Bringing the Outdoors Home
May 14, 2021
For much of the U.S., spring is in the air — which likely means more outdoor time after surviving the winter, or more moderate temps if you’re headed into a sweltering summer.
If you’re looking to make the most of your time at home and have access to a backyard or patio, Zillow.com has these suggestions to enjoy the outdoors at home.
- Create an outdoor lounge space – Sure, you can scour the Internet for lounge chairs, outdoor sectionals, hammocks, etc. But it also doesn’t have to be fancy — access to some outdoor pillows and a few candles does the trick!
- DIY Outdoor Movie Theater – All it takes is a white sheet mounted on a flat surface and a projector, and voila! you’re in business to play movies, TV shows, or even concerts on YouTube.
- Make your own Outdoor Bar – Buy a new one, re-purpose a table or a desk, or make your own with some wood and concrete. Grab the Bluetooth speaker, some fabulous cocktail recipes, and bring the bar vibe straight to your very own space.
- DIY Fire Pit – You can make your own fire pit with a few basic supplies, shop online for a used one, or for a few hundred dollars, purchase a brand-new propane fire table. (Which definitely comes in handy if you’re on a patio or a deck.) Bring on the S’mores!
- Dining al fresco – Start with the basics: an outdoor dining table and chairs. Then add an outdoor rug and a string of lights to transform your evening meals into a virtual cafe. For bargain outdoor dishes and tableware, check your local Dollar store, a rummage sale, or your favorite retail outlet.
