3 Breezy Backyard Trends To Inspire Your Outdoor Oasis
It’s finally getting warm enough to spend more time chilling outside—yay! But does your backyard need a pick-me-up? Check out these outdoor spaces and product recommendations for some serious inspiration.
Resort ready
No passport? No problem. With a backyard set-up embodying the tropics, you can take a mini vacation without leaving your home. Bold pops of vibrant orange and green bring the energy, while modern furniture in light hues evokes the breezy beauty of sun-soaked locales. Natural materials like terracotta, ceramic and rattan help create a coastal ambience that strikes the ideal balance between laidback and luxe. To elevate the resort vibe, pull out fun extras like a bar cart or scented candles and get ready for fun in the sun.

Gather the family for a meal al fresco in a fresh, Scandi-inspired space. Durable and functional wooden chairs are made comfortable with tie-on cushions perfect for leisurely lunches or chatting over a glass of lemonade. A simple colour palette of airy neutrals lets the natural greenery take centre stage, creating a tranquil outdoor gathering place. Natural wood and clear glass provide a clean appeal but materials like jute or linen can also be added to bring texture to the area. And we haven’t forgotten the kids—keep the little ones included with a miniature patio set of their own that makes it easy to come and go. And don’t forget an outdoor speaker to set the mood with your favourite tunes.
