Don’t know how to design or fix your backyard? We have 4 easy tips for you!

Incorporate Greenery

We suggest decorating your outdoor space with lots of plants! There are a lot of physical, mental, and emotional benefits of being one with nature, and where better to experience that than your own backyard? You can plant your own kitchen ingredients in various stylish pots, low bowls, or even repurposed wooden boxes or crates. If running low on space, you may opt for vertical gardens in containers attached to your wall or hanging gardens suspended from beams, eaves, or wall hangers. You can grow a variety of plants such as succulents, herbs, flowers or vegetables.

Maximize the Space

Treat your outdoor space like an extension of your living room. Fill up your backyard with functional and space-saving furniture, with a few decorative accents here and there such as side tables and a stylish rug! You can take advantage of the free wall space at the back exterior of your house by setting up shelves to hold plants and even food for gatherings. Keep the back uncluttered by building more storage space or hanging swing benches.

Light It Up

Hang string lights around your outdoor space to make it feel warm and cozy while also saving on floor space. These look great at night, and also look amazing in photos! Make sure also to take advantage of the sunlight in your backyard during the day. Find the balance between putting up shade and sunlight spaces to get your daily and healthy dose of Vitamin D.

Make it Party-ready

Make your backyard ready for intimate gatherings, or even just meals outdoors with your family! Place a small kitchen and dining area in your backyard. You can add a grill, counters, a cooler or small refrigerator, and outdoor dining table and chairs to complete your set up. If the space does not allow this, you may use a rolling bar cart and foldable furniture for an easy and portable arrangement

The post 4 Design Tips for Your Outdoor Space appeared first on Megaworld Global Estate.

Meditate

Meditation helps you be in control of running thoughts and get your attention to focus in the now. You can do it by sitting or lying comfortably while listening to your own breath while in silence or surrounded by calming music. You put your full attention to your own breathing. Just breathe naturally. Notice how your body feels at every inhale and exhale. This practice is one of the fundamental ways to practice mindfulness to have mental and emotional clarity. Best to start your day with this to set the tone right.

Have a journal

Writing your thoughts and feelings on a journal is a good practice of acknowledging every present moment. It could be listing down all the things that you are grateful for everyday, writing a poem, expressing a concept or describing an experience as one creative learning on how to live in the now. Writing affirmative positive statements also helps you wire your brain with good thoughts and great ideas.

Listen to music

Listening to music is one wonderful way to relax your senses and calm your body. When you are paying attention to every melody you are hearing, you also understand how your body responds to it. Music has a powerful effect to relax our body and mind.

Move

Letting your body do activities like yoga, stretching, running or workouts allows you to explore and feel sensations that your body experiences. Exercising the body is also a way of exercising the mind. Becoming more aware of how you control your mind and body during exercises improves your relationship with yourself as well.

Slow down

Mindfulness is also experienced when you are giving deliberate attention and careful thinking in everything that you do, savoring every feeling coming out in every experience and enjoying every process. Whether you are reading a book, brushing your teeth, eating your meal, getting dressed or writing a report, giving it an intense awareness is a good habit for sensible personal progress and avoid feeling overwhelmed.

Eat mindfully

Being conscious of what you eat and knowing its effects on your body is important. Every intake that you give to yourself has an impact on the way you think and perform. Healthy food will always boost your brain and help your body become stronger. It is best that we opt for good food, eliminate junk. Understanding your hunger or cravings and why it occurs also lets you become more wary of your bodily sensations. Give your food full attention, take away the presence of TV, gadgets and social media while savoring your food. This simple practice puts you in the quality of mindfulness.

Have a break

Taking a pause from your day to day busyness and treating yourself to a vacation or just by relaxing and not forcing yourself to accomplish tasks on hand will also help you become more conscious of the present moment. Let yourself explore cultures and new places or engage in fun adventures or treat yourself to a rejuvenating activity. When you feel in doubt, tired, stressed or just don’t know what to do, sometimes inactivity or a deep rest will help you feel better. When you give yourself a break, you let a space grow from within and stretches your creativity so you have more beautiful ideas when you get back on track.

Be easy with yourself

Always have compassion for yourself. Remind yourself that you are doing the best you can to live a life of purpose and be your best version. When you make a mistake, take with you the lesson rather than dwell on regrets. Be a good critic with yourself and avoid negative chatter. Let positive thoughts run in your mind when you ruminate. Be easy with yourself, we are all humans after all.

Be with nature

Spending time to connect and explore with nature helps one gain mindfulness. By simply appreciating its rawness and beauty, you use your senses in full acuity. You let your attention wander in nature whether simply feeling the coolness of the waters, appreciate the boon of trees, be challenged by stamina inducing hikes or just by letting oneself be in awe of glorious skyscapes. Being with nature helps one increase the ability to be receptive of our surroundings and its infinite inspiration.

Define zones

It helps best to make a plan of where you want particular items in your home to be placed. Once you are able to determine the purpose and design of each room including what it would contain like rugs, shelves, furniture, books, etc., decluttering and organization will be easier.

Glass and Mirrors

Aside from aesthetic touch, walls adorned with mirrors create an illusion of more space. It also makes a room look brighter because it helps reflect back light into space. Use of lucite materials such as glass table tops or glass partitions can also do the trick of wide views in your condo without sacrificing space and light.

Functional pieces

It is important to choose your furniture based on what you need more than what you want. Take note that these items will take up most of your condo space so it helps to make it light, minimalist, and useful enough for your home. Double or multi-purpose items will also be a great help in saving spaces such as shelves that could be used as dividers, or sleeper ottomans with drawers.

Plants

Since most condos rise in concrete jungles, gardens are seldom or never present. To bring more life into your own home, some indoor plants can dwell in blank spaces of your condo such as succulents and small pieces like snake plant, money plant, spider plant, areca palm, aloe vera, and a lot more. Aside from the fact that they make dull spaces alive, they also act as air-purifiers to clear out toxins circulating around your home in the city. Learn more about indoor gardening tips for your condo here.

Art pieces

Nothing completes a blank wall best than an art piece whether it is a painting, a collage of photos, or a sculpture. Art pieces will always make your home interesting and would define your style. Aside from sprucing up your home, art pieces can also be conversation starters and mood pacifiers. Planning to put some in your home will dare you in finding the best one to compliment the rest of your interior or putting up its layout right on your walls. Plus, these pieces will always be good investments as well.

Clean Spaces

Decluttering is the best way to make your home feel spacious. Making sure that surfaces are clean and organized will always create an airy ambience. Utilizing hanging shelves or floating racks adds a lot of storage and style without sacrificing too much space. Always remember that when a clean and orderly home is definitely a good home.

As we approach the half-year line for 2020, a lot has definitely changed in the past few months due to the COVID-19 pandemic. With it resulting into both a health crisis and an economic crisis, all of the industries have had to adjust to the new normal, including the Real Estate industry.

According to Real Estate expert Prof. Eric Soriano, what type of developments will thrive after this COVID-19 pandemic?

1. A township concept that promotes fully integrated mix-used development replete with all conveniences like office towers, dining strips, shopping and fitness centers, and a medical facility.
2. A walkable community that encourages continued home-working arrangement for residents.
3. A residential development that is fully contained, secured, enabled by technology and complemented by neighborhoods that promote health and well-being. Megaworld has long been incorporating these “New Reality” concepts through its Live-Work- Play-Learn Townships such as Southwoods City and Alabang West.

Surround yourself with green spaces

The color green, with its close association to (and a symbol of) nature, can alleviate the stress and anxiety we may feel at this time. It sure is great to live in a place that is surrounded by open spaces and flower and herb gardens (like the Upland Villas!) that can surely provide fresh air and ease the tension that cabin fever brings. If you live in condominiums, you may even consider taking up a little gardening to supply green in your unit. Property developers sure are riding on the trend and the need to incorporate green-living and eco-friendly details in their projects. Going green is the direction we all should take.

Accessibility to essentials is key to survival

With the strict implementation of the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ), many cities and barangays deploy checkpoints and regulate entry in certain areas. This means that living near markets, groceries, or convenience stores – especially if they’re walkable – proves to be an advantage. Of course, taking residence near hospitals and clinics may also ease our worries just in case of medical emergencies. Your place having everything you need within reach should be one of the top things to consider when finding a new home or investment.

Township Living is the way to go!

Low-density living surrounded by your essentials, while providing the complete live-work-play lifestyle? This is offered in all of Megaworld’s townships like Southwoods City and Alabang West. Townships are built across a large area of land with spacious exclusive villages and condominiums surrounded by everything you need within your reach like groceries, hospitals, drugstores, gasoline stations, and banks. In a health crisis like this, property management also ensures that residents are safe and secure in the comfort of their own homes. We are not prepared for a crisis like COVID-19, but townships pretty much are.
