Modern Home Receives Colorful, Boho Makeover

With the help of landscape designer Elizabeth Przygoda-Montgomery, this home in Tuscon, Ariz., received a colorful makeover. The entryway, which once featured only concrete and gravel, was walled off to create a courtyard with a cool nest chair for reading, while the backyard was revamped to include porch swings, a dining area and a fire pit. Throw pillows and patterned rugs bring on the boho vibes.

Interior Sight Lines Create Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Living

Designers were careful to blend the indoor and outdoor spaces by taking advantage of sight lines from the home's interior design. The plants in the front courtyard and the back yard can be seen from the living room, kitchen, bedroom and hallways. Here, a sculptural cactus provides a backdrop for art inside the home.

Backyard Design Encourages Indoor-Outdoor Living

The homeowners wanted an outdoor design that would meet the desires of their indoor-outdoor lifestyle, so designers included multiple seating areas with chaise lounges for taking in the sun, half-submerged loungers for cooling off in the shallow end of the pool, porch swings and an outdoor dining table for enjoying a meal al fresco.

Desert Color Palette in Modern Backyard Design

The homeowners wanted a backyard design that would blend into the desert surroundings rather than compete with it, so designers chose native plants like gray-green cacti and natural colored hardscape such as warm, caramel stones and pale, sun-bleached wood that would reflect the warm, desert tones to create the look.

Comfortable Sofas Add Seating Around Fire Pit

The cushy sofas around the wood-burning fire pit are the best place to relax in the evening after a long day.
