5 Reasons Why You Should Invest in Your Outdoor Living Space in 2021
Last year was a crazy one. According to Forbes, in the home and garden world, 2020 was named the “Year of the Home.” Now, we are entering into what we hope to be the “Year of the Yard.” But why? Let’s dive in deeper as to why we believe investing in your outdoor living space will be one of your best decisions yet —
01. Sometimes, nature is all we have
We experienced the constraints of 2020 and it helped us hone in on the most important things in life. We all found certain things essential to our wellbeing—the outdoors being one of them. Our perspectives have shifted from hustling 24/7 to resting more. Our rest has looked like taking more neighborhood walks, building out garden beds, and contacting our local landscapers. When the whole world shuts down, sometimes, nature is all we have. Let’s continue to embrace it and treasure this gift that the Earth offers to us.
02. Your home CAN be your source of inspiration, play, and rest
Because of the 2020 constraints, many recognized fresh elements of inspiration and play within their homes. We believe in the power of nature and home. Together, they keep us wide-eyed and in a state of wonder for the everyday beauty around us. There are many reasons for us to easily become jaded, unmotivated, and unhappy in this world. Here at GPL, we want to say that it doesn’t have to be that way; we can find extraordinary things in the ordinary. That’s what we want to help unearth in your own home! We want to help revive the power of inspiration, play, and rest that exists within your space.
03. your outdoor space can be functional and livable
We love what this designer shared in survey with Unity Marketing: “[The] outdoors is no longer a separate space, but a continuation of what’s happening on the interior.” It’s so true! Your outdoor space should be an extension of the life happening in the indoors. That’s why we are so particular with our language here at GPL; you may have noticed we use the phrase “outdoor living space” quite often. That’s because we are passionate about making your front and back yards functional and livable; a space where the indoors thrive too. We want to help you design a space that is home to couches and rugs. Kitchens and fireplaces. Throw blankets and pillows. All of these things can exist outside too!
04. everything the indoors can do, the outdoors can do better
Bringing the indoors outside isn’t as hard as you think! We bring the outdoors in all the time with houseplants, prints, and hardy textures. Now, we’re reversing it. Indoor comfort and style plus durability. Soft textures tolerant for the outdoors. We’re relating to the outdoors differently because of it! The outdoors CAN be a source of comfort and coziness if we want it to. Truly, you don’t need much because nature is effortlessly BEAUTIFUL. Look at the clouds and sun and the neighborhood trees—our interiors can’t even compare. Now, go make your outdoor living space a home!
05. nature is healing
This past year has been painful in many ways. This is the most important reason why investing in your landscape in 2021 is an amazing long-term investment—it’s not only to enhance the exterior beauty of your home or to wow our friends. It’s for health. At GPL, we are true advocates for health in all areas of business. From the working environments of our employees to the health of the people we service, health is our priority. With any service that’s offered, we want to ensure that it checks off the box of increasing the health of your overall life. It’s why we’re here. It’s why we do what we do. When life gets hard like this past year, we want to help channel the scientifically proven healing elements of nature within your own home. Interested in partnering with us? Reach out!
