Those warm sunny days of summer are just around the corner, and spring is the season to spruce things up. This is the time to get outside, entertain, and relax, what better way than to have a cozy and functional outdoor space?

Here are 6 tips to spruce up your outdoor space.

INSPECT YOUR DECK:

Check your deck or patio space for needed repairs or upgrades. Cracked boards, titles or fittings and re-sanding your existing patios is the first step to creating that cozy space. Refinish the deck or make small repairs before your first scheduled party.

CREATE MULTIPLE AREAS TO ENTERTAIN:

Through the spring and summer, the parties seem to get bigger and better. Providing different spots for dining, relaxation or recreation gives your guests a room to breathe and enjoy the warm weather.

INCORPORATE OUTDOOR COOKING:

Setting up an entire station to entertain and cook a delicious meal is ideal. No more popping in and out of the house when you have the whole set-up right in front of you.

SPRUCE UP YOUR GARDEN:

Whether it’s a garden bed or planters scattered around, the blossoming plants add color and an enormous amount of enjoyment to your outdoor space.

UPDATE YOUR FURNITURE:

To ensure comfort means comfortable furniture. A plush outdoor sectional or a couple of cozy chairs will guarantee that your guests will want to keep the party going.

ADD LIGHTING:

Fairy lights or outdoor garden lights will keep the party going after the sun goes down. Make sure your outdoor space fits you in your lights, furniture, or even just your garden.

At the end of the day, this is your space to enjoy. Adding your own little bold statements will ensure that your guests know the space fits you.
