Relaxing Outdoors: How to Design Your Space

Contrary to what many people think, an outdoor area is not a displaced space. An outdoor area must be an extension of the indoor, so you should be able to relax outdoors as you relax indoors, discover how to design your outdoor space.

The design can be identical to the one that you have indoors, or you can opt for a totally different setup. The whole ambiance has to match your personality, so choose what you like the most, to be able to relax outdoors.

However, there are a few essentials for relaxing outdoors in the best way possible. Check them out!

1. Add Comfort

To properly relax outdoors, you must be cozy and comfortable. Otherwise, the only thing that you’re going to think about is your back pain.

For the furniture to be totally comfortable it also has to be made with high-quality outdoor materials. This will prevent deterioration of the piece and it will last longer.

Comfort can be a subjective theme. Some people are comfortable in an armchair, others prefer a sunbed, for example. So, our suggestion is a sofa. Why? Well, there’s nothing more functional and comfortable than a sofa. You can sit like in an armchair; you can lay down like in a sunbed… All of this with sophisticated and luxurious pillows for supporting your back.

Minotti has a lot of sofa suggestions, but today’s favorite is Florida. “The seating system presents itself as a carefully designed collection of soft and geometric volumes, defined by profiles in eco-leather suitable for outdoor use.”

2. Private Moments

The first step of “How to relax outdoors- 101 Guide” is to be in peace, without anything or anyone disturbing you. We all need that kind of moment. That moment where we just want to be alone, listen to good music (we’ll get there soon), and relax, without thinking of anything.

To not lose all the luxury and sophistication that your outdoor relaxation zone has (or will have) you must opt for the same-style screen.
