The backyard of this year’s HGTV Dream Home overlooks Puget Sound. The deck and pergola provide a seamless outdoor living area for friends and family to enjoy breathtaking sunsets.
The outdoor dining table seats up to ten people by combining benches and modern, black outdoor dining chairs. The outdoor living space is the perfect spot to entertain or enjoy a relaxing family dinner on the water.
Combining modern, black dining chairs with gray benches keeps the seating versatile and dynamic. The relaxed and inviting space makes it easy to kick back and enjoy the beauty of the Pacific Northwest.
Gray benches match the decking and tie the space to the neutral tones found in the interior of the home. Plus, the durable material means the space will withstand the rainy weather and salty air on Puget Sound.
These multipurpose benches include pull out storage space to keep extra pillows and blankets safe when storms roll in. Extra storage makes it easy to keep extra plates and glasses at hand when neighbors stop by for a visit.
Gray decking outside echoes the whitewashed wood floors found inside the home. Ocean elements and constant rain are no match for this decking that can withstand the salty sea air of Puget Sound.
The outdoor dining area provides shade from the sun and privacy from the neighbors while the glass and railing add a modern touch without obstructing the view of Henderson Bay.
The glass and railing around the pergola patio is the same as the railing used upstairs off the kitchen. Simple and streamlined, this railing keeps the emphasis on what’s most important, the waterfront.
It’s easy to enjoy the sunset from the patio with glass and minimal framework on the railing. This clean, modern design was chosen to make the most of the stunning surroundings.
A cozy fire pit seating area is tucked into the opposite end of the property. Thoughtful landscaping keeps the space feeling private but open to the waterfront view.
Gray stone pavers in a subtle geometric pattern lead to the fire pit. Using contrasting stone to line the walkway defines the space and gives it a finished touch.
The stone fire pit provides the perfect spot to start your day over coffee while enjoying the coastal view. Extra seating means there is always a chair for friends and family to join.
From the floor-to-ceiling windows to the patio and fire pit areas, the backyard of HGTV Dream Home 2018 keeps the focus on the waterfront views. Using gray decking and gray stone pavers connect the outdoor living areas and complement the charcoal and black exterior color palette of the house.
Even the dog house gets a modern makeover with wood siding accented by metal trim and framework. Native plants create a living roof that ties Fido’s abode to the natural surroundings.
Painting the home black and using charcoal as an accent color on the trim work gives this 1970’s home a modern facelift. The dark colors also highlight the windows and highlight the home’s striking angles and roofline.
The covered outdoor kitchen means it’s always a good time to grill even if it’s a typical rainy Pacific Northwest day. An open seating area with roomy Adirondack chairs and coffee table keeps the focus on outdoor living.
Gray and white pillows with an intricate geometric pattern add a soft accent to the covered seating area. A charcoal poof doubles as a side table or extra seating depending on the size of the crowd.
The Midcentury modern coffee table is inviting with the addition of a potted fern while Adirondack chairs create a relaxing spot to lounge. Gray tones throughout the space feel clean and streamlined.
Sunsets are sweeter from the back deck of this reimagined 1970’s home. Modern upgrades enhance the home’s architectural angles and additional outdoor seating from the pergola dining area to the covered outdoor kitchen make it easy to entertain and enjoy the beauty of the Northwest year-round.
