How to create your own backyard sanctuary in Western Australia.
Escaping to a little slice of heaven needn’t mean getting on a plane to far-flung destinations like Boracay or St. Tropez.
With more and more of us taking ‘staycations’ (a vacation spent locally or at home), creating a private oasis in the comfort of your own backyard can be an inexpensive way to take time out of our busy jobs without a passport.
There are many ways you can turn your outdoor living space into a resort-like dream you can escape to at the end of a long day and stressful day.
A themed oasis
The Haven by Ventura Homes.
Basing your design on a single theme lends a sense of continuity. The Balinese theme is popular and relevant in Australian gardens and can be easily re-created in your backyard. Use lush green foliage and tropical plants together with traditional stone, wood and natural materials.

Slice of North Africa
The Dynasty Display Home.
A Moroccan theme using richly coloured tiles and cushions can exude a Mediterranean look to your space. A Japanese ryokan-inspired design is also a beautifully exotic option.

Let there be light – and warmth
The Allure by Ventura Homes in Perth.
Enhance your backyard oasis with the glow of a cosy warm fire heater, whilst warding off the chill on cold nights. Aesthetics aside, make sure safety is a top priority by installing a screen and keeping kids and pets away from active flames.

Water features
A contemporary water feature can add to the ambiance and relaxation of an outdoor living space. Fountains are also very popular in Feng Shui as it’s an ancient symbol of wealth and prosperity.
