As the freezing darkness of winter begins to fade and yields to spring time warmth and flowers, we begin to feel the call of the outdoors. Soon the cold will be gone and short days will yield to beautiful evenings with later sunsets and daylight that lasts long after our work day is done. It’s a time of renewal and rebirth, as trees begin to blossom and leaves unfold, and tulips and spring flowers begin to emerge from the sweet earth.
One of the joys that comes with the arrival of warmer weather is the chance to escape the confines of our house and enjoy the time we spend outdoors. With a beautiful garden design and some lovely outdoor furniture, it’s possible to extend your living room to include fabulous outdoor space too. You can create a garden sanctuary that will be great for relaxation and fun times for you and your family.
Create a Backyard Oasis
With a beautiful garden, you can create a backyard oasis in the middle of a city or suburban environment. The lush greenery and flowering trees or plants will beckon you, your family and your friends to this lovely setting in the outdoors. Instead of just spending time in your living room, you’ll want to be outside enjoying the sweet spring or summer air and gazing with delight at all of the beauty there.
If you want to get the best flowers and greenery for your oasis, you should find a local greenhouse and source your plants from there. They’ll know exactly which annuals or perennials will thrive in your area, and will be able to recommend flowering plants and foliage that would work well to create your peaceful artist’s scene.
Set Up the Perfect Outdoor Entertaining Space
During the pandemic, houses started feeling way too small and confined. With folks working from home, kids attending school via Zoom and stay at home orders in place, there was little to no room to roam. People started looking upon their backyards as an untapped resource, and wondering how they could transform their outdoor space.
With an investment in some good quality outdoor furniture, you can make the most of your beautiful outdoor patio and garden. The comfortable loungers and seating will make being outside even more pleasurable than being your well-furnished living room.
Upgrade Your Outdoor Cooking and Dining Capabilities
The next step to take if you want to have your backyard become all it could be is to add outdoor cooking facilities. A wonderful grill is a good place to start, but you really begin to open up possibilities when you add a prep area, cooking surfaces and a sink and refrigerator.
You could top it all off with a pizza oven and entertain your friends with your own unique culinary creations.
From there, why not select a wonderfully big table for outdoor dining, along with comfortable chairs. Adding candlelight and perhaps an outdoor fountain or lanterns hanging in trees would further enhance the ambience.
