Functional Modern Landscape Design Inspiration

Postwar mid-century modern homes were designed to combine indoor and outdoor living. Homeowners were able to view their gardens through floor-to-ceiling windows and easily interact with the outdoor environment through sliding glass doors and patios at interior floor level. The landscaping of these homes was and remains clean and uncomplicated, with an emphasis on landscaping and the joys of outdoor living. Check out these mid-century modern-inspired landscaping ideas that can work in a variety of modern settings.
