When choosing location of features for your exterior design, first find the places that they will be most viewed from within the home. Also consider views that you may want to block or dead spaces that never get used or that are just plain boring. When possible, find exterior flooring that goes with the interior flooring. This will create a flow from the inside to the outside of the house, making them feel as one, and giving an expansive feeling to the home.
Using the footprint of the home is a great way to bring the exterior design and house together. In this picture, the walkway to the main entrance was boring and the footprint of this part of the house had no purpose. Now it has been transformed into a koi pond with spilling urns, planted palms and bromeliads in the pond, along with a custom wooden bridge to cross over the pond for the front entrance.
