In this courtyard, the designers have created a beautiful brick barbecue that is simple and blends in well with the wooden deck and green surroundings. This barbecue is a like a brick kiln with a grill attached on top. You can easily seat yourself at the edge of the deck and work your way around it so that you have a sumptuous meal. The rest of the space has been done up with proper landscaping and floral delights.

​2. Mix and match

While many designers and landscaping artists may say that you need to stick to one or two elements, this is not necessarily true for most courtyards. You can easily play with repurposed wood, florals, succulents, shrubs, trees and even stones and pebbles for an eclectic look. These elements will help the space come alive with a vibrant and natural quality.

​3. Cement to the rescue

Exposed cement can also be a good-looking and chic element one can use outside the home. Create a path with this material or do up a wall of exposed cement and let some lights play on it for an elegant effect. If you're using cement for a pathway, then remember to give it a rugged texture and line the sides with stones and shrubs.

​4. Raw driftwood and stone

One can also make use of raw driftwood and stone to fashion a look that resonates with nature at its best. This effect can be applied to a deck or trail, depending on the amount of space that you have. Line the sides with grass and shrubs for a wholesome green aesthetic.

5. ​Selection of plants
