Outdoor Looks

 Hello! Welcome back to my No Place Like Home blog. I thought because we are coming up on summer it would be nice to incorporate some backyard setups. I have been searching all throughout Pinterest for my favorite yard setups in order to share with you all.  As I have said in previous blogs, there is a really high chance you will not have the same space to work with, HOWEVER, that should not stop you from being inspired. All of the links to the material used in each yard will be listed below the images and you can very much use the products in any size or shape of a yard.

Retreat:

This yard to me represents a relaxing vacation. It is super calming as it as a mini pool and several lounge areas. The black rocks gives it a foreign feel and also compliments the white concrete stones. When I first saw this yard, I immediately thought of Bali. The buddha and the greenery everywhere really helped to set the tone.

Country Outing:

This particular layout can be for a yard of any sort. It includes a hammock spot to rest and enjoy the view as well as a dining area for outdoor dinners and gatherings. I love this set up because it gives a very homey vibe as well as a relaxing oasis. The outdoor string lights are definitely a necessity as well because they brighten up the area and make it so this space can be put to use even at night.

Deck Addition:

This deck addition can also be used as inspiration for a back yard. The materials used are all things that can be out in other places of a home. I think this deck is perfect for a couple who maintain a white look amongst their home. This is a great relaxing area and space just to catch some air. Instead of inviting someone inside your home to chat, this could be a could spot to host a meeting or get together.
