Creative Water Features and Exterior

Water is a soothing natural element that can add a peaceful vibe to any outdoor space. Here are some creative ways to incorporate water features into your home.

Stacking stone statues around a fountain makes for a fun design that brings a little personality to your garden. Adding a unique decoration around the spigot elevates any simple fountain, like this fish-like figure.

A soothing fountain, peaceful pond, or mesmerizing waterfall can transform your yard into an oasis. They also reduce background noise and make your outdoor space more calming for you and your guests. Decorative elements around the spout of your fountain can elevate it to an art piece. This unique one has a fish figurine that adds a sense of mystique to the water garden.

ACCESSORIES

From tranquil ponds to soothing waterfalls, there are a wide variety of creative water features available to enhance your outdoor environment. A well-designed water feature can increase your home value, optimize your yard for entertaining guests, and create a focal point that will amaze and captivate all who enter your property. Envy Exteriors will help you understand your options and design the perfect water feature to meet your unique wants and needs.

Globe decor is a great way to add personality to your home. Not only are they beautiful, but they can also serve as a reminder of your travels. One of the most popular ways to display a globe is as a lamp. There are many different options available, including ceiling globe lights that look like Chinese paper lanterns. There are also floor globe lamps that look similar to traditional lamp bases. These are ideal for bedrooms and living rooms.

Another way to use a globe is to turn it into a decorative bowl. This is a fun way to show off your favorite letters and can be done in a variety of colors. Check out this tutorial for more information.

Figurines are small three-dimensional sculptures that depict human beings, gods or animals. They are usually crafted from clay or another hard plastic resin such as acrylonitrile butadiene styrene. They are often painted and may have movable parts, allowing limbs to be posed. Figurines that have movable limbs are also known as dolls, mannequins or action figures.

Animal figurines are popular collectibles, and they can also be used for decoration. They can be sculpted from a variety of materials and come in different shapes and sizes. They can also be used to play with tabletop based games such as miniature war gaming. They are a great way to express one’s artistic side and can be a fun and creative hobby.

Kitchen utensils can also be designed to add personality and humor. One of our favorite examples is OTOTO’s Nessie ladle, which transforms an ordinary kitchen tool into a mythical creature. 

The creative kitchen tools include a silicone whisk, which is great for beating eggs and whipping up whipped cream. It has a soft, rubbery grip and a wide base to prevent it from rolling off of the countertop or table. A vegetable peeler is an easy way to remove the skin from any type of veggie, and a pair of kitchen shears can be used for cutting anything from fresh herbs to meat. A food processor has a lot of uses and is a great tool for making creamy sauces, soups, and even smoothies.

Wall frames can be a cheap and stylish way to add visual interest to any room. They can be used to frame photographs, artwork, or even items like preserved flowers or postcards. Wall frames can be arranged in a simple grid or as an eclectic mix to suit your aesthetic preferences.

Wall framing in house construction involves the stick members that create exterior walls and interior partitions, both load-bearing and non-load-bearing. Also known as studs, wall plates and lintels, these stick members are nailing bases for all covering material. In addition, sheathing -- usually drywall for interiors and plywood or oriented strand board (OSB) for exteriors -- is nailed to the tops of the wall or partition studs to help resist lateral loads, keeping the wall square and strong.

LIGHTING

The design of your home and yard is the first impression guests and friends will have. Creative Features and Exterior can help you create a space that is unique, functional and inviting.

Attractive architectural details, charming fences, flowerbeds and gorgeous landscape designs are just a few home improvement ideas that can improve your house’s curb appeal. Complementing exterior paint color combinations and outdoor lighting complete attractive house exterior designs.

Ceiling Lights

Whether you want to bring a subtle look or dramatic effect to your home, ceiling lights are an excellent option. These fixtures are commonly found in bedrooms, bathrooms, hallways and entryways. However, they can also work well as accent lighting in living spaces and dining rooms. They can even be installed in small areas like curios, creating a moody atmosphere that highlights the artwork or decorative features within the room.

There are many different styles of ceiling light fixtures, and each one offers a unique way to enhance the design of your home. Some ceiling lights, such as flush mounts or semi-flush mounts, are built directly into the ceiling for a sleek and low-profile look. They are also great options for rooms with lower ceilings that may not be able to support hanging fixtures.

Other ceiling light designs include pendant lights. These fixtures hang from a chain or rod and offer a range of sizes, shapes and finishes. Some have clear or frosted shades that help to diffuse the light and create a specific look. Others feature etchings and other designs to refract the light and highlight certain features of your home’s interior.

Another ceiling light style is track or rail lighting, which allows you to direct light to any area of the room. This type of ceiling light is popular for highlighting art or other decorative features, such as crown moldings and columns. They can also be used to illuminate closets, hallways and bedrooms.

Kitchen Lights

The kitchen is a very busy space, and the lighting needs to be able to change with the activities that are happening. Installing a dimmer switch will allow you to easily adjust the level of light in this area, and will give you more control over the ambiance.

Task lighting is essential in the kitchen, and LED strip lights under cabinets, recessed ceiling lighting in the pantry or over an island are all excellent options. This type of lighting is bright enough to illuminate your work areas and help you avoid eye strain. You will also want to consider lighting up any open shelving you have by using puck lights that are installed on the underside of a cabinet shelf, 1 to 2 inches from the back of the shelf, to elegantly backlight any vases or other countertop decor.

Pendant lights are an attractive option for the kitchen, and are available in a variety of shapes and sizes. A general rule of thumb is to use an odd number of pendants, and to hang them high enough so that they are not in the way of people walking around. Ideally, they should be 30 to 36 inches above the surface they are lighting.

Ambient lighting is the softer overhead lighting that provides general illumination for your kitchen. This type of lighting can be achieved with a variety of fixture types, including recessed lights, flush-mount or semi-flush-mount fixtures, chandeliers and even wall sconces.

If you have a unique style for your kitchen, look for lights that will bring this out. For example, in this open-plan kitchen, the warm-toned exposed bulbs on these sputnik lights shout 'dinner time' while adding a bold design element to the room. Mixing the styles of your lighting is a great way to add character and depth to any kitchen, and this can be done using almost any fixture type.

Beautiful architectural features and charming details, unique yard landscaping ideas, and attractive home decorating color combinations increase your house curb appeal.

Lighting fixtures should accentuate architecture rather than compete with it. Flank a fireplace with glamorous sconces or illuminate an artwork to create eye-catching focal points that visitors will gravitate towards.

FURNITURE

Outdoor Furnitures

Outdoor furniture is an easy way to refine your home’s exterior. The right chairs, tables and lounges help create comfortable spaces where you can enjoy your outdoor space with friends and family. From rustic to modern, there are outdoor furniture options to suit every taste and budget.

Whether you’re hosting a backyard barbecue or a casual poolside party, the right patio furniture can make your space even more enjoyable. You can find a wide selection of patio furniture at Pottery Barn that’s ultra-modern and chic, classically cool or transitional and vintage-inspired. You’ll also find a variety of stylish cushions and covers that add comfort and color to your seating.

If you’re aiming for a rustic look, try the Weathered Wood Bistro Set with Metal Chairs. For a contemporary feel, consider the Teak and Aluminum Dining Table with Six Directors’ Chairs or the Aluminum Outdoor Armless Loveseat. You can also elevate your poolside experience with a new Ledge Lounger. 

You can also enhance your outdoor space with a beautiful water feature like a fountain or a water wall. These features bring a sense of peace and tranquility to your outdoor area and are available in many different styles to match your home’s architecture.

Garden Furnitures

Garden furniture, sometimes called patio or deck furniture, is a great way to create a relaxing space outside your home. Whether it’s a simple seating area or an elaborate dining room, the right pieces can make your garden feel like a private oasis. Choosing the best garden furnitures depends on what you plan to use it for and how much maintenance you’re willing to put in. It’s also important to consider how your new furniture will fit with the aesthetic of your home.

To add a touch of elegance to your garden, opt for furniture with curved lines. This style suits contemporary gardens and pairs well with garden accents that add a soft touch of luxury, such as orchids and low bamboo tables. If you don’t have the space for a full garden table and chairs, a garden bench can be used as an alternative to a seat.

Adding lights to your garden can enhance its mood and draw people outside at night. String lights, lanterns, and candles can all be used to create a warm, cozy atmosphere that’s perfect for chatting with friends or reading a book. 

Patio Furnitures

When choosing patio furniture, look for pieces that match or complement your backyard’s landscaping ideas. For example, choose metal chairs in a color that matches the shade of your stone or paver patio. Or, pick a wooden bench that harmonizes with your traditional backyard designs and matches the wood of the surrounding trees. This helps create a fluid design that fuses your garden, backyard and home to feel like one cohesive space.

For a more contemporary look, select patio furniture in bold hues. Vivid colors work especially well with wicker and metal pieces. Paint your outdoor furniture in a color that coordinates with your planters, pillows and other decorative accents, or simply opt for a bright shade that adds instant impact to a neutral backdrop. 

While most people think of loungers as pool patio furniture, this style of seating can enhance any garden. In this Palm Springs backyard designed by Sheldon Hart, a set of green-upholstered chairs tone with the planting and pool deck to keep the space feeling connected.
