How to Create a Perfect Backyard Getaway

Understand the Location Assets and Use Them Wisely

A big part of creating a remarkable outdoor space is knowing the climate and weather. Either way, one of the biggest mistakes we see made is failing to prioritize shade in your patio design.

During the warm spring and summer months, shade is a necessity. If you and your guests have nowhere to go when the weather heats up, it can render your patio completely unusable.

Make sure to add adequate umbrellas, rooftops, or outdoor curtains. Utilize angles and plan to block the sun at specific times. You won’t regret it.

Incorporate Interesting Accessories & Extras

The sky’s the limit when it comes to decorating your backyard getaway, so let your imagination run wild. Water features such as fountains, outdoor showers, ponds, and pools can make an impressive focal point and provide additional freshness during a hot day. If the available space permits, consider adding a fire pit. It will beautifully extend the outdoor season once the summer is over.

During summer, a fire pit can double as mini barbecues or even serve as a coffee table. When colder months set in, it will provide warmth and light, creating a cozy and romantic atmosphere under the stars.

Using backyards as a canvas for lavish dining experiences has become a practice highly sought after in the last few years. Think of installing a captivating outdoor kitchen where you can hang out with loved ones surrounded by nature, making the most out of the glorious weather.

Add some brightly colored cushions and throws for extra comfort, along with area rugs to define different spaces. String lights, lanterns, and candles always create a magical atmosphere. Finally, bring all elements together with some art and crafts. Whatever you choose, be sure that it reflects your personal style and taste.
