1. Utilize Similar Flooring

To link your indoor and outdoor spaces, use the same flooring for these spaces. If your interior is tiled, let this be the same for your outdoors.

Consider eliminating any steps between the two spaces for a perfect flooring connection. Let the floor level be uniform; it’ll show continuity such that both areas seem to be the same.

As you bring your indoor flooring outside, you should choose weather-resistant materials that withstand harsh weather conditions. If your indoor area has wooden flooring, do the same outdoors but have it stained to form a waterproof topcoat. By adopting weather-proofing aspects, you’ll increase the lifespan of your outdoor flooring.

2. Adopt Glazing

There’s no better way of bringing the outdoors inside than utilizing glazing. The supporting frame is minimal with glazing, with the majority aspect being glass.

The glass will bring natural lighting to your inner space, brightening  up your home. Besides this, you’ll have a view of your outdoors when you’re comfortably seated on your sofa.

Consider adopting glazing for your doors, either the front or the back, or both. These could be UPVC or Aluminum doors. The framing is what’ll be Aluminum or UPVC.

There are various types of glazed doors you can make your selection, such as bi-fold and sliding. With a bi-fold, you can completely fold the entrance door to one side, eliminating any barrier between your indoor and outdoor space.

On the other hand, a sliding door won’t fold up completely, but you can keep it open rather than closed.

Glazed windows are another way to link your indoor and out spaces seamlessly. You can adopt French or sliding windows for this.

The windows will also bring in a lot of light into your home, as it also allows you to view nature. These come in various sizes, whose choice depends on your preference.

3. Play Around With Your Interior Design

When trying to blur the lines between your indoor and outdoor spaces, you don’t necessarily have to bring the outdoor environment into your interior. The vice versa is also possible and will also be effective.

Therefore, consider adopting outdoor materials into your interior. You could bring the shiplap wooden walls into your kitchen interior walls. Homeowners commonly used shiplaps for exterior walls in the past.

Alternatively, utilize brick walls; it doesn’t have to be natural if you don’t have the time and money for such a makeover. You can purchase wallpaper with a brick pattern or other outdoor material and have it on your walls.

4. Eliminate Walls

Solid walls ‘loudly’ create a barrier between your indoor and outdoor spaces, which isn’t what you want.

Therefore, consider bringing down a section of your external walls. Do this specifically for the walls that border your garden or lawn. You want to see this view from the inside of your home.

Replace these walls with large glazed windows combined with aluminum doors. These glazed elements will open up your home, allowing seamless integration between the indoor and outdoor spaces.

5. Adopt Lighting

The two spaces need to be lit, day or night, for the seamless integration of your indoor and outdoor spaces.

The main focus is on lighting your outdoor space because the indoor area is often well-lit, especially at night. Therefore, consider adding hanging bulbs, rope lights, and pendant lamps on your patio, terrace, or pergola.

To get it right with outdoor lighting:

  • Refrain from bringing bright indoor lighting outside.
  • Adopt dim lights that represent a cozy and warm atmosphere.
  • Therefore, place your lights along the path leading to your lawn, hang string lights on nearby trees, and place small lights along your flowers’ length.  

By adopting this kind of lighting, your outdoor space will reflect the lit-up aspect of your interior, and you’ll feel as if you’re indoors.

However, you must take precautions to add lighting fixtures to your outdoor space. Ensure they’re waterproof and weather-proof to serve you for long without getting damaged. Also, ensure all the wiring is well encased to prevent direct contact with water should it rain and is well insulated to avoid effects with excessive sun exposure. Covering and protecting your lighting wiring will prevent the occurrence of accidents and injuries.

6. Create a Usable Space Outdoor

A method you can embrace to bring indoor comfort to great outdoor spaces.

You can utilize this space and bring your dining or reading area outdoors if you have a patio. There are many outdoor space ideas you can incorporate depending on your interests or needs.

Consider maintaining the style of your indoors to this space. If you want to add some outdoor feel, use rugs and nature-like furniture.

However, if you don’t have an existing patio or terrace, you can build a small pergola and adopt glazed elements to add  elegance.

If your compound is small and doesn’t have enough green, you can turn your patio or pergola into a small garden. The green garden will add to the outdoor feel in your home, even as you link it to your indoor area.

7. Incorporate Plants

One other way of bringing your outdoors indoors is by using plants. Purchase or make potted plants and place them strategically in your home, especially near your glazed elements.

If you’re utilizing a sliding aluminum door, put two potted plants on either side of the door. Consider installing a floating shelf at a considerable height next to your glazed window and placing some plants.

You can also have the potted plants on floating shelves around your home, especially the living room; ensure you don’t crowd them.

There are two factors to incorporate plants in your home:

  • Don’t Put Too Many Plants Indoors

You want to avoid a situation where you both compete for Oxygen, especially at night. The plants are meant to brighten and elevate your space and not endanger your health.

  • Create A Continuous Link Between Your Indoor And Outdoor Space

You don’t crowd too many plants together; have them spread out. Also, select plants that allow light to pass through them and don’t grow into shrubs. An example of some plants to add to your home are the Bamboo Palm, Madagascar Dragon Tree, and the Snake Plant.

Conclusion

As seen, seamlessly linking your indoor and outdoor spaces isn’t challenging as you’d have imagined. This article has highlighted some simple but effective ways of creating your desired link. Therefore, implement the tips, and you’ll get the connection right.
