The idea of a perfect outdoor space is different for different people or houses but there are a few features that can make an outdoor space of any size and shape better. This article describes some ways in which you can create the perfect outdoor space for the summer.
Add a Bright Color Focal Point
A summer is all about bright colors. You can add a bright color focal point to your outdoor space. This focal point can be a background wall, a piece of furniture or simply decorative accents. The best colors to enhance in your outdoor space are yellow, red, orange, green and blue but you can also merge your outdoor patio with nude natural tones as well. You can also sprinkle bright colors all over your outdoor space to make it more cheerful.
DIY Masonjar Lanterns
When it comes to the time spend in the outdoor spaces, summer afternoons are obviously popular but summer evenings are not far behind. In order to light up your summer evenings, you can create DIY Mason jar lanterns. They are really easily to make and there are tons of tutorials present on the internet.Decorate the outdoor patio with themed mason jar lanterns and see your outdoor space turn into a magical land. This idea would mostly appeal to the fans of A Midsummer’s Night Dream or Tinkerbell.
Hang an Outdoor Chandelier
Speaking of lighting, another great way to create a perfect outdoor space is an outdoor chandelier. Choose a simple candle chandelier, preferably built in wood and hang it with a rope and pulley from a tree. If trees are not present in your outdoor space, you can hang it with a custom made frame as well. The pulley enables you to adjust the height of the candlelit chandelier to create a romantic mood in your patio.
Add a Fire Bowl
A fire pit is a must for outdoor spaces regardless of the season however; most houses cannot accommodate a built-in fire pit due to less available land. But people with small backyards and patios can add a fire bowl instead of a fire pit. The fire bowls are made of stone and you can buy them easily at any shop. They are not hazardous and allow you to safely enjoy your summer evenings in your outdoor patio. They are especially perfect if you are hosting a BBQ party over the summer.
Create a Vertical Garden
An outdoor space is incomplete with the color green. It is easier for people with huge houses and plenty of outdoor space to play around with trees and gardens in order to create a perfect patio but people who live in crowded cities and congested houses cannot afford this. However, they can create a vertical garden instead of planting trees. A vertical garden with variety of colorful flowers can totally transform your outdoor space.
