Now that
the summer is here, the heat makes everyone lazy and thoughts turn to
outdoor recreation. If you don't want to pack up to travel to a beach
or park, it's time to figure out how to turn your backyard into party
central. These simple ideas can turn your ho-hum backyard into a
place everyone wants to be.
Places
to Sit and Gather
Those
webbed lawn chairs from your grandmother just aren't comfortable.
Invest in resin or wicker furniture that is affordable and
lightweight. Include tables and seating so people can sit with a
drink or snack and socialize. Add an umbrella for shade on the
hottest days of the year. Another great shady option is a portable
gazebo. If you have a scenic view of the garden, lake, or woods, put
a bench or swing right by the pretty area so people can enjoy it.
Getting
Wet
Everyone
likes to get wet in the summer and water features bring a relaxed and
fun-loving vibe to your yard. Put up a small bird bath where the
birds can cool off and you get a view of them in their natural
habitat. Consider an inflatable water slide if you have little ones.
This will provide them with hours of joy on a hot summer afternoon.
Everyone can cool off in a portable pool, with inflatable and
hard-sided options for any budget. There are also inflatable and
portable hot tubs to add a luxurious element to your outdoor living
space.
Outdoor
Kitchen Area
Your
outdoor kitchen area can be as posh or simple as your budget and
preferences permit. Consider a gas grill with a long side table. This
is a place where you can cook and put out foods and appetizers.
Summer is the ideal time for hot dogs, cheeseburgers, CheeseSticks,
and salads. Make there is a place for a cooler to hold soda, water
bottles, and wine. Include a side table for wine boxes and an ice
bucket. You'll always be ready for a instant party when the mood
strikes!
Glorious
Gardens
Even if
you don't have a green thumb, you can buy beautiful potted plants in
ceramic and cement planters. They add a touch of life to patios,
decks, and backyard living areas. Seasonal flowers make everyone want
to smile. From daisies to mums, the flower reflects the time of the
year. Hang some planters with tomatoes and herbs so you can use fresh
ingredients in your barbecued fare.
Get Your
Game On
A
backyard is even more enjoyable when you have toys for kids and
adults. Consider a slide and swings, horseshoe game, Bocce ball, a
basketball net, and a volleyball net. This will get everyone moving
after those weight barbecues. Portable outdoor showers and portable
potties are ideal for times when you don't want people traipsing
through your house.
With
some thought and effort, your backyard can become the ultimate
stay-cation zone at home. Plus, you'll be eager to share it with the
people you love!
