There’s more to backyard entertaining than fun in the sun. The right layout, features and aesthetic choices can transform a normal outdoor get-together into a truly memorable occasion for your guests. If you’re in need of fresh backyard entertainment ideas, consider these options for your space:
Turn a greenhouse into an outdoor living room
You could be living in the winter in a location where temperatures are low, but you have a great option to keep cozy outdoors while also having good protection. Find a large greenhouse and fill it with comfortable furniture and potted plants.
Even if it’s raining or snowing outside, you can still enjoy this beautiful indoor-outdoor space by using blankets, pillows, comforters or a patio heater.
Channel a resort experience with a poolside dining area
If you have a pool in your backyard, consider some upgrades to make a luxurious resort in your own home. Set up an informal, comfortable bar and seating area for easy transition from swimming to snacking.
Add a TV or comfy pillows to the mix, and you can create a custom resort feel right at home.
Create your own botanical garden
The right choice of plants can go a long way toward creating a great backyard entertainment space. Try surrounding your outdoor dining or seating area with elegant matching planters full of a variety of flowers and plants. Include your own herb garden for fresh outdoor cooking ingredients and extra greenery.
Whether you’re hosting a giant garden party or a cozy get-together, using these ideas as starting points will help you create a truly unique and memorable outdoor living experience.
