Updated: Jun 12, 2018


Summer is here! It will be hot, sticky and beautiful. It's the perfect weather to show some skin and get your tan on.

Summer is also a great time to entertain, have lots of friends and family over and many barbeques. That’s why we have to make sure that our outdoor space is up to scratch!


Let's have some fun this summer and make use of that outdoor space! We live in the Caribbean, one of the most beautiful places on earth and a place that people pay thousands of dollars to visit every year. It would be a shame if we don't make the most of this neverending sunshine.

JUST GRILLIN


Its time to bring out the grill and begin using that outdoor space. In my previous post about patios, we looked at how to make the most of your outdoor space. Summer is one of the best times to do this.


You want to look hot for summer, make grilling a part of your diet plan and have some fun with it. Eat, drink and be merry in your very own outdoor liming spot!

BRING THE INDOORS OUT


Make your outdoor living space an extension of your home by creating an additional outdoor room. Outdoor furniture these days are so similar to indoor furniture, sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference. You can have an entire living room suite for your outdoor area.


This includes full living room and dining room suites. It doesn't end there, soft furnishings like rugs and cushions are now included and.... they are weather resistant.


This goes hand in hand with dining and entertaining, with an additional space that you always had but now, it is fully functional!

LAZY DAYS ELEMENT




Every outdoor space should have a lazy element. A place where you can lay back and swing in the breeze. Can't you see yourself on a hammock or a daybed that swings! Now that's what I call vacationing at home.

COOL DOWN


Although summer time is filled with lots of fun in the sun. Sometimes, its just too hot! There are some things you can do to try to cool things down.

Try to create some shade over your outdoor space, if you don't have any. This can be done with pergolas, umbrellas or even the use of draped material.


Fans for the outdoors are another way to create some airflow and if you don't mind getting a little wet, there are fans that also create mist or you can use misters. Click here for more info.


Some of us will have to use the time wisely and narrow down our outdoor liming to morning and evenings to beat the sun but if your are interested in more ways to cool your space down, click here.
