Designing Your Perfect Summer Oasis: 3 Outdoor Upgrades

Jun 13

As the days grow longer and the air turns warmer, there’s no better time to get your home summer-ready. At Bardi Designs, we believe outdoor spaces should be an extension of your lifestyle, AKA, beautiful, functional, and built for joy. Whether it’s backyard gatherings or quiet evenings under the stars, the right design can make all the difference.

With years of experience designing everything from luxurious patios to resort-style community amenities, we’re here to help you craft your own summer sanctuary. Here are three ways to elevate your outdoor living this season:

Expand Your Outdoor Living Space

Outdoor living is at the heart of summer design. From cozy seating areas to serene lounge zones, consider how your space can support both relaxation and entertaining.

In our Topsail project, we transformed a coastal property into a serene retreat by incorporating natural textures and a palette inspired by the sea. The outdoor spaces showcased comfortable seating arrangements under a custom pergola which allowed for both sun-soaked afternoons and shaded relaxation. We strategically placed lanterns and soft lighting to enhance the ambiance, making the space perfect for evening gatherings.

Pro Tip: Consider how your layout can support different activities, from reading nooks to play zones, especially if you're in a multi-generational or adult community setting.

Elevate Outdoor Dining

Nothing says summer like a meal under the sky. Designing a dedicated dining area, on your patio, under a pergola, or nestled in your garden, can turn everyday meals into outdoor experiences.

Our Pompano Beach project exemplifies this approach. We crafted an elegant outdoor dining space featuring a durable, weather-resistant table paired with stylish chairs, all set atop a natural stone patio. The area was accented with coastal-inspired décor and ambient lighting, creating an inviting atmosphere for both casual meals and formal gatherings

Invite Nature In

A beautifully designed space feels alive, and nothing adds life like plants and natural elements. Use raised planters, container gardens, or vertical greenery to bring in color, texture, and movement. Herbs, succulents, and native plants add fragrance and flair with minimal upkeep.

We seamlessly integrated lush greenery throughout the outdoor spaces in our Vert project. Vertical gardens and strategically placed planters brought nature closer to the living areas, while a tranquil water feature added a soothing auditory element. These natural touches enhanced the aesthetic appeal and also promoted a sense of well-being and connection to the environment.
