With summer approaching fast, you’re likely looking forward to spending as much time outdoors as possible soaking up the sun. Get ready with a home renovation project to transform your backyard or patio into an oasis you’ll enjoy all summer.

3 Ways to Renovate Your Outdoor Living Space for Summer Fun

1. An Outdoor Bar

Setting up an outdoor bar will create a festive summertime mood. Whether you’re striving for a romantic vibe or a more social atmosphere, a bar in your backyard or on your deck will increase your entertainment space and bring the comfort of the indoors outside. To get even more use out of your outdoor bar, consult a general contractor who specializes in kitchen design to devise an outdoor cooking area where you can prepare food to accompany your summer drinks.

2. A Lookout Point

If you’re lucky enough to have a view of the mountains or ocean, take advantage of the scenery with a lookout point. Build a secluded space where you and your special someone can watch the sunset together, or design a larger seating area where you can enjoy the company of friends and family while you take in the view. A renovation contractor can help you decide which direction would be the best for your lookout point to face according to your house structure and environment.

3. Poolside Lounge

You’ll likely make use of your swimming pool often this season, although you may not want to spend all of your outdoor time in the water. A poolside lounge area will offer a space where you can relax while your children or grandchildren enjoy the pool. Include a covered area for plenty of shade, comfortable seating for you and your guests, and a table or two where you can set your drinks.
