Courtyard Chic

Tuesday, 09 March 2010 00:00

This season’s courtyard trends offer pockets of Europe and Asia that are set to ensure serene summer sanctuaries. Since ancient Europe and Asia, courtyards have fulfilled the function of integrating the outdoors with the inside areas of the home, adding a sense of warmth, light and tranquillity even in the coldest of climates.

A recent trend in contemporary architecture sees the design of homes centered around courtyards as they extend the living space as well as the line of sight. James Metcalf, director of SmartStone, says that no matter what courtyard style is selected, it is important that its design reflects the style of the home. “For example, a French Provencal or cottage garden would work well with an older home or one that has a Victorian or Edwardian feel while it wouldn’t necessarily suit a contemporary-style home.”
