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
This slatted structure is a beautiful way to add some shade to shelter you from our blistering Texas sun. You can ea
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.
