    5 Essential Items for the Perfect Outdoor Area

    By Friends of Real MommaJanuary 6, 20185 Comments3 Mins Read

    We all need to get outdoors more often. The feeling of connecting with nature and our environment refreshes our body and mind. Being outdoors stimulates creative thought and releases endorphins that make us feel good. If your home has a patio or lawn, here are five essential items you need to make an outdoor area that you can enjoy at any time of the year.

    BBQ Grill

    5 Essential Items for the Perfect Outdoor Area

    #1 Outdoor Furniture

    Choose the right outdoor furniture to complement the theme of your home. Glass, wood, steel, and aluminum are all options for styles of outdoor furniture available. An outdoor lounge comes complete with couch, chairs, and tables to seat as many guests as you like on your patio. Make sure that you buy a lounge suite made from durable, weather-resistant materials such as sunbrella fabric. Choosing the right materials and fabrics will ensure your lounge lasts for years.

    #2 Sunshade

    Keep the sun off of your face and prevent the kids from getting sunburned on those hot summer days with a sunshade for your patio. There is a wide variety of designs for sunshades ranging from floating canopy designs, to fixed awnings. Make sure that you choose a product with weather-proof materials for the roof of the shade to protect from the sun and harsh elements. Some sun shades can be collapsed for easy storage, while others are made as fixed structures. A fixed sun shade or awning will cost a lot more than a sun umbrella, but if you have the budget, then they are worth the investment.

    #3 Heater

    The northern hemisphere winters can be incredibly chilly. A portable heater will extend your afternoon entertainment for a little while longer. Portable heaters come in many different designs to suit your patio area and the theme of your home. Gas powered heaters are efficient and effective at outdoor heating for little cost. If you want to go with a more traditional option; build an outdoor fire pit and light a bonfire for the kids.

    #4 Bluetooth Speaker

    Music makes an atmosphere. Unfortunately, there’s usually no power point outside. There’s no longer a need for a big and bulky music system thanks to the power of modern technology. You can use your mobile phone to connect to a portable Bluetooth speaker. The speaker is lightweight, fits in the palm of your hand and makes an impressive sound. Enjoy your afternoon listening to your favorite tracks while you watch the kids dance around in the garden.

    #5 Grill

    The smell and aroma of a grill excite the hearts and minds of the kids and gets their appetite raging. An afternoon barbeque is a perfect way to get to know your neighbors or introduce your kids to new friends.

     

    Experiencing the magic of a winter sunset is amazing by yourself and even better in the company of friends and family. Invite some guests over to relax one weekend afternoon at your new outdoor area. Relax and enjoy good times with good company as you sip on some coffee late into the evening.
