Create a Cozy Seating Area

Now that your entrance is looking fabulous, it's time to focus on creating a cozy seating area where you can relax and unwind. Luckily, this is easier (and cheaper) than you might think! Start by rearranging your existing furniture to maximize space and create a welcoming atmosphere. Add some throw pillows and blankets for extra comfort, and don't forget to incorporate some greenery with potted plants or hanging baskets.

Illuminate with Outdoor Lighting

When it comes to sprucing up your outdoor space, lighting is key. Not only does it add ambiance and atmosphere, but it also enhances safety and security. Consider adding some outdoor string lights or solar-powered lanterns to illuminate your back porch and create a magical atmosphere after dark. Not only are these options affordable and easy to install, but they also use renewable energy, making them an eco-friendly choice for your backyard oasis.

Add Some Outdoor Decor

Last but not least, don't forget to add some personality to your outdoor space with some decorative accents. Whether it's a colorful outdoor rug, a statement-making piece of artwork, or some whimsical garden sculptures, adding a few decorative touches can really bring your backyard to life. Best of all, you can easily DIY some of your own creations using materials you already have on hand. Midwest Living has some wonderful inspiration/ideas for garden art that you can create yourself.
