"Hams with lounge chairs, guarantee that the outdoor space has many seats to choose, customers are comfortable and comfortable," explains Yasmine El Sanyoura , designer of houses on the real estate website Open door . "Make sure you invest in pillows to launch outdoors to add a touch of color and texture to the outdoor seats."

Alexakis adds that the outdoor dining rooms and entertainment options such as households or outdoor televisions can also bring the interior sensation outside.

A large part of the appearance of your backyard is landscaping, which means plants, flowers, grass and other greenery.

"An unorganized lawn is not only a sidewalk call, but also sends a red flag to customers whose house is not taken care of," warns El Sanyoura.

Of course, you will want to keep your lawn regularly to keep it healthy and green. El Sanyoura also suggests that your trees are cut and that the weeds fired. And she likes to have "colorful seasonal flowers" on display. Alexakis recommends adding various plants of different colors and textures "to create visual interest and depth".

Ben Hilton, founder and publisher of The gardening scheme , share another idea, which is to create a focal point that will instantly attract the attention of customers. "A Magnolia with bright colored flowers or a cherry blossom [tree] can be used with a large effect in the center of a lawn or an open courtyard." In the fall, he said that Maple, Ginkgo or Sweetgum Sweetgum add a nice color explosion.

To the point of Hilton, if space and the budget allow it, El Sanyoura likes to use a water function as a focal point. "Cascades and fountains with ponds and swimming pools, water elements can add a visual impact to a courtyard."

Even if it is outside, your backyard can always feel congested and disorderly to the guests.

"Unfortunately, too many gardens show signs of daily life on the front of the stage. The child's sand pit, washing lines, pools above the ground and the garbage cans," said Hilton. "The objective should be to make the space open and flat, the focal points occupying the front of the stage."

If you have a lot of children's toys in the courtyard, Wayne suggests that you designate a certain area for them, so things will be treated while allowing small guests to have fun.
