OUTDOOR ENTERTAINING SPACE: chic, classic and relaxing

It’s important to make your outdoor ideas a place that is a memorable one for both your family and guests. To get a my relaxing outdoor living ideas. I had to make the furniture comfy and relaxing. I felt a setting like this would make family and guests feel like they were at a resort.

 

Relaxing Outdoor Living Ideas

 

Here is some outdoor patio ideas!

 

OUTDOOR ENTERTAINING SPACE: chic, classic and relaxing

 

  1. The dining set is one of the most important pieces of furniture for outdoor living space. It’s the spot where your family and guests sit and chat, while enjoying their food and cocktails. I personally like the look of teak wood in outdoor furniture. Lumens has some amazing outdoor furniture pieces that will create this look of resort living.

 Lighting

2. Lighting is so key for creating a beautiful outdoor living space for your guests. Not only that, but it also makes it possible to continue spending time outside with your family and friends even after the sun goes down!

OUTDOOR ENTERTAINING SPACE: chic, classic and relaxing

 

I chose to utilize lighting throughout the pathways. This was part of the outdoor design ideas. We designed the paths so that they led to our entertaining spaces outdoor. To highlight certain trees and garden areas, we added spot lights. For a simple solution that requires no hard-wiring, solar path-lights are a smart option, and stylish too. Consider adding them to hard-to-reach areas, where it would normally be costly to add traditional landscape lights.

 

OUTDOOR ENTERTAINING SPACE: chic, classic and relaxing

 

Adding string lighting for night time parties and gatherings. It’s a great way to add to the overall outdoor design ideas. Night time is a relaxing time and I guarantee people won’t want to leave!

    Maria, you’ve created such a welcoming outdoor space! Who wouldn’t want to sit by the fire pit or enjoy next to the fire pit or enjoy a glass of wine under the twinkle evening lights. You nailed the resort ambiance!
