Home is the ultimate oasis and with carefully well thought-out plans can transform empty spaces into a nook for meditation or other leisure pursuits, coupled with a personal architectural taste. For example, a part of our living spaces can house a mini garden to bask in sunshine or delight in a coolly shaded area, all to inspire happiness and relaxation for home occupants who relish a natural surrounding. Here are five interestingly designed outdoor couches that you can buy to add to your perfectly private cocoon.
