6 tips for creating the ideal outdoor recreation place

Summer is the prime time for outdoor recreation, whether in the shade of a tree or in the soft moonlight. Here are some tips for transforming your backyard into an ideal gathering place.

1. Upgrade your outdoor furniture 

It wasn't that long ago that the outdoor furniture industry was plagued by clunky, boring wood and mass-produced plastic furniture. Fortunately, we've come a long way, and people are increasingly looking for unique pieces that are beautifully crafted. 

2. Prioritize comfort 

Comfort is Paramount when guests sit around an outdoor table for hours. This depends on the quality of the recliner: choose the appropriate depth of the recliner, with the right amount of padding, you can comfortably lean back or tilt your legs; Add the right fabric so you don't feel constrained in your seat. 

3. Layer your dishes 

The point of outdoor entertainment is to bring a fresh, fun feel to informal gatherings. Ceramic platters, wooden cutlery and colorful glassware can help you do just that. Layering utensils on the table helps to stack and access them easily. Look for bright colors and bold patterns. 

4. Wine glasses 

Decorating the table with glassware of various shapes and sizes can create a grand feeling. Don't just set out one or two glass glasses or tumblers. A lot of people like to drink from oversized pot-bellies, whether it's wine, punch, or cocktails. Mixed drinks served in jars and glass bottles filled with ice and garnished with fresh fruit: this is the essence of the Australian summer celebration. 

5. Technical details 

Don't overlook the small details that have a big impact on the overall experience, such as shade, lighting, and music. If you run out of space, consider a smart all-in-one design, such as the Rock & Stone furniture store's Heatsail dome, which combines infrared heaters, lighting and Bluetooth speakers.

6. Create atmosphere 

Accessorize with some carefully selected decorations. Flowers can soften a table setting and add color and layer. At night, the heavy use of candles is very helpful in creating atmosphere.
