Spring is the ideal time to refresh your outdoor living area, and Lyons and Island TIMBER MART are here to help. It’s time to start thinking about how to make your outdoor space more inviting and enjoyable in the lead-up to summer. Whether you want to create an intimate seating area or add colour, we’ve got you covered. Here are five ways to freshen up your outdoor living area this spring:
1. create a seating area
Adding a comfortable seating area to your outdoor space is an easy way to create a relaxing and inviting atmosphere. If the space allows, add a large outdoor sofa or sectional, or go for a more intimate setting with a small bistro set or outdoor lounge chairs.
2. Add Shade
Include a shaded retreat to provide some relief from the sun. Add an umbrella or shade sail, or build a stylish pergola or gazebo that can double as a focal point. Strategically plant trees to shade your outdoor living area and naturally cool your space.
3. Install a Fire Pit
A fire pit is a great way to add warmth and ambiance to your yard. Enjoy evenings under the stars with a portable or built-in fire pit. Check with your municipality before building a fire pit, and obtain a permit if required. Alternatively, purchase a fire table to be the centrepiece of your patio set.
4. Incorporate Lighting
Step up your outdoor lighting game. Use a combination of solar-powered fixtures, string lights and lanterns. Consider upgrading your deck lighting to add to the evening atmosphere and improve the safety of family members and guests.
5. Add Colour
Liven up your outdoor living area with colourful plants and greenery. Add hanging baskets, potted plants or a vertical garden. Decorate with colourful outdoor cushions and a patio rug, or add a pop of colour with bright resin Adirondack chairs.
