A REAL estate professional has shared their go-to design tips for turning your yard into an outdoor oasis.
If you want to transform your space into a Mediterranean paradise without leaving the country, then level up with these tricks.
CW Ibiza CEO Christian Wolf shared how you can give your yard a “Mediterranean-inspired makeover” that looks like you arrived in Ibiza, Spain.
With his tips, you can fill your “outdoor space with vibrant colors, lush greenery, cozy seating areas, and soothing water features.”
“One of the first things you can do is infuse your outdoor space with the bold and lively hues that Ibiza is renowned for,” Wolf said.
He recommended vibrant patio furniture adorned “with eye-catching patterns,” and textile details like cushions and throws to “create a playful and inviting atmosphere.”
Elevate your garden with a few of his flower choices.
“Mediterranean plants like bougainvillea and palm trees will add a touch of tropical flair, while their lush foliage provides much-needed shade,” he added.
Create a cozy environment that encourages relaxation and socialization with your choice of seating.
Hammocks and lounge beds with plush cushions are a great way to unwind and bask in the summer sun.
“Ambient lighting, such as lanterns or string lights, will cast a warm glow over your Ibiza-inspired oasis, setting the perfect mood for evening gatherings,” Wolf said.
If you want to add a bit of tranquility to your yard, Wolf suggested adding a fountain or a small pool.
This will help create a “serene ambiance that will transport you to the Mediterranean shores” as you hide from the hot weather.
According to the property expert, these “water features will not only enhance the overall aesthetic but also provide a refreshing respite from the summer heat.”
If you really want to “capture the essence of Ibiza,” Wolf suggested embracing eco-friendly materials and native plants from the region.
“Ibiza’s natural beauty is a testament to the importance of sustainability.
“By incorporating eco-friendly elements into your yard, you’ll create a harmonious and environmentally conscious space,” he said.
Lastly, if you want to have an Ibiza experience without the price tag, it’s all about setting the vibe.
That means filling your playlist with “upbeat, Mediterranean-inspired” sounds.
Consider setting up outdoor speakers or a cozy lounge area with a sound system next to it.
Not only will yard guests enjoy it, but it will also help maintain the peaceful feeling within your private space.
“With these tips, anyone can quickly transform their garden into an Ibiza-inspired paradise that’s perfect for enjoying summer while at the same time staying cool and relaxed,” Wolf said.
