There is nothing quite like spending summer evenings relaxing or entertaining in your outside space. If you want to make long summer evenings spent in your backyard extra special you can turn it into a really fancy space.
There are many outdoor features that can add a sense of comfort and luxury to your backyard. Here are five ideas to give you some inspiration.
Install a Luxe shower
A luxe shower can be the perfect place to cool off on a warm summer’s day. It can also be a relaxing place to spend time after a long day at work. Â If you decide to install a luxe shower in your backyard, there are several things you may want to consider, including:
- Use wood where possible so that the shower blends in with its natural surroundings.
- Use a shower head that makes you feel as though you are standing under a tropical rain shower.
- Install seating in the shower for a true sense of relaxation and luxury.
Create a pergola
Pergolas come in many different shapes and sizes. You can create a simple structure that is designed to create shade in areas, such as over a hot tub. Alternatively, you can choose a more complicated pergola design that gives you extra entertaining space outdoors.
When you are creating a pergola do not forget to keep it natural. You may want to include trailing flowers on the outside of the pergola.
Put up a yurt
Putting up a yurt in your backyard is a great way of turning it into a more luxurious space. The best thing about a yurt is that it’s practical as well as looking good.
Depending on how much room you have, you can put up a yurt that is big enough to use as an outdoor entertaining space. You can even hang out in the yurt when the weather is cooler because they are surprisingly well insulated. Having a yurt in your backyard is also useful when people come to stay. They have their own separate sleeping space already set up.
Create an outdoor kitchen
There are two good reasons for creating a kitchen in your backyard. Firstly, well designed outdoor kitchens look amazing. Secondly, it’s more practical to be able to cook close to your outdoor seating area. This is especially the case when you are entertaining friends and family.
When you are designing a kitchen for your outdoor space do not forget to keep a natural feel. Choosing wooden cabinets and stone worktops can help you to do this.
Build a bar for outdoor entertaining
If you do a lot of entertaining outdoors, or if you just like to relax with a drink after work, why not build an outdoor bar? It’s a stylish addition to your backyard and can create a real talking point. For an extra sense of romance and relaxation, you could consider decorating your bar with string lights.
If your imagination has been sparked why not get started on creating your new fancy backyard as soon as possible.
