Upgrade Your Outdoor Spaces: Make the Most of Summer Entertaining
Summer in Kansas is made for backyard barbecues, patio happy hours, and long evenings under the stars. Whether you’re hosting the next neighborhood get-together or just want a peaceful retreat, now’s the perfect time to upgrade your outdoor space.
1. Create Zones for Relaxing and Entertaining
Design your space like a cozy, outdoor living room. Set up comfy seating in one area, a dining table in another, and maybe even a fire pit zone for those perfect summer nights.
2. Light It Up
Let the party glow after sundown. String lights, lanterns, and solar path markers add ambiance and functionality.
3. Go Green (and Colorful)
Potted plants, hanging baskets, and herb gardens add beauty and a bit of personality to any patio or porch. No green thumb? Start with easy-care options like lavender or succulents.
4. Comfortable, Durable Furniture
Choose weather-friendly materials and cozy cushions to make your outdoor space just as inviting as your living room.
5. Add Shade and Shelter
Beat the heat with umbrellas, pergolas, or retractable awnings. Shade equals more usable hours outdoors—yes, even during those toasty July afternoons.
6. Keep It Functional (and Stylish)
Add small tables for snacks, outdoor speakers for playlists, or even a cooler stocked with cold drinks. Little touches = big impact.
Whether you’re working with a compact porch or a spacious backyard, a few simple upgrades can transform your space into a summer-ready oasis.
