Live-in. Live-out: The Art of Landscape Design

Landscape design is the meticulous art of planning and arranging outdoor spaces to create a visually appealing and functional environment. It involves a thoughtful combination of natural elements such as flora, fauna, landforms, water features, and swimming pools, are all introduced to enhance the beauty of a given space. However, all that glitters isn’t gold. The landscape space also needs to make sense ergonomically, functionally and how it all flows to guarantee as much as possible that people will interact with the garden, so that they are not just passive observers.

The significance of landscape design extends far beyond mere visual appeal. Well-designed landscapes contribute to the overall well-being of individuals and communities. They provide a sanctuary for relaxation and contemplation, serving as a respite from the hustle and bustle of urban life. Additionally, thoughtfully planned landscapes can contribute to environmental sustainability by promoting biodiversity, conserving water, and mitigating the impact of climate change. Moreover, they enhance property values, fostering a sense of pride and connection among residents.

The relationship between landscape design and interior design is symbiotic, each influencing and complementing the other. Seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces create a sense of continuity, blurring the boundaries between the two. For instance, large windows or glass doors strategically positioned in a home can frame and showcase the surrounding landscape, effectively bringing the outdoors inside. Lehem Interiors’ goal is to create a cohesive and unified aesthetic that resonates throughout our client’s entire living space, promoting a sense of balance and tranquility. Whether it’s the use of natural stone accents, indoor plants, or the strategic placement of outdoor furniture visible from within the home, the integration of landscape and interior design creates a holistic and immersive living experience.
