Even though summer is winding to a close, you may find yourself outside more often than not. With temperatures dropping, enjoying your outdoor space is more comfortable now in the late summer and early fall months than ever before! If you weren’t able to create the perfect outdoor space for you and your family this summer, there is still time! We’ve thought up a few additional ideas for you as you work to plan out the perfect outdoor space. If you missed our first post, make sure to go back and read it – it is chalk full of more great outdoor ideas!
If you love to cook, creating an outdoor kitchen and dining space may be the ideal way to make the most of your outdoor oasis. Forget the numerous trips inside to grab what you need. Instead, you’ll have everything you need outside, and a place to dine, allowing you to cook and entertain all at once! If installing an outdoor kitchen is out of the question or budget, a bar cart is a great alternative. A side table is also a great option as you can use it as a buffet set up for serving.
Wicker elements always give off strong natural, outdoor vibes. They’re practical and beautiful, offering a win win on the design front. There are lots of options to choose from too, depending on your style and budget!
Similar to the outdoor kitchen idea, if you can’t fit both in the budget, a bar may be the perfect choice to opt for. A small outdoor bar can require less maintenance and equipment too, which is important to consider.
Garden stools are a perfect way to add a little pop of color to your outdoor space. They are fun and inviting and offer a decorative way to incorporate more seating in case you’re entertaining lots of company!
Creating a practical and comfortable outdoor space for you and family can help extend your home – giving everyone more space! During these crazy times we have been in, I have definitely used my porch as my multipurpose room; dining, office and tv watching! What are your favorite ways to bring the comforts and conveniences of the indoors, outside?
Homeowners are prioritizing their outdoor kitchens and living rooms, often including them as part of their renovation project.
