As the warm weather is rolling in, it’s time to have fun outdoors. But with the current pandemic, your schedule might have changed and resided to spend most days at home. Here are some fun ways you can enjoy your outdoor area.
Missing the beach? Set up an outdoor lounge space on your patio or maybe your yard to feel the tropical vacation you’re looking for. You can look online or at your Target for lounge chairs, hammocks, and outdoor sectionals to create that unique outdoor-lounge feel.
To have that extra comfort, throw in a bed frame, futon mattress, outdoor fabric cover, and a couple of pillows. And to complete the look, add some side tables, candles, and maybe some booze
Have your own movie theater in your backyard that won’t be really complicated and expensive. All you need is a white sheet mounted on a flat surface, a projector mounted, and your phone to play those series or movies.
Round up your patio chairs, or maybe layout a picnic blanket with some throw pillows to create that comfy vibe. Make some popcorn and grab some drinks and enjoy the night.
Make an Outdoor Bar
Nothing says fun than with a couple of drinks. Turn your outdoor space into a bar with repurposed old table or desk — or even get crafty with some cinder blocks, concrete glue, and a few 1 x 6 boards to create your very own bar.
Get those Bluetooth speakers and crank up those tunes with your favorite cocktails, and have a fun tipsy night or afternoon.
Upgrade your Barn or Shed
A bard or a shed is where your stuff is shoved up, but it doesn’t have to be dull. You can put a pop of color, and add some shutters, flower boxes, a stone path, and some string lights to spice it up.
DIY Fire Pit
If you can’t take the time to go camping, you can try making your fire pit and surround it with tents, foldable chairs, and fun camping activities. And don’t forget the marshmallows to toast on the open campfire.
Make a Dining Destination
Maybe you have been an incredible chef over the years; you can spice up your dinner at home by making an alfresco dining destination in your backyard or patio. You can add a rug, candelabra, and some fairy lights or string lights to set up the mood.
