How to Create Your Outdoor Retreat

How To / September 5,2013

There's no need to go on lavish holidays when you've got all you need right at home on your patio. Here we've got a list of ideas to help you turn your outdoor area or garden into your very own outdoor oasis.

 

Get a hammock

Nothing says relaxation like a hammock. There are a lot of designs too, so if you don't have two trees to hang it between, don't stress. You can get a free-standing kind that has a frame. They look good and are just as enticing!

 

Add a water feature

Water features are a wonderful way to make your outdoor living space a soothing and peaceful place to be. It's actually not too difficult to install a water feature either, but if in doubt, always consult the experts.

 

Introduce a fire pit

Fire pits are great for the winter. You can toast marshmallows and look up at the stars. What could be more relaxing?!

 

Outdoor furniture

Investing in quality, comfortable outdoor furniture is a must. Make sure you try it out before you buy it if possible, to make sure it's nice and comfy.

 

Plant flowers

Planting new flowers in your garden or adding splashes of colour with potted plants is a great way to make your outdoor space more inviting and tranquil.
