• Creating a Multipurpose Outdoor Living Area 
• 7 Tips to Get Your Outdoor Living Space Ready for Spring

With the right features, you can create a multipurpose outdoor living area. Often, with outdoor spaces and gardens, they need to serve a few different purposes. Maybe the family will play outdoors in the morning, and then in the evening, you want to have drinks and dinner with friends. Being able to create a multifunctional but inviting and stylish space is essential. 

Depending on the space you have available and your budget, there are various ways you can upgrade your outdoor area. From a complete revamp and designing a new BBQ area to giving the grass some TLC and adding some plants, you can do a lot with outdoor space no matter your budget. 

When sunny summer days arrive, you want to spend as much time as possible outdoors. Fortunately, it doesn’t take a lot to transform your garden or patio into an excellent space for play and entertaining. With a few minor tweaks, you can upgrade your outdoor living space and give your home’s exterior a brand new look. 

Here are seven ways to upgrade your outdoor living area: 

One of the simplest and most effective ways to take your garden up a level is by adding flowers and plants. You can transform a dull area into a green oasis with a few plants. Match your plants and flowers to your sun conditions and add foliage that can flourish in your garden. Overflowing containers and pots filled with herbs can add a great smell and brighten up the place. If you are not green-fingered, think low maintenance plants that still look beautiful.

You can install outdoor lighting or add ambient solar lighting to create a calm and warm space. Put some candles on a table and install low maintenance solar lighting around the garden. As the light changes into the evening, the lights will come on automatically and add plenty of warmth. 

If you’re tired of your outdoor seating or looking for something a little different, try a hammock or hanging chair in the garden. With hammocks, you can either tie them to trees or buy hammocks with a stand and place them anywhere. Adding comfortable spots to relax and read a book can transform your outdoor living area.  

Another way to step up your outdoor area is by investing in outdoor tiles. If you’re looking to create a space that’s child-friendly for playtime but also doubles as a spot to entertain in the evening, outdoor rubber tiles like a rubber flooring for garden are a great  modern choice. Outdoor tiles are designed to withstand all weather conditions with non-slip and shock-absorption properties. These are ideal for children’s play spaces, back garden use, patios and even outdoor gyms. If you have an unused or tired lawn space, why not create a functional, seating section, courtyard or exercise space instead.

To extend the evening and keep your outdoor living space warm even in colder weather, add a cosy fire pit. Fire pits are fantastic centre pieces and can keep you warm on chillier evenings. Add blankets to chairs so that you can sit outside all cosied up with the family. 

Think about the colours and textiles you use. Add a splash of colour to make the space stand out and look great. You can go with a subtle colour palette or go bold and vibrant; it’s entirely down to you. Use accessories to add different textures and colours to make your garden or patio pop.  

Tidying up and removing clutter costs nothing. It’s a free way to spruce up your outdoor space. Cut the grass, put away any left out toys, trim back overgrown trees, and remove clutter. Sometimes just organising your space and cutting the grass can make such a huge difference. 

Whether you want to add a few potted plants, install new outdoor rubber flooring, or add a new cosy fire pit, there are so many ways you can brighten up your outdoor living area. With summer just around the corner, now is a great time to work on your garden or patio area and get ready for warm summer days with friends and family.
