This demonstrates how, throughout the epidemic, homeowners responded to the need to make their outdoor living spaces larger, more comfortable, and more functional. In this article, we will be talking about different ways to turn your outdoor space into a relaxing haven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rethink_Typical_Seating\"><\/span><strong>Rethink Typical Seating<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Standard dining chairs are fine\u00a0for gathering around an outdoor table, but there&#8217;s something about a couch, poof, or hanging swing that makes you feel completely at ease. Look for pieces that are both comfy and appealing enough to serve as focal points throughout the yard.  Try pool seats that are half immersed in the pool or enable you to dip your toes in. Look for things that transform your backyard into a sanctuary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" data-attachment-id=\"33678\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/blog\/how-to-turn-your-outdoor-space-into-a-relaxing-haven\/attachment\/backyard-furniture\/#main\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/backyard-furniture.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1103,735\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1631707276&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"backyard-furniture\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/backyard-furniture-1024x682.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/backyard-furniture-1024x682.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/backyard-furniture-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Backyard makeover ideas | OutsideSuburbia\" class=\"wp-image-33678\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/backyard-furniture-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/backyard-furniture-640x426.jpg 640w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/backyard-furniture-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/backyard-furniture-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/backyard-furniture.jpg 1103w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_the_right_outdoor_furniture\"><\/span><strong>Get the right outdoor furniture<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For your backyard patio, you will need to find furniture that is built to withstand outdoor elements. It\u2019s important to consider comfort as well, so look for chairs that allow you to relax. Look for quality lounge chairs, chaise lounges, and seating sets (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tkqlhce.com\/click-8181889-14510827\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">I love these teak ones<\/a> that are cozy and don&#8217;t break the bank) that work for you, your family, and your guests.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1631724585565_1004\">Putting a table (or two) in the outdoor space is also a good idea, especially if you plan to entertain guests or hold gatherings with family and friends. You can decorate the table with festive tablecloths, nice melamine tableware, and some seasonal table decor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Arrange your patio furniture to make it inviting and relaxing. You can even just use an outdoor rug or carpet and add some large soft cushions or bean bags for seating instead of traditional furniture.&nbsp;Hammocks are great too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Incorporate_Color_and_Pattern_with_Textiles\"><\/span><strong>Incorporate Color and Pattern with Textiles<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Weather-resistant textiles that provide softness and flair to a deck or patio are a great way to personalize it.&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bettermcrbahamas.com\/blog\/2020\/11\/24\/happy-paint-color-ideas-for-an-instant-mood-boost-in-every-room\/\">Compare different paint color ideas<\/a>&nbsp;and choose the ones you like the most.

Then, collect a variety of outdoor pillows in all sizes and designs. Choose textiles that dry easily, are UV resistant, and are simple to clean.

The peaceful sound of running water will drown out the clamor of the surrounding cities. Even a modest water feature with a fall, splash, gurgle, or trickle can be highly successful in lulling a listener away from annoying city noises. Water will also draw wild birds to your urban sanctuary, giving them a much-needed resource.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" data-attachment-id=\"33684\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/blog\/how-to-turn-your-outdoor-space-into-a-relaxing-haven\/attachment\/backyard-make-over-ideas\/#main\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/backyard-make-over-ideas.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1024,682\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;X-T1&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;50&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.003125&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"backyard-make-over-ideas\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/backyard-make-over-ideas.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/backyard-make-over-ideas.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/backyard-make-over-ideas.jpg\" alt=\"How to Turn Your Backyard Into A Relaxing Haven | OutsideSuburbia\" class=\"wp-image-33684\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/backyard-make-over-ideas.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/backyard-make-over-ideas-640x426.jpg 640w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/backyard-make-over-ideas-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/backyard-make-over-ideas-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from water elements, your backyard also needs some fire and heat elements. A small fire pit would do the trick! You can use your backyard longer this way. Once the colder days start rolling in the fire pit will help keep you and your backyard guests warm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Create_some_Shade\"><\/span><strong>Create some Shade<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Gazebos or pergolas, umbrellas, awnings, vines growing over arbors, and leafy trees can all be used to generate shade. These pieces give much-needed protection from the sun. Plus they bring back memories of a relaxing holiday at a resort, on a sandy beach, or by a pool. Its spherical shape, projected above the other items of outdoor furniture, appears fun and welcoming, inviting you to sit underneath its colorful (or patterned or striped) design and relax, perhaps sipping an icy beverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" data-attachment-id=\"33676\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/blog\/how-to-turn-your-outdoor-space-into-a-relaxing-haven\/attachment\/garden-backyard-furniture\/#main\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/garden-backyard-furniture.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1024,682\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS 650D&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;128&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;800&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0025&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"garden-backyard-furniture\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/garden-backyard-furniture.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/garden-backyard-furniture.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/garden-backyard-furniture.jpg\" alt=\"How to decide on a theme for your backyard makeover\" class=\"wp-image-33676\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/garden-backyard-furniture.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/garden-backyard-furniture-640x426.jpg 640w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/garden-backyard-furniture-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/garden-backyard-furniture-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from landscaping, add some potted plants that you can move around.

Add some flowers and plants for your winged friends, after all, you will be sharing the space with some birds and butterflies too! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Decide_on_a_theme_for_your_backyard_makeover\"><\/span><strong>Decide on a theme for your backyard makeover&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Deciding on a theme for your backyard space will make things more fun. Instead of buying random pieces, it will help decide on the design and bring the space together with various elements and create an inviting space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Choose a theme that you are familiar with and enjoy when traveling \u2013 a <a href=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/north-america\/united-states\/hamptons-south-rosemary-beach-florida\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">beachy vibe<\/a> or a tropical island look, <a href=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/category\/summer-in-the-mountains\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mountain getaways<\/a> -inspired, and <a href=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/travel\/asia\/indonesia\/to-do-bali-7-day-itinerary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bali <\/a>or a <a href=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/travel\/africa\/morocco\/where-to-stay-in-marrakech\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Moroccan Riyad <\/a>theme.&nbsp;Who wouldn&#8217;t want their backyard to look and feel like a mini-resort?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Include_some_lighting_to_create_magic\"><\/span><strong>Include some lighting to create magic<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Light up your backyard oasis with some dreamy lighting to set the mood.  While candles are great and can be placed around the seating area for a dramatic effect, use string lights for their simplicity.  Solar lights and spotlights work well too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-attachment-id=\"31413\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/gardens\/pruning-changing-colors-keeping-cut-stems-from-wilting-hydrangeas-tips\/attachment\/best-vases-for-hydrangea-flowers\/#main\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/best-vases-for-hydrangea-flowers.jpeg\" data-orig-size=\"1024,683\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 12 Pro&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1624207962&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;6&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;25&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0071428571428571&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"best-vases-for-hydrangea-flowers\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/best-vases-for-hydrangea-flowers.jpeg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/best-vases-for-hydrangea-flowers.jpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/best-vases-for-hydrangea-flowers.jpeg\" alt=\"How to create a relaxing backyard haven | OutsideSuburbia\" class=\"wp-image-31413\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/best-vases-for-hydrangea-flowers.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/best-vases-for-hydrangea-flowers-640x427.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/best-vases-for-hydrangea-flowers-600x400.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/best-vases-for-hydrangea-flowers-150x100.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Blur_the_boundaries_between_indoor_and_outdoor_spaces\"><\/span><strong>Blur the boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The congestion of city life, apartment square footage is generally limited which makes it a good idea to create a seamless transition from inside to outside living space to increase your living space. The living area is connected to the outside lounge by rotating glass doors. Double-paned, insulated glass is well worth the expenditure in cold locations to reduce heat loss in the winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-attachment-id=\"31360\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/gardens\/beautiful-spring-flower-quotes-captions\/attachment\/how-to-keep-cut-hydrangea-from-wilting\/#main\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/how-to-keep-cut-hydrangea-from-wilting.jpeg\" data-orig-size=\"768,1024\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 12 Pro&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1622296269&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;6&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;25&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0023809523809524&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"how-to-keep-cut-hydrangea-from-wilting\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/how-to-keep-cut-hydrangea-from-wilting.jpeg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/how-to-keep-cut-hydrangea-from-wilting.jpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/how-to-keep-cut-hydrangea-from-wilting.jpeg\" alt=\"How to keep cut hydrangeas from wilting | Outside Suburbia\" class=\"wp-image-31360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/how-to-keep-cut-hydrangea-from-wilting.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/how-to-keep-cut-hydrangea-from-wilting-640x853.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/how-to-keep-cut-hydrangea-from-wilting-600x800.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/how-to-keep-cut-hydrangea-from-wilting-150x200.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Hope this post gave you some ideas to create an outdoor space for enjoying a family meal, entertaining guests, or a haven for relaxing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:left\"><strong>Note:<\/strong><em>\u00a0This post may contain affiliate links, partnership or sponsored content.
