Starting off outside, why not give your outdoor space a new look? The amount of time spent at home this year may have already been inspiration enough to make plans to revamp your garden. If not, this summer could be the perfect time to plan a big garden project. Depending on the space you have to work with, you can either make it a small project, or you can go all out and enjoy a total garden overhaul.
Beginning with furniture, there are a lot of great ways you can make your yard space a more relaxing place to be. In place of a standard table and chairs, why not get a little creative with your seating and create an area that you can spend long lazy summer days. Think big cushions, blankets for any cool breezes, and a nice space to share a meal.
Next, if you don’t already have one, a great addition to a garden is a barbeque area. There’s nothing quite like the smell of a grill in the summer, so getting an area where you can prepare food, keep drinks cool, and enjoy the smells of cooking is a great addition to your garden.
Adding some outdoor games to your yard is a great way to keep little ones entertained over the summer months. A little bit of DIY skill can leave you with a game of lawn Tic-Tac-Toe, Cornhole, Checkers, or even your own summer Mini-Golf course!
Space in any home, now a days, is valuable. Deciding to build a gazebo in your backyard has so many pluses, most of all, the extra living space that it will add onto your home. In addition to expanding the functional space of your home, they can come in a variety of shapes, sizes, colours and styles. There is one out there that would suit your home perfectly. With the ability to also close in the sides with canvas or glass, when needed, it can even be used in less optimal weather, such as wind and rain.
Landscaping is the easiest way to completely change the look of your home. It can turn a mediocre, plain house into one of the most beautiful sites on your street. Whether you are looking to add to your front yard, backyard or both, there are countless changes you can make. Here are a few things you can do to brighten up the outside of your home with landscaping.
You can add outdoor lights to almost any part of your yard. Light up your stairs, your pathways, hang lighting on the side of your house or from the trees, or even lanterns that stake into the ground. With so many options and styles of lighting, you can make your space your own and still enjoy it into the dark hours of the evening.
To give your yard a clean look, add edging to all your gardens. They are visually appealing and can be made of rock, wood, brick, stone, almost anything you want. They are a beautiful design feature and give your space a finished look. Not only that, but they will also help contain the soil or mulch in your flower beds.
A fire pit is a great addition to your backyard, creating a perfect gathering space. This way, you can stay outside even into the cooler hours of the evening and stay warm. Add some comfy seating and pillows to finish off the space.
With so many yard tools needed to create your perfect outdoor space, it can be difficult to find a place to put them. Think about getting a self storage unit to store all your supplies and keep them protected and out of the way until your next project.
One thing to consider when you are creating a comfortable, relaxing, and fun space to enjoy outdoors, is what to do when the winter arrives. Things like outdoor furniture, cushions, outdoor games and barbeques are all vulnerable to the weather. Having a safe storage space to store them is a great way to know you’ll be able to enjoy your outdoor space year after year.
One option that is great for seasonal items, such as garden furniture and accessories, is a storage unit. A storage unit is a safe and easy place to keep any items that you won’t need over the winter. Self storage can really help you to enjoy having a great summer garden while avoiding the clutter of storing it over the winter. Make sure you check what you can and can’t store first, such as propane tanks from your barbeque or any leftover perishables in coolers.
