Spring is here and summer is right around the corner. As we will spend more time outdoors but that pandemic times are still here, here are a few ideas to create a cozy living space in your garden.
Your interior is important, but too often we forget to pay attention to our backyard. If you are lucky enough to have a garden, don't forget to give it the love it deserves. It will give you lots of love back!
Create a wooden path
Many of us have big lawns that are too often lacking a feature to help them to stand out. Sometimes, we also struggle with maintaining areas regularly stomped by kids and guests.
The solution is to create a path with concrete slabs or ideally wood beams. It will naturally direct the traffic and beautify your lawn.

Build a pond
There is nothing more relaxing than being around water. For a low cost, you can build a small pond and enjoy the sight of fishes swimming around. Just add a few plants in and around the pond, a water filter for a little fountain effect, and you’re done!

Install romantic lighting.
What’s the “must have'' for romantic weddings? Watch any movie and most of them will feature hanging lighting. Stretch a couple of lights across trees or poles and create your everyday romance at home! If you don’t have an electrical outlet nearby, consider the solar option.

Patio decking
What’s best during summer than sitting outside with your guests? A wooden decking is definitely the ultimate outdoor solution to create a welcoming space. Give your preference to old reclaimed wood. Such wood has a rich past and its story as an old bridge or boat will entertain every visitor.
