08 Nov Fencing, Patios & Pergolas: 5 Brilliant Outdoor Aesthetics to Consider

For homeowners in the Quad Cities area your home’s aesthetic matters nearly as much outside as it does inside. We take pride in our exterior vibe and it shows. From creating a space for family and friends to gather to securing our own oasis amidst the rest of the world outdoor aesthetics matter.

Wether you want to transform your outdoor space into the envy of the neighborhood or gain a little privacy around your patio, deck or yard, we have the answer. Is your vibe a trendy pergola space with a fire pit? Maybe you prefer a traditional patio where you can enjoy a calm atmosphere in your own backyard. Or maybe your idea of the perfect backyard paradise includes a pool and hot tub surrounded by an equally beautiful privacy fence. It’s your yard and a blank canvas to create your space.

Just as with your interior decor outdoor aesthetics play a big role in setting the tone. Your friends and family have come to expect only the best from you so let’s not let them down.

At Seiffert Building Supplies we have the design team to help you come up with just the right way to enhance your yard. Here are 5 brilliant outdoor aesthetics to consider.

5 Brilliant Outdoor Aesthetics to Transform Your Yard

Transforming your yard into your own personal retreat is a fairly easy endeavor. Outdoor aesthetics rely on the basics like fencing, patios and pergolas. Of course each of these components carries its own style as well. 

Fencing is available in an array of materials, from cable, chain link and vinyl to split rail, picket and wrought iron and many styles of privacy fencing as well. Patios can be designed to include outdoor entertainment areas like kitchens, bars and TVs and pergolas come in designs that go beyond the basic structure. Lets take a look at a few of our design options and the brilliant outdoor aesthetics they convey.

1. Magnificent Minimalist Modern 

Minimalist modern style relies on clean lines and monochromatic colors. The beauty of the form lies in the fact that its functional. Just as a minimalist modern interior is uncluttered and simplistic so should be the outdoor aesthetics. 

Consider steel fencing, metal split rail with steel cable or corrugated metal privacy fencing with wood accents. A concrete patio with equally simple lines and neutral tones, keeping function in mind. Further your minimalist modern style by incorporating LED lighting to highlight the elements of your design and add a bit of ambience. This is a popular style of home in the Quad Cities and stands out among outdoor aesthetics as well. 

2. Industrial Chic

Just as the urban-influenced minimalist modern design is trending so is the industrial chic style. The major difference between the two is that the industrial chic style utilizes more brick and iron. Outdoor aesthetics that evoke this ambience use wrought iron fencing, brick pavers and a brick or cobblestone patio. Metal accents such as planters and furniture create a space that’s highly coveted. The addition of Edison string lighting enhances this fun and easygoing look.

3. Outdoor Aesthetics with A Tropical Flavor

Imagine a tropical paradise surrounded by sustainable bamboo fencing complete with a curtained pergola, perhaps a hot tub, pool or other water feature and a raised deck or engineered wood teak floored patio. You can create your own island utopia right here in the Quad Cities and escape to the tropics whenever the mood strikes. 

For that lush island look be sure to include plenty of greenery and even some potted tropical palms to place around the patio/deck. Place a canopy over the pergola for shade. If you have a roof over your patio or deck area put up some beach ceiling fans with palm leaf blades for a relaxing atmosphere. 

4. Rustic and Natural

Outdoor aesthetics may reflect, well, the outdoors. That’s just what you’ll find with a rustic style yard-scape. Cedar or redwood split rail fencing, or more secluded privacy fencing, with a matching pergola provide a style that blends well with the nature surrounding your home. As the wood weathers it only adds to the natural ambience of your rustic yard.

A brick or concrete patio with wood posts or stack stone accents reflect mother nature even when you incorporate the most modern accouterment such as refrigerator, stereo system or big screen TV. Rustic and natural outdoor aesthetics don’t preclude creature comforts after all. 

5. Mediterranean Magic

A Mediterranean style space will have your guests thinking they are in Tuscany or the South of France when you incorporate special touches like a stone or travertine patio or large pergola with a sandstone floor. Surround your outdoor space with stone and wood fencing. Use light sun-washed colors and elements to further this gorgeous aesthetic. 

Add mosaic tile touches to your entertainment area and Mediterranean plants tucked into large terracotta pots and a stone fountain or other Mediterranean-esque water feature. An adjacent herb garden or Gardner’s rack with potted herbs lends a special touch to your Mediterranean escape.
