Shake off that cold weather! Spring is here and with it comes the promise of a fun and vibrant summer.  

 

One of the best ways to ensure that you have an exciting and relaxing summer is by building an outdoor oasis in your backyard. 

 

Not only are outdoor oases a gripping new trend, but they also infuse your backyard with timeless beauty and an undeniable sense of style. 

 

Many homeowners dream of an outdoor oasis they can call their own, but they don’t know where to start.  

 

If you want to build an outdoor oasis where you can spend your days and nights, then read on! This post will walk you through building a backyard paradise that is uniquely yours.  

 

Your Private Paradise 

 

It’s your outdoor oasis, so all design choices are up to you. However, here are a few steps that will help you get started. 

 

Focus on Privacy 

 

A backyard oasis should be a sanctuary. As such, you do not want any prying eyes or looky-loos peeping into your private space. If you do not already have a privacy fence on your yard's perimeter, then this summer may be the perfect time to install one. If fences aren't your style, then you might consider hedges or other plant covers to help add a touch of privacy. 

 

Think of Community 

 

Backyard oases are great places to host small get-togethers and friendly meet-ups. Because of this, you will want to create a seating area that is comfortable and inviting. Semi-circle furniture alignments are great ways to spur conversation naturally. You can also consider easily movable furniture to help create a custom, welcoming environment. 

 

Consider Permanent Features 

 

If you want to keep your backyard oasis for more than one summer, then permanent features like decks and fountains can help enhance your private space. Outdoor patios and decks are excellent investments and they can even boost your home’s value when it comes time to sell. Other homeowners opt for pools and ponds for a boost in tranquility.  

 

Outdoor Eatery 

 

What is better than enjoying a delicious feast on a cool summer night? Not much that we can think of! If you or your family enjoy grilling, have an outdoor kitchen, or simply want to enjoy a fabulous meal under the stars, then you will want to set up an outdoor eating space. To complete your outdoor eatery, you just need a dining table and a couple of chairs. 

 

Light Up Your Life 

 

We have said it before, and we will say it again: light is everything to an outdoor space. If you ever plan to enjoy your outdoor space at night, take some time to invest in outdoor lighting. There are dozens of different options to choose from. String lights, tiki torches, or outdoor sconces can all help your backyard oasis feel a little bit more welcoming.
