If you didn’t fully utilize your backyard in Summer 2020, then you’re sure going to want to get the most use out of it this summer. Here are five ways that you can create a stay-all-day backyards:
Let’s say that you did get to improve your backyard last summer, maybe you’ve got the basics down. A few examples: you’ve got your grill, the shade was an absolute must, and your outdoor furniture. We’re going to spruce that up with a few more ideas for you to consider.
A Bar in the Yard
The great part about having an outdoor bar in your home is that you can customize it. We’re not talking about slapping beers into a fridge and calling it a day. No, we definitely want to take our time so that we never want to leave.
You can start by making your outdoor area an extension of your interior.
- Combine your bar into a kitchen and grill with an open concept.
- Create a space on your patio that is designated for a bar.
- Upgrade your fridge to one that gives you the option to see through the glass.
- A fully stocked bar cart is always a great accessory to add if you’re interested in mobility and flexibility.
Create Privacy
Privacy is an essential part of a relaxing outdoor room. Secluding the area with screens, walls, or fences of a preferred height will give your space a sense of mystery. Arbors and overhead roofs are also a feature that contributes to that feeling of seclusion while providing the necessary shade.
Design to Invite
Create a space that is your outdoor safe haven. Make a patio a place where you would want to spend time, taking in the sun, getting your daily exercise, reading, or hanging out with friends. Consider adding personal touches that make it uniquely yours.
Soft Lighting for the Night
Lighting is a backyard staple. Moody lighting will set the tone for a relaxing evening and winding down before the night is over. Some outdoor lighting can serve as a modern sculpture, a seating arrangement, or just a light fixture. You may want to consider an outdoor chandelier with angles. A geometric silhouette will add visual texture to any neutral space.
