Have you been dreaming about how to transform your outdoor space to a beautiful, Instagram-worthy area to relax and entertain? With outdoor gatherings being one of the safer ways to spend time with friends and family, make your outdoor space the place to be. I have 8 ideas to make your backyard the coziest, comfiest place on the block to enjoy all year long.

1) Patio or Deck?

Both a patio or deck are great options for outdoor living. Choose which option works best for your budget and lifestyle.

 

 

 

2) Add a Pergola

3) Create an Outdoor Kitchen

Having a grill, mini-fridge and sink can really level up your outdoor family BBQ.  

 

 

 

 

4) Cozy Up by the Fire

Having either a gas-powered or wood fire pit gives you year-round opportunities to enjoy your outdoor living space. A Gas powered fire pit offers a more intimate space to share conversations, drinks and your favorite people while a wood fire pit give off a backyard bonfire vibe. 

 

 

5) Choose the Right Lights

Edison bulbs help provide a more timeless look that sets a warm and comforting glow to your outdoor living. Hanging them also provides light to an otherwise smaller space such as decks or balconies.

 

 

 

6) Plant a Garden

Gardens are beautiful to look at, useful, and fun for the whole family. If you have limited space, consider a wall of herbs or smaller-sized plants for your balcony or deck. Be creative, plants are great for our moods and over all health!

 

 

 

7) Decorate a Plain Exterior Wall

Cover an empty exterior wall with a vertical planter or beautiful, meaningful art pieces.  

 

 

 

 

8) Privacy Hedges

If you would like more privacy consider using greenery as a natural barrier instead of or in front of a fence or wall.
