How to make a secluded outdoor oasis at home?
Karren Andreychuk • April 1, 2021

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]We all experience busy lives. With work, choruses, family, and adventures, it can be hard to find time to relax. While outdoor spaces are common places to relax, they are not always peaceful. Between annoying wind gusts and other little nuisances this otherwise perfect space can easily be ruined. Here at ORWW we know the value of privacy and have come up with a few solutions to help you create a secluded outdoor oasis at home.

Privacy Please

Over the years, we have seen an increase in the use of privacy. Not only do they come in a variety of intricate colors and styles, but they can be very practical.

Sunset blinding you during your nightly drink? Privacy screen!

Afternoon wind blowing away your lunch? Privacy screen!

A loud road next to your yard? Privacy screen!

Just because you live in a residential area does not mean you need to sacrifice your alone time. The screens often have small gaps cut into fun designs. These designs add a sense of elegance instead of just a solid fenced barrier, they also prevent you from being completely cut off like with a traditional solid fence.

Many privacy screens can be found in black, bronze, or white powder-coated aluminum. This ensures that they last all year round! Privacy screens are also bolted to each other and the floor to prevent falling and make them stronger against the elements.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”9553″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”11432″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”11431″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Plants

Privacy screens are an easy solution, but if not utilized correctly can make your backyard feel more like a fortress than a sanctuary. Forever botanicals are a wonderful way to soften and add warmth to a calming space. These life-like decorations will not fade or wither. They come in a variety of plants from tall trees, gorgeous succulents, and bushy grasses. Whatever outdoor paradise you want, forever botanicals can create it! Make a desert garden in northern Saskatchewan or a rainforest in dry Alberta. The possibilities are endless!

We are loving the new selection from World Design Imports. These plants are very luscious and healthy-looking. They also feel amazing especially like long grasses that are so soft!! Forever botanicals are far from the plastic plants that overran our grandmothers’ houses. If you like the look of plants, but hate the work of plants, check them out![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”6198″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”11003″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Under Umbrellas

Maybe it is not the neighbors you wish to hide from, but nature itself. Umbrellas are a great way to escape the scorching sun and pesky rain or protect your outdoor dining area from a shedding tree. Umbrellas come in a variety of colors and styles as well. They can vary in size from seven feet to eleven feet and many of them swivel allowing you protection all day!

You can either keep your umbrella color neutral to blend in or try to spice things up with a bright umbrella for a pop of color! It is such a simple product, but it can influence how you enjoy your outdoor space. If you want a great long-lasting umbrella, we suggest investing in a Sunbrella fabric umbrella. Just like Sunbrella fabric cushions these umbrellas will not fade. They are also made from a thicker cloth to prevent tears leaving you protected for their whole lifetime![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”6260″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”8078″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”6264″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]There are many ways creative and gorgeous ways to help increase your outdoor comfort and ORWW is here to help!
