As it’s midsummer, there’s nothing like taking some time to relax or enjoy the company of others in a super cozy outdoor space designed to reflect your personality. But how to make that outdoor space cozy and welcoming, so that everyone wanted to be there?
Lights
Light is magical, cozy lighting can turn a simple space into a magical nook, which you’ll never want to leave. That said, use string lights, outdoor lamps and candle lanterns – all together or just some of them to illuminate your space. If there’s a tree, hang some lights on it, if not – hang some string lights over the space, and for a very relaxing mood only candle lanterns will be enough.

Furniture
Sitting or lying comfortably is key to relaxation, so prefer comfortable and soft upholstered furniture for outdoors, if you don’t have upholstery, make it! Add soft pillows, lots of them, to feel like sitting on the heaven. As for fabrics, choose natural ones to upholster the furniture as they breathe and won’t let you overheat or sweat. Make sure that even furniture with no upholstery is comfortable and invites to sit on, try all the design – sit or lie on them before buying. A hammock or a hanging daybed can be also a nice idea to cozy up the nook and create a zone that would welcome.
