Design Inspiration: Rustic Outdoor Living Spaces

Temperatures are in the 70’s this weekend in Steamboat Springs, something that usually doesn’t happen until late May. The warm temperatures are getting me in the mood to start preparing our outdoor living spaces so we can enjoy this gorgeous weather. Here are five captivating spaces sure to inspire ideas for your own outdoor living haven in Colorado…or wherever your outdoor living space is!

Here’s a space from the Home on the Range portfolio. Cozy seating around the outdoor fireplace is perfect for a relaxing evening outdoors.

The stone fireplace and columns, the stone tile floor and the wood beams give this Portland space a decidedly rustic feel.

We like the way the space above is broken up into conversation and dining areas. The views are expansive, but the overall feeling is still cozy. What an awe inspiring spot to gather to chat or enjoy a meal with friends and family!

Get ready to mark your calendars because there’s a wonderful event coming up here in Colorado that you won’t want to miss: the Colorado Garden & Home Show. The show will take place at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver from Feb. 12 – Feb. 19, and it will be a fantastic time for local home and garden enthusiasts.
