Backyard Goals: Where European Style Meets Texas Living

If you’ve ever caught yourself daydreaming about turning your backyard into your own private resort, you’re going to love this project from Christine Gee of G. Interiors in Southlake, Texas.

Originally from Belgium, Christine’s clients wanted an outdoor space that honored their European roots. Their goal was to create a place where family gatherings, lazy mornings, and sunny afternoons would all feel right at home.

Considering a lot of their favorite European brands aren’t available stateside, Christine got creative. She sourced pieces that still captured that elevated European vibe and were also durable enough to handle Texas heat, storms, and everything in between. Think beautiful, high-end outdoor brands that are chic, functional, and built to last.

Another must for this project? Sustainability. Christine leaned on Mamagreen for their eco-friendly approach! Their pieces use recycled and recyclable materials, so the clients could stay true tot heir values without sacrificing style. It’s proof that you really can have it all: great design, durability, and sustainability.

Designing a lakefront property definitely has its challenges. Think strong UV rays, humidity, and some tricky layouts. But, Christine made it look effortless. She created distinct zones throughout the yard, each with its own unique vibe and purpose, yet everything flows together in a way that just feels right.

This project is proof that your outdoor space deserves just as much love as your interiors! Whether you’re dreaming of a new terrace, patio, or poolside retreat, and IDS designer can help bring your ideas to life!
