Lush greenery, comfy lounging spaces, warm lighting, and shade can make your backyard feel extra cozy and inviting. We’ve got some practical tips to create a stylish backyard oasis that ticks all the right boxes. Whether you’re having a cocktail party or throwing a casual brunch for friends, consider these ideas to create a welcoming and intimate atmosphere
Thoughtful landscaping
All backyards benefit from carefully selected greenery. Plants can dramatically alter the mood of a space, bringing color and layers of texture. Taller shrubs and climbing vines function as privacy screens, making your patio feel stylish and cozy. Look for plants suited to your local climate for a low-maintenance décor that provides a welcoming ambiance near outdoor seating areas.
Provide shelter
If you want an inviting ambiance for outdoor dining, socializing, and relaxing, a custom patio cover is a perfect option. Designed with your lifestyle and preferences in mind, these powder coated aluminum structures define your outdoor space and come in a variety of colors and styles.. With the ability to open and close the louvers, this adds protection from rain and can transform your patio into a charming outdoordining space.. The louvered roofs include LED lighting, , ceiling fans, heaters, misting systems, and even small speakers.
Comfortable lounging areas
While a hammock epitomizes backyard relaxation, this vacation staple can be augmented with other seating options. Whatever type of furniture you select, comfort is always a top priority. A cocoon chair–which seats up to three adults–is a stylish option that blends well with many different themes. If you aren’t ready to invest in new outdoor furniture, add some pouf cushions for seating, colorful rugs, and throw blankets for added comfort and interest.
Warm up the space with lights
The right lighting will not only help you enjoy your backyard after the sun sets, but it will also create a lovely space for your outdoor gatherings. You can keep entertaining your family and guests long into the evening hours with ambient lighting. For the best effect, use a variety of lighting layers, but remember to match the color temperature (choose warm lights in the 1,000 – 5,000 Kelvin range) of all fixtures.
Create a cozy backyard patio for all seasons
Wherever you call home, a cozy backyard patio will provide years of enjoyment throughout the changing seasons.. With the right touches, you can create a private, inviting escape.
