It's Patio Season!!
Tis the season for grilling and hanging out in your own backyard oasis! What's that? Your backyard is not an oasis? Here's some tips to get you there :)
It's all about the vibe! I personally prefer a funky color scheme mixed with natural elements.
1. Pillows Everywhere! - Try to create several chatting/sitting areas in your backyard. The easiest and cheapest way to do this is with pillows and textiles. There are several super easy hacks you can find online to help you build out some cute and functional sitting areas.

2. Dining Area - Make sure you have a designated eating/dining area preferably under a covered area if you have one to help keep the wind and bugs away while you munch.
3. Provide Shade - Provide shaded areas where you can with tree's, umbrellas, and make-shift gazebo's. There's nothing better than relaxing in the shade on a hot summer day. Pop a hammock up between some shady trees, kick back, and relax!
3. Beverage Station - Don't forget your beverages! Create a cooler stacking area where you and your guests can reach for your favorite cold beverages on a hot day. See inspiration here: https://www.diynetwork.com/how-to/outdoors/patios-and-decks/how-to-build-an-outdoor-beverage-station
4. Let There be Light! - Don't forget the lighting! That's possibly the most important part. Twinkle out your deck in the evening to provide some ambient lighting. Don't forget to fire up the fire pit for the flicker of a real flame!
In these crazy times, we're probably going to be spending most of the summer at outdoor activities so you might as well make your backyard the HOT spot!
