Turning A Garden into an Outdoor Entertainment Space
The yard is the perfect space to entertain - when the weather is good, at least. After all, it’s much more enjoyable to sit out in the sun, breathing in fresh air and enjoying the sights of nature than it is to be stuck inside staring at the same four walls.
Of course, if the garden is not set up for entertaining, it might not be all that comfortable to have a cookout or a cocktail party. The good news is that it’s pretty easy to do something about it. Here are our favorite add-ons to get the most of your outdoor square footage.
A patio or deck
Installing a patio or decking will give a base to place garden furniture and sit with good friends over dinner and drinks or snacks. It’s cleaner and more stable than the lawn, and leaves you with more open space so you can enjoy the garden without having to worry about muddy feet or sinking chairs.
An outdoor bar
Having an outdoor bar is a must for regular outdoor entertainers, so it is not surprising that more and more people are installing them, Just think how much fun it will be to be able to serve guests homemade cocktails from over the bar on a special party night. It will really set the right vibe and ensure everyone has an amazing time.
An outdoor bar can be a big add-on, or a minor one as well, just depending on how elaborate you want to get. A nice outdoor table with shelves or outdoor bar cart with a luxe drink cooler would suffice as well.
An outdoor kitchen
Of course, no party is complete without something to eat, so installing an outdoor kitchen complete with a grill will help to really get the party going. Cook, eat and have a great time without guests having to pile in and out of the house every five minutes, which will help to keep things flowing more smoothly.
A pool
Nothing says party like a pool party. If you have the square footage, a visit with Premier Pools & Spas will make you the most popular family on the block. Play fun pool games, jump in for a dip when the heat gets too hot, and have an amazing time relaxing in the warm water without having to share it with so many other people like you have to do at the public pools and even beaches. Total privacy to swim in peace is where the party is at.
Add some lights
Of course, the best parties go on long into the evening, so find a good set of solar fairy lights and wind them around your fence, hang them on canopies above your patio and ensure your guests are treated to a pretty light show as they have a great time.
With a few simple tweaks - big or small, the yard can be transformed into an outdoor entertainment space that is perfect for parties, long lunches, and anything else you can think of to do with good friends and family for company.
