Summer is just around the corner and outdoor hangouts are still the perfect way to enjoy (yet another) pandemic summer. With the CDC Lifting Restrictions Vaccinated person wearing masks outdoors is setting a backyard soiree on fire (see what I did there?). If you are lucky enough to have a garden or terrace, you can finally have more comfortable gatherings. However, before calling any vaccinated friends and family members, you should prepare the room and prepare it for a cozy meeting place. Here are some ways to spice up your space for a long-awaited garden party.
Decide what type of entertainment you want to offer
The decoration of your outdoor space should reflect your personality and the company you want to attract. If you and your friends love beer pong and cornhole, you might want to create a space inspired by the beer garden. My friends and family are big movie lovers, so I want to imitate an outdoor movie theme (If I had a back yard). Once you have your theme, it’s time to start decorating.
Choose your furniture
Once you’ve decided on a low key cocktail party theme, there’s no need to buy large patio furniture. a few Adirondack chairsA coffee table and a couple of side tables would be enough. If you’re looking for a comfortable hangout where people can talk for hours and enjoy the summer nights, comfy couch-style cuts are a great choice. Better houses & gardens also suggests buying rugs outdoors for a pop of color and making the space more inviting for longer hangings.

My family loves to dine al fresco so there is a large wooden table in our dream back yard for cooking and a good sturdy umbrella for shade. If you are on a budget, all you need is a nice folding table with a decorative tablecloth. If you’re handy, you can Build your own table– even one with one built-in beverage cooler.
Don’t skimp on the details
Fairy lights are the easiest and most aesthetic way to go to decorate any backyard or patio space. Fairy lights create a mood for any style you’re looking for, but they’re only one detail when it comes to outdoor entertainment.
Speakers are another way to bring the party to the back yard. You can purchase a couple of outdoor bluetooth speakers as a portable option and choose speakers that suit your aesthetic. Some speakers are twice as big as Tiki torches (of course without fire) and others can merge like rocks with the landscape. If you have the budget, you can install too Speaker systems around your garden for a more permanent and integrated music experience.
The sun plays a huge role in your outdoor lounge area. You should therefore design shadow areas for your guests. However, if you buy the smallest pergola yourself, you can make around $ 200. Instead, I suggest treating the space like the beach, creating shade with umbrellas and tent structures. Attach canopy cloths to your outside wall to create a shaded seating area – you can find them online for just $ 19. The home decoration office House beautiful recommends using all white bedding to reflect light and keep your patio cool.
Fire pits are a plus
Roasting marshmallows over the fire is no longer just for camping (for me, it’s all year round). Depending on the space requirements and needs, there are different ways to create a fire pit in your garden. The traditional way requires cement blocks and a bit of masonry. But there are also many fire pits that can be bought online and are ready for immediate use. Hundred dollars What you get is a movable fire pit that burns wood and can be placed anywhere in your yard, as long as the ground is level and you consider protecting your deck or yard.
If you have a city balcony or small outdoor area, you can purchase smoke-free canisters to recreate the feel of a fire pit. Products like City fire are miniature jars that you can use to fry marshmallows and items like Solo stove are larger portable fire pits that are great for camping or moving around in a back yard.
