Bringing the outdoor in.

Plants are always a great way to bring life to a space. In a  home for instance, indoor plants in a living room bring calm. A covered courtyard within a garden creates a perfect all weather space.  It provides a serene environment bringing the outside in. One can make it as an extension from the main house or an independent building. With a well manicured garden , one can be able to enjoy views all year round, all day long.

What can one do with a covered courtyard?
 
a) Library/Office


A home office or library can be one great idea. The glass walls make the space feel bigger. One can enjoy the sunshine and the rain. With inclusion of a carpet, the space feels comfortable, warm and clutter free. This space can also be used as a quiet room where one can retreat to journal, meditate and relax.


b) Dining area


No one enjoys the value of a perfect dining area than one who enjoys to host. A well designed dining room provides the perfect ambience for hosting. One can set it up for light tea parties with the ladies, fine dining with the couples and business dinner with the colligues. A decorative candle look chandalier and a fresh bouquet of flowers as the centre piece at the table add a special touch. Different designs of place mats, napkins, crockery & cutlery and decor personalise each dinner set-up.

c) Bathroom


A bathroom is a space meant to be serene and comfortable. A dreamy bathroom with an outdoor area provides a space for not only taking a bath but one to relax as well. With this courtyard, one can place a shower or a bathtub. An indoor plant perfectly accessorises the space. An accent chair can be usefull to relax as one is having a leg soak or to bask in the sun after a bath.
