The Outdoor Living Room 
# "p HE idea of designing and furnishing the grounds about the home so they will be 
A livable as well as beautiful, reveals the desire to get the most out of our daily 
living, for we all wish to secure the largest degree of comfort, of rest and recreation, 
which our own grounds can give us. Few grounds are so small that the owners cannot 
enjoy the gracious living which attractive grounds provide. 
Two essentials of an outdoor living room are, first, privacy, and second, livability, 
and these essentials are not difficult to achieve. It is Nature which helps us to achieve 
the first essential—privacy. Living walls of greenery shut out unsightly views and 
surround our outdoor activities with a protective screen. Trees provide comforting 
shade. Soft, springy sod affords a carpet of green underneath our feet. Flowers and 
berries introduce color, fragrance and decoration. 
To make the garden room livable one must give thought to its arrangement and 
to providing features of interest which are necessary for comfort, relaxation and 
which establish an inviting home-like atmosphere. 
A simple, yet comprehensive, procedure in planning and developing the “outdoor 
living room” or “private area” is to consider the various stages of the plan in this 
order—shrubs for screen and background; the lawn; shade trees; flowers; and archi¬ 
tectural features, as seats, lattice fences, arbors, etc.
