COVID-19 has forced many of us to stay home and postpone or cancel most of our vacation plans. That said, people have found relaxing alternatives at home—specifically, in their backyards. If you’d like to learn a few ways to create a backyard getaway, we’ve got you covered in our list below.
Install a Firepit and Lounge Area
Nobody should walk into their backyard and feel overwhelmed or stressed; instead, you should feel alive and relaxed. Create a relaxing area in your backyard with outdoor furniture, plants, outdoor lighting, a firepit, and a hammock. What’s important is that you create a space that suits your personality. If you’re a sports fan, for example, you might want to install a television outside to watch the big game. As long as the yard fits you, that’s all that matters.
Have an Outdoor Kitchen and Dining Area
Everybody needs to eat—and drink, especially during 2020—so why wouldn’t you want a dining area in your backyard? After all, you’re trying to “get away” from your day-to-day life. That said, consider installing an outdoor kitchen equipped with a sink, stove (or grill), refrigerator, and even a bar. Additionally, having a dining area lets you stay “away” from home so that it genuinely feels like a getaway.
Build a Backyard Studio
If you truly want to take a backyard getaway, you’re going to need somewhere to sleep. While you could set up a tent, it’s not very safe, and it’s certainly not comfortable. Instead of a tent, think about investing in a prefab backyard studio. A backyard studio will not only be more comfortable than other alternatives, but it’s also permanent. Because the studio is permanent, you can use it as an office, a guest room, a man cave, or a she-shed. The studio can also add value to your home and property if you choose to leave the structure when you move.
Obviously, there are several ways to create a backyard getaway; the important part is that your backyard reflects your personality. Everybody deserves to have a yard and home that truly feels like home. You can make your backyard whatever you want it to be—so what are you waiting for?
