June 16, 2023

Are you ready to embrace the longer and warmer months of summer? This season brings a special energy inviting us to take bold and creative actions and say yes to fun in your outdoor space! 

Let’s channel this energy into our homes, starting with our outdoor spaces. Your outdoor area is an extension of your living space. Explore your creativity through gardening, hosting social gatherings, and connecting with nature for your well-being. 

Here are some ideas to make your outdoor space even more exciting and inviting. Get ready to enjoy the upcoming summer months!

#1 - Choose a Unique Lounging Chair for Outdoor Living

Create a comfortable seating area and focus on that one special lounging chair you’ve always wanted. Is it a hammock to make you feel like you’re on a tropical island? Or a hanging nest chair to read? Or maybe a swing? 

When selecting outdoor furniture, remember to choose weather-resistant materials.

#2 - Play with Colors in Outdoor Decor

Don’t be afraid to add bold colors to your outdoor decor. This is the perfect time and place to experiment. From colorful cushions to rugs with a fun pattern, make your outdoor space pop!

#3 - It’s S’mores Time!

Include a fire pit in your outdoor space to add both warmth and the opportunity to make delicious S’mores. It’s like camping in your own backyard. We told you it was meant to be fun! 

#4 - Hang String Lights for More Outside Time

We love the simplicity and magic string lights bring to a place. It just makes you want to hang out outside for longer!

#5 - Start a Vegetable Garden

Gardening is a fantastic way to connect with nature and yourself. Starting a vegetable garden doesn’t have to be complicated. Begin with herbs that you frequently use in your cooking and research the best vegetables to grow in your local area. 

It’s very satisfying to harvest the fruits of your labor and incorporate them into your meals.

#6 - Set Up Outdoor Games

Last but not least, what is more fun than outdoor games? Set up games like cornhole in your backyard for easy entertainment that will keep your guests busy for hours! 

Embrace the energy of the season. Add fun to your life by upgrading your outdoor space. Make it a vibrant and enjoyable place to spend time and create memories!
