This lake house porch uses a palette of neutrals, blues and greens to incorporate the client’s favorite color: turquoise. A bead board ceiling, woven wood blinds, wicker ceiling fan and outdoor grass rug set the stage for Indonesian rain drum tables and a vintage turquoise planter.

Bamboo fencing is just what you need to bring the tropics home, both indoors and outside. Our versatile bamboo fencing rolls and screen panels are perfect as indoor barriers and room dividers or for covering a wall, ceiling or window. To use bamboo fencing outside, build a tropical outdoor structure like a tiki bar, fence or border by attaching multiple bamboo panels for an authentic exotic look. At Backyard X-Scapes, we offer long-lasting, high-quality bamboo fencing and accessories at reasonable prices. Our bamboo fencing rolls are made of durable Tonkin cane from southeast China. This bamboo stalk has strength equivalent to cedar wood. When you employ bamboo as opposed to traditional hardwoods, you not only achieve a unique and elegant look, you also help preserve the environment. Bamboo is a strong and durable natural resource that grows quickly, making it the most versatile renewable resource on earth. For more ideas about how to use our bamboo fences, bamboo screen panels and bamboo rolled fencing, view a selection of creative bamboo applications in our installation gallery. For example, coordinate your new bamboo fence panels with tiki statues, bamboo area rugs, bamboo furniture, tiki poles or a beautiful bamboo tiki bar. Our outstanding selection of bamboo products will turn your home or yard into a tropical paradise ready for relaxation or entertaining.

Great room - large contemporary bamboo floor great room idea in New York with beige walls

The unique design challenge in this early 20th century Georgian Colonial was the complete disconnect of the kitchen to the rest of the home. In order to enter the kitchen, you were required to walk through a formal space. The homeowners wanted to connect the kitchen and garage through an informal area, which resulted in building an addition off the rear of the garage. This new space integrated a laundry room, mudroom and informal entry into the re-designed kitchen. Additionally, 25” was taken out of the oversized formal dining room and added to the kitchen. This gave the extra room necessary to make significant changes to the layout and traffic pattern in the kitchen. Beth Singer Photography

the bamboo is a clumping variety called Bambusa eutuldoides viridi-vittata , Asian lemon bamboo. This variety is a clumper and you do not need to contain it, however, do allow an 8'by 10' area for its ultimate growth. Bamboo does require constant maintenance and you will need to do some research for the specific variety you choose. Once planted, it will become a beautiful focal point and add a stunning tropical accent. Photo Credit: Sherwood Cox
