Having a garden or a small outdoor space sometimes makes it difficult for us to be able to enjoy free time with our family. This limited area has always been a problem that is often encountered in urban dwellings or houses without a large yard. However, the time is now to venture out and enjoy what you have, even if the space you have is really cramped.
It’s time to ditch the layers and embrace the sunshine. There are lots of refreshing outdoor ideas with entertainment areas that you can enjoy with your family and closest friends, from building a comfortable reading nook for your privacy to hosting a fun dinner party on a sunny day. In the following I’ve rounded up eight beautiful ways to set up your outdoor space for relaxing and entertaining.
1. Outdoor dining table
Add a wooden pergola above an outdoor table and you will be protected from too much sun. Adjust your table setting to suit the surrounding garden landscape by placing a wooden table and chairs in bright green. An industrial pendant lamp enhances the look of your outdoor table perfectly.
2. Cozy outdoor reading nook
A lush corner of your garden can be turned into a serene retreat. Place comfortable outdoor furniture, layer it with pillows, and complete the setting with a small table for refreshments and a good book. Blankets are a great addition to keeping you warm at night.
3. Hammocks
You don’t have to travel far to have a nice outdoor picnic. Invite your loved ones to relax outdoors by placing comfortable outdoor furniture and rugs. Hang a hammock, cover it with pillows and blankets, then place it in your favorite garden corner.
4. Outdoor living room
A nice set of furniture will welcome you and your guests through many summers. Create a fun entertaining space with cushy cushions and soft seating. Add a table to accommodate everything needed and cover everything with an aesthetic outdoor rug.
5. Entertainment area with garden swings
Not just a place to rest and relax, outdoors can also be turned into a play area. Make easy DIY projects with garden swings that kids will love too. Playing time outside will be much more enjoyable.
6. Cover the outdoors with greenery
Add texture to the outdoors with lush greenery. Use tropical themed plants for a refreshing holiday vibe. The bamboo tree is our favorite tropical plant with a lovely shaded effect, or create interest with a collection of different plant species. Place a set of comfortable chairs to relax and enjoy all that you have.
7. Add rustic elements
Choose a wooden table with a rustic accent, and balance it with a rattan chair and swing set. Soften the look with plant pots, and keep it natural without overly accessorizing. This rustic atmosphere will make anyone feel at ease when outside.
8. Outdoor shower
There’s nothing more refreshing than taking a shower on a hot day outside. Create a refreshing oasis with an outdoor shower enclosed by a small, lush garden.
