Summer might already be in full swing, but there’s still time to prepare your outdoor entertaining space for summer fun! Enjoy the sunshine, warm weather, and fun with friends and family with these five summer upgrades!
Add A Fire Pit
Nothing says summer quite like making s’mores around a fire pit. Fire pits create a perfect designated hangout spot where guests can relax and talk with each other. Take it one step further by adding lighting around the fire pit for ambiance. Whether you add your fire pit on your deck or patio or create your own out in the backyard, it’s sure to be a popular spot for guests!
Entertain With An Outdoor Bar
If a full-blown outdoor kitchen isn’t in the budget, add a bar cart or moveable bar for easy entertaining! No more needing to go in and out of the house for drinks, and you can easily keep the conversation going with your guests. Add a built-in refrigerator or cooler, and you have an easily assembled bar corner!
The bar can also double as a grilling or fire pit station where you can keep your grilling utensils, plates, condiments, and s’mores items.
Create A Covered Space
Add a pergola or covered patio to beat the summer heat and scattered showers. While most people love spending time in the sun, giving your guests options and multiple spaces to congregate is nice, especially for older guests or children.
Add A Hammock
Looking for the ultimate relaxation for your backyard? Add a hammock! On the days when it’s not scorching hot outside, and there’s a nice wind blowing, grab a good book or take a nap out on the hammock.
Don’t Be Afraid To Go Bold
Summertime is the perfect time to accent your outdoor space with bold colors and your own style. Adding a bright umbrella, patterned cushions, and bold planters with beautiful flowers are great ways to add color to your space. Pillows and blankets can also make the space more cozy and be used during cooler summer nights.
