Is your patio an extension of your home? If not, with these updates, you can take your entertaining outdoors, and with a larger renovation, you could even replace your kitchen,
living room and dining room with outdoor options. This care-free living and entertaining allows you to watch your children as they play, entertain free of spill-worry, and enjoy
the beautiful outdoors. With these ideas, you can take advantage of summer living:
-
Mingle – Eat outdoors with dining sets or bar tablesand enjoy family and friends withcouches or complete
conversation sets, complete with an
outdoor rug.
If there is enough space for everyone, this will be a space that is well used all summer long!
Relax – Lounge chairs
are ideal not only for tanning, but also for relaxing outdoors. You don’t need a pool to enjoy the relaxing outside.
-
Cozy Up – Fire pits offer warmth during the colder months,
but also allow for smores all year round-no camping required! Your guests will love gathering around one on chilly nights. Cozy
nest-style daybeds are perfect for naps and taking a break
from the sun, in addition to providing a huge statement.
-
Cook – Outdoor entertaining is easy with an outdoor kitchen. Although it requires a renovation, adding a counter, mini fridge, or stovetop can truly transform your outdoor entertaining.
-
Play – The kitchen and entertaining area are for the adults, but children (and children at heart) need places to play. This is where swing sets, sport goals or hoops, pools,
gardening, or other outdoor activities come to play.
Regardless of what you enjoy, make your outdoor area an extension of your home that you will enjoy all summer long.
