Having a cozy, relaxing patio can really come in handy during the summer when you want to enjoy the outdoors with friends and family. Here are some simple tips that can really transform your outdoor space and bring it all together:
- Create a spot to gather: a good way to get started on any outdoor decorating is creating a space in the backyard for friends and family to hang out. This can be anything from a fire pit, a shady tree, fountain or sculpture, a favorite piece of artwork, etc. Wherever your favorite part of your backyard is, place seating to attract attention and create a welcoming spot to hangout.
- Use Trees to Hang Lighting: Another unique tip is to use trees in your backyard to provide light. Trees aren’t put to any use at night mainly because there is never enough light around them to attract attention. Christmas lights and candles can be hung from them to brighten up your yard in creative spaces.
- Hang up a hammock or swing: Hanging a hammock is one of the easiest ways to add a new and personal area to a patio. You can find hammocks in different styles and creative ways of hanging them in all sorts of places!
