywhere in the backyard or the roof, make sure it is pinned from all the corners so that it does not move and ruin the movie. Last but not least, make sure you and your guests are comfortable while watching and enjoying the movie. Place a groundsheet on the grass to keep your clothes from any moisture or dirt, you can have blankets and cushions too and few bean bags would be a great touch.
