Now that we’re into the new year, the summer season will soon approach us, and we’ll be spending most of our time outdoors.

Whether it’s sunbathing on your sun loungers or enjoying a family karaoke session in your patio-your yard is an excellent place for all adventures. Here are some design ideas that will add a “wow” factor to your backyard.

Stone Garden

While green grass might be a staple in most backyards, you can escape from the ordinary and choose a stone garden instead.

Choosing colorful, decorative stones will give your patio that extra oomph. You can choose stones of varying sizes, colors, textures, and put them together to form a masterpiece. Add some potted plants for an extra leafy-green texture, and you’ll have a patio like no other!

Mini Fire Pit

When it comes to design, you don’t have to compromise on structures or elements due to the lack of available space.

A mini fire pit will work just as well as a full size one. It’ll be a perfect addition that can be used in all seasons. From roasting hot dogs for your summer bash, leaf disposal during the fall season, and spring barbeques to wintertime s’mores, all you’ll need is some bricks, a fire ring, and of course, a professional helper.  

Glass House

If you’re looking for a perfect blend between outdoors and indoors, a glasshouse patio will be the one for you.

You can relax on a lounger while admiring the landscape, even on a rainy day. These glass walls protect your furniture from the elements and make for a perfect date night venue as well. Add some fairy lights, personalized décor, and cozy seating arrangements for a resort-style outdoor experience. 

Outdoor Cooking

The kitchen is the heart of the home; it’s the place where family members spend most of their time eating, drinking, and preparing meals.

If you’re looking to extend this fun and space outdoors, then a patio kitchen will be a smart idea. You can cook in the open air and share your meals with your loved ones around nature.

This is also a perfect space for family get-togethers during festivals or events such as birthdays and anniversaries. Simply contact a mason to install a brick stove and counter so you can begin chopping and sautéing soon.
