What is Outdoor Living?
An outdoor living space is an extension of your indoor lifestyle. Most Outdoor living spaces include a deck and extend into your backyard. It’s a beautifully designed and functional space that fits your lifestyle.
5 Ways to Use Your Deck
With fourth of July around the corner, summer is in full swing. You want to be outside as much as possible and use that beautiful deck to its full potential. Here are 5 creative ways to use your deck this summer.
Host a Pool Party
Summer days can get very hot. Crowded pools or lakes can be a little much when all you want to do is relax too. If you don’t own a pool you can buy an inflatable pool for a reasonable price and set it up next to your deck or on top of it. Got kids? Let them play with the hose, splash water around and get crazy. They’ll be occupied for a good while so that you can enjoy that adult beverage in a pool.
Hold a barbecue outside
Make the most of your time outside by enjoying a meal with your family or friends. Choose vegetables and fruits in season, grilled up chicken, steaks, veggie burgers whatever your heart desires. Buy a large pitcher for summer drinks like lemonade or sweet tea. Invest in an outdoor dining table or a foldable one to keep things simple. Use your space to its full potential by setting on the deck steps, couches, etc.
Camp out on your deck
Want to make the most of your deck space? Use it to camp under the stars. Use your sofa cushions from your deck furniture, bring out sleeping bags, pillows, blankets and more to enjoy the outdoors with your family. Turn off all the lights and pretend that you are on a camping trip. If it rains or gets too cold you can always return to your rooms inside. Its a fun way to bond and spend time together from your own backyard.
Enjoy a Campfire
Enjoy quality time around a fire pit on your deck or in your backyard with s’mores, ghost stories and quality time. You can easily add a fire pit on your deck or create one in your backyard. You won’t regret the memories created around a campfire. Enjoy those cool summer nights by the fire and with friends and family.
Family Movie Night
Outdoor living is an extension of your indoor living so why not bring the big screen outside? Hang a sheet and project a movie outside with your family. Get comfortable on your deck space with popcorn and blankets and just enjoy being together under the cool summer night.
