Outdoor Spaces for Entertaining

August 26, 2014

In Florida, our pools and back patios are easily becoming hangout spots for celebrations with friends and family. School may be back in session, but the warm weather is here to stay for the upcoming months. Make the most out of your outdoor space by turning it into your family’s entertainment hub. Create an outdoor oasis around your pool or backyard with these ideas.

Outdoor Spaces for Entertaining

Pool Cabanas

A cabana is a wonderful place to relax, providing shade, while still allowing you to enjoy the open air. Add a fire pit, your décor of choice, comfortable couches or seating areas, perhaps even pillows and you’re set! Throw in a TV, sound system for music or video game consoles for added entertainment options. If you have children, these outdoor spaces are perfect for play dates and pool parties! Their friends will love coming over to your home. Meanwhile, you get to keep an eye on them, knowing they are safe.

Outdoor Bars and Kitchens

Outdoor Bars and Kitchens for Entertaining

No outside structure is complete without a bar or kitchen for optimal entertaining. Do you like to grill and spend your days outside on the weekends? A bar is the perfect place for grilling. Decorate eating areas with barstools. Or, think about bringing the indoors out with an outdoor dining room set like this one. You may also want to add a refrigerator or freezer too. When designing your outdoor space, don’t be afraid to think out of the box. One of our clients recently requested an outdoor pizza oven! How imaginative (and delicious) does that sound?

Peaceful Gardens

For those who are passionate for gardening, what’s more comforting than spending time in a garden you’ve designed just for you? The landscaping and decorating options for gardens are endless. Showcase your style by choosing furnishings you like and surrounding them by your favorite types of plants. If you want this area to be a space for gatherings, consider building an awning for shade and adding lounge chairs or picnic tables for seating.
