A calm oasis at home

Many people are look- ing for ways to up- date their homes to
provide a sense of comfort and connection to the out- doors. Outdoor projects are flourishing as people extend their living spaces to feel closer to their natural sur- roundings. Check out these top backyard renovation ideas:
WATER ELEMENTS
There’s something serene about listening to the ocean waves or a bubbling brook, and people are bringing this feeling home by incorporat- ing water elements into their outdoor spaces. Something as simple as a solar-pow- ered fountain can work this magic, but many people are investing more money into permanent structures, such as garden streams, ponds and pondless waterfalls.
FULL OUTDOOR KITCHENS
Outdoor kitchens are trending, with many people customizing patio spaces with a grill, hearth or pizza oven, refrigerator and even a sink, thanks to above-floor plumbing solutions like the Sanivite drain pump from Saniflo.
Typically, for proper drain- age, you would need conven- tional, below-floor plumbing, but above-the-floor options like drain pumps make it possible to add a sink and more where no drainage cur-

rently exists. After a full out- door kitchen is established, people are rounding out these spaces with a dining table and even lounge chairs for conversing and making memories at home.
FUNCTIONAL LANDSCAPING
People are striving for thoughtful landscape de- signs that keep in mind their needs and the needs of the environment.
Sustainable gardens are another good example, with people wanting the ability to produce herbs, vegetables and fruits at home. Beyond the garden plot, this includes container gardens, raised- bed gardens and integrat- ing edibles into landscaping.
OUTDOOR BATHROOMS
For people who have a pool, spa or detached work- out space, having an outdoor bathroom can be a huge
plus. However, it can also be costly and time-consuming. Saniflo’s Sanicompact offers an alternative that requires no breaking up concrete or excavation to install expen- sive below-floor drainage. Plus, the dual-flush system saves water, which can help manage utility bills and sup- port the environment.
PRIVATE, PERSONALIZED OUTDOOR ROOMS
With a bit of creativity and a strategic approach, people are creating outdoor “rooms” that are mini-escapes along- side Mother Nature.
This might include cre- ating a meditative garden in the corner of the yard, a yoga space for daily practice next to the patio, or a path- way that leads to a backyard bench for a reading retreat.
