There’s much to love; there’s simply no doubt about it.
It’s in your interest to enjoy the summer months as easily as possible. While there’s plenty of fun in the outside world, it’s more enjoyable if you have good times on your property. If you have a decent-sized yard, that’ll be within reach — but you’ll need to do the work to make it happen. Outdoor spaces can be enhanced with defined lounging and dining areas using outdoor rugs.
In this post, we'll run through some tried-and-tested tips for transforming your external space into a fun summer paradise that allows you and your family to experience the best that summer has to offer. Ready? Let’s dive in.
Lush Scenery
We’re trying to make a fun summer paradise here, and there’s no such thing as a barren paradise! So, the step will be creating a lush garden that’s a joy to behold. Creating a lush garden will be more or less complicated depending on your starting point; some homeowners will need to hire a landscaper to bring their less-than-perfect yard up to scratch, but if you’ve already got a decent foundation of plants and trees, then it might just require a little bit of work.
The outcome should be the same regardless of the level of work: a beautiful, green, lush garden that makes you feel you’ve stepped into a magical rainforest wonderland every time you step out your back door. A lush garden not only creates a vibrant atmosphere but also adds outdoor elegance, enhancing the overall appeal and sophistication of your yard.
Create a Trendy Living Space
Your yard isn’t there to be viewed from a distance like a work of art. It’s for enjoying up close and personal. You can make the most of the warm spring and summer days by creating a trendy outdoor living space where you and your family can enjoy meals and wait for those evening stars to appear.
A decking area with upscale garden furniture will provide the focal point for socialising with your friends and family. Try to include a mixture of seating types, and if you have the space, make the external living area more significant than you think you’ll need — you’ll want space for as many of your loved ones as possible. Outdoor lounges can include options for two to twelve seaters to accommodate different needs.
Choosing different colours for your furniture and accessories can help complement your outdoor aesthetic and reflect your taste.
A Private Oasis
When you think of paradise, you probably don’t imagine other people beyond your close friends and family. So keep that in mind when you’re putting together your next-level yard. In truth, your neighbours are unlikely to be peering into your yard when you and your family are unwinding on your poolside lounge chairs, but you’ll feel more relaxed if you know that you’re off-limits to prying eyes.
You can insulate your yard from the external world by adding a tall fence, creating a living wall, installing a gazebo, and keeping any tall trees in their place. That way, the only eyeballs you’ll have to worry about are those from passing planes. There are suitable privacy solutions for every type of outdoor space, allowing you to find an option that suits your specific needs and preferences. You can extend the longevity of your outdoor furniture by using an outdoor furniture cover.
Outdoor Cooking
The winter months are for cooking cosy recipes while we shelter from the less-than-ideal weather. During the summer months, it’s all about outdoor cooking. Is there anything more enjoyable than barbecuing in shorts, t-shirts, and flip-flops? If there is, we don’t know what it is. When putting together your summer paradise, look at buying a top-tier barbecue — some excellent models on the market come jam-packed with features that can take your cooking to the next level. Outdoor furniture can be crafted from durable materials like teak, aluminum, timber, rattan, and wicker. Many retailers keep a wide stock of outdoor furniture materials and styles to suit your outdoor cooking and dining needs.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a newbie in outdoor cooking. With the help of a great barbecue and a few delicious recipes, you’ll become a grillmaster in no time. And trust us when we say that your family will love your new hobby too!
Choosing the Right Outdoor Lounges
Selecting the perfect outdoor lounge for your outdoor space is all about striking a balance between comfort, style, and practicality. Start by measuring your area to determine what size and shape of outdoor lounge furniture will best fit your space, whether you have a sprawling backyard, a cozy patio, or a sunny balcony. Consider how you envision using your outdoor living area: do you envision lively gatherings with friends, quiet afternoons with family, or simply a peaceful spot to relax and unwind?
When it comes to materials, durability is key. Teak and aluminium are popular choices for outdoor lounges in Australia, as they can withstand the harsh elements and require minimal maintenance. Wicker and other weather-resistant materials also offer a stylish touch while withstanding the demands of outdoor life. Select a style that complements your home’s architecture and personal taste, whether you prefer sleek, modern lines or a more classic, coastal vibe. With so many options available, you’re sure to find the perfect outdoor lounge furniture to create a welcoming and functional area for all your outdoor adventures.
Poolside Lounge Chairs
Your yard looks good. The sun is shining. You have nowhere to be and nothing to do. At this point, all your efforts in creating a lovely summer paradise begin to pay off; it’s time to sink into a few hours of pure relaxation.
But there’s one crucial thing you’ll need to make that happen: comfortable seating. To truly create a cozy outdoor lounge, nothing is worse than settling into swimming pool chairs and realising it’s not up to standard. To get the most from your yard in the spring and summer, you must add plenty of comfortable poolside lounge chairs that are so comfortable you’ll never want to get up. It’s best to add a few to allow everyone in your family to enjoy your yard to the fullest (and to prevent arguments over who gets to use the chair!). A few outdoor bean bags are also perfect for outdoor cinema nights (more on those later).
Outdoor Lounge Chairs and Arrangement
Outdoor lounge chairs are the heart of any comfortable outdoor sanctuary. When arranging your outdoor lounge chairs, consider how people will move through the space and interact with each other. Position chairs to encourage conversation and relaxation, leaving enough room for everyone to stretch out and enjoy the Australian sun. Mix and match different seating options—like plush sofas, cozy armchairs, and versatile ottomans—to create a layered, inviting look.
Don’t forget to add soft cushions for extra comfort and a splash of colour, and include a coffee table or side tables to keep drinks, snacks, and summer reads within easy reach. Well-designed outdoor lounge arrangements not only look beautiful but also make your outdoor space more functional and enjoyable. With the right combination of outdoor lounge chairs, tables, and accessories, you can create a relaxing retreat that’s perfect for soaking up the sun or hosting friends and family all season long.
Install a Fire Pit
The summer months are so warm in Australia that you can spend the night sleeping in your yard if you wish, especially if you have extra comfortable poolside lounge chairs. But what about the periods before and after the peak summer season? Those evenings can get chilly, so it's best to devise a plan that'll allow you to stay outside as late as possible without worrying about the temperature. You should dry wet seat and back cushions in the sun as soon as possible to prolong the life of your outdoor furniture.
And the way to do that is to add a firepit. These handy inventions look great and keep you warm, making the perfect addition to any top-level yard. There are several types available, including those that use propane, wood, and natural gas as fuel. Selecting the right one for your needs will depend on various factors, but if you have the choice, opt for a wood-burning fire pit; they add another level of intimacy and connection to the outdoors.
Consider a Pool
A swimming pool is a luxurious addition to a yard, often less expensive and easier to install than you might think. Once you have it, you can cool off whenever you want; you can start your day with a morning swim. Your kids will love it, and it can complement your yard aesthetic. Plus, it’s great for socialising.
You can add more than one type of swimming pool to your yard. The most popular — albeit most expensive — is an inground pool. Throw in a few poolside lounge chairs and an outdoor umbrella for essential sun protection, and you’ll feel like you’re on holiday every day.
Or a Hot Tub
We mentioned earlier how adding a firepit will allow you to stay warm during those slightly cooler spring and summer days. However, there's another option: adding a hot tub. A hot tub is the most luxurious yard addition, but as with a swimming pool, they're not nearly as expensive as you might think. Plus, although this article focuses on how to enjoy the summer months to the max, it's also true that a hot tub can elevate your winter experience in your yard to the next level. Also, you'll comfortably become the most famous person in your friend group — everyone loves spending time in a hot tub!
Other Water Touches
A swimming pool and hot tub will take care of the fun aspect of your yard — now, let's focus on those calming water features you can add. A water fountain can turn a good yard into a great one, elevating the zen aspect of your exterior space. You don't necessarily need to add anything overly extravagant to get all the benefits of a water feature; even a simple one can help provide a relaxing atmosphere.
If you have the option, consider adding fish and water plants to the installation. It'll help to increase your yard's natural credentials. But don't worry if that's a step too far — you'll love sitting outside on warm summer mornings listening to the running water of your water feature regardless of whether it's a wildlife haven.
Create an Outdoor Cinema
There's only so much time you can spend reading. If you're looking to spend as much time as possible outside in your yard, you'll need to find other fun additions that'll keep you entertained well into the night.
One option is to create an outdoor cinema, which is much easier than you may realise. While it sounds like a grand addition to your yard, the essential outdoor cinema involves little more than a projector and a primary screen, which can be as simple as a white sheet. Although there are options for all budgets, if you have the budget to spare, consider upgrading to a more professional setup. Once you've got the basic screening infrastructure, you'll need to add some poolside lounge chairs, speakers, and plenty of delicious snacks, and you'll be ready to go.
Are you looking for some inspiration on what to watch? You can't go wrong with classic family movies like Jurassic Park or Raiders of the Lost Ark (also known as Indiana Jones).
Outdoor Games
Your outdoor cinema will take care of the nighttime fun you have in your yard. Now, what about during the daytime? Consider adding some fun outdoor games that the whole family will enjoy. They're perfect for those moments when you're looking to add a bit of excitement into your day, and you'll get plenty of use from them when you invite your extended family and friends around, too.
There's plenty of yard games on the market. Some of the most popular options include cornhole, bat and ball sets, spikeball, tug of war, and giant jenga. If you have all those in your garage, you'll never be too far from having a great day!
Atmospheric Outdoor Lighting
Are you looking to make your yard as inviting as possible? Sure you are. You can increase the likelihood of spending your evenings outside by adding some atmospheric outdoor lighting. Outdoor lighting can be as simple as adding fairy lights to your external living space or as complex as adding landscape lighting all over the yard (which, in truth, still isn't that complicated!). With lighting and a fire pit, you'll have a cosy, intimate space you'll never want to leave. Outdoor decorations can include plants and tie-top curtains to enhance the aesthetic of outdoor lounges.
Sun Protection
Summer is a lot of fun, but boy, oh boy, the heat can sometimes be a little too much. You may not know it, but Australia is the sunniest place on earth. It can be so hot that there will be days when you’d rather be sitting inside in your air-conditioned home. Adding sun protection to your yard can make being outside more comfortable. Consider adding a rug to your living space (to prevent burning your feet) and buying a few umbrellas so you can enjoy your poolside lounge chairs in the shade.
Don't forget to shop for quality sun protection accessories to make your outdoor lounging even more enjoyable.
Add a Sound System
Finally, remember the sound system! Plenty of fun summer tunes can help create a lively atmosphere in your yard, but you'll need a more advanced way to listen to them than simply using your phone. You can use a portable Bluetooth speaker, but consider installing a sound system if you're serious about upscaling your yard.
Maintenance and Care
Keeping your outdoor lounge furniture in top shape is essential for enjoying your outdoor space year after year. Regular maintenance starts with simple cleaning—use mild soap and water to wash down your outdoor lounges, and steer clear of harsh chemicals that could damage the materials. For outdoor lounges with cushions, it’s a good idea to bring them inside during heavy rain or extreme weather, or use outdoor furniture covers to shield them from the elements.
Inspect your outdoor lounge furniture regularly for signs of wear, such as loose screws or fading fabrics, and make necessary repairs or replacements to keep everything looking and feeling its best. By taking these small steps, you’ll extend the life of your outdoor sofa, chairs, and tables, ensuring your outdoor living area remains a comfortable and stylish retreat. With a little care, your outdoor lounge will stay the perfect spot for relaxing, entertaining friends, and creating memories with family in your backyard.
