The temperature is rising and oh, how we missed those fun outdoor gatherings with friends and family! Although days in the GCC can be really hot, evenings can be a great time to benefit from your backyard – especially if you give this space a nice and easy makeover. Well, let us tell you that now is the time! Join us below to check a few tips that will really make a difference with the minimum amount of effort.

1 – Dedicate a space in your backyard for a hammock. This piece, despite its easy installation, can add a touch of coziness to your outdoor ambiance. Add to it a colored cushion and get swooned by its wonderful effect. You will love spending time reading a good book when you’re not having people around!

2 – Decorate your pool with fun tiles. And since summer is known for the beauty of its colors, pick ones with a psychedelic print that wouldn’t go unnoticed.

3 – Do you feel like your pergola is kind of boring? Well, here’s a wonderful idea! Cover it with flowers to create the perfect dinner spot under it.

4 – One of the easiest solutions to give your outdoor space a makeover is renewing your furniture. Upgrading your seating can be really fun and changes the way your backyard looks. Alternate between sofas, benches and stools to create great vibes.

5 – What kind of great gatherings don’t include good food. In order to avoid going in and out, add a kitchen to your outdoor space that will not only come in handy in such times, but will also add a charm to your backyard.

6 – To enjoy your friends’ company while using your outdoor kitchen, a bar with stools is another great way to enhance the summery ambiance.

7 – Lighting is a very important part of an amazing outdoor experience. So, why not consider hanging string lights that don’t only make your gathering more enjoyable, but also add a great bohemian touch to your backyard?

8 – If your backyard has a pool, consider making the experience less messy and more practical by installing an outdoor shower. This will not only be useful but will also enhance the space.

9 – Dedicate a space for outdoor games. Whether you’re aiming to make your backyard more kid friendly or more amusing for adults, this is a great solution to enrich it.

10 – This one is for movies enthusiasts! If you’re one of them, an outdoor cinema is a great addition to your space. Pair your huge screen with comfortable seating with big, colorful cushions to optimize the experience!
