Outdoor season isn’t opened yet in some places, in others it never ends but as it’s spring soon, we all will be striving for some sunshine and fresh air as much as possible, which means spending a lot of time outdoors. It’s high time to understand if your outdoor spaces, backyards, terraces, patios, decks and other spaces are ready for a new season. If you already have an outdoor bathroom or planning to make one, this roundup will help you understand what the main building and creating concerns are and what items you’ll really need. Dive in!
Privacy
A bathroom is a place where you wanna feel comfortable and at ease, which means total privacy for most of us. Locating your bathroom is a private courtyard surrounded with walls from all the sides is the best idea to achieve total privacy but there’s a disadvantage: you may lack the views, for which we often make these bathrooms. If it’s not your thing, you may try to rock not very tall walls or screens to remove them when nobody’s around, and such screens can be DIYed. Half walls will be also a solution, at least for some of backyards but anyway keep something like a screen at hand. No time for building anything? Add curtains around your tub and voila – you feel private and safe!

Ambiance
For me, a bathroom is a sanctuary where you forget all your burdens and relax after a long day. An outdoor bathroom is similar and maybe even more than that, which means that you need to create a mood and an ambience to be willing to spend time there, of course it’s the same for you. Outdoor bathroom décor and style of your space is important, choose what inspires you: minimalist, contemporary, gypsy, boho, vintage, art deco or any other. Whatever style you choose, to give your outdoor space a spa-like feel, you may put some pebbles on the ground, install a wooden deck or tiles over them or together with them. Potted greenery will enliven any outdoor bathroom, and it’s especially important if you don’t have any greenery growing around – such decora feature will make you feel more like outdoors. Light is the last but not least point and if you properly illuminate your space, it will be almost magical! Use string lights, floor lamps and of course candles and candle lanterns to finish off the look of the space. Get inspired by the ideas we’ve gathered.
