Entertaining Garden Features To Transform Your Space
As we enter the new year, many of us are thinking about the ways we want to improve our lives going forward. For many, making more time for our friends and family is at the top of that list.
Spending time with loved ones can be tricky with our constantly busy schedules, but it will certainly be easier to manage when you have dedicated space for this very thing. Hoisting more events and seeing people more often does not mean you have to turn your home upside down, as the garden can be a wonderful environment too.
Your garden could be the perfect location for any social occasion, whether it is a major event or a last-minute meet-up with your friends, with some clever design features. There are plenty of entertaining garden features that you can invest in to transform your standard back garden into a hub of entertainment and the perfect setting for any occasion.
Using our expertise as a leading design and landscaping company, S&D Paving are sharing some of the best entertaining garden features you can incorporate to be the host with the most.
Celebrate With A Drink In Your Own Garden Bar
Even if you are tee-total, there is no denying that pubs and bars are a great setting for social occasions. These hubs of entertainment have long been a staple in many people’s social lives, but this can all change by creating your own garden bar.
Over the past few years, garden pubs and bars have become very popular. These entertaining garden features can be uniquely designed to suit your specific landscape, whether you choose to reuse your garden shed or summer house or build something new from scratch.
It is recommended for you to use a closed-in structure for your garden bar, as it means you can entertain no matter the weather. The bar can be adorned with lights, comfortable seating and all of your favourite tipples to become a hub of entertainment, suitable for any occasion.
Invite your friends over for a drink in your garden bar to celebrate big or small occasions. Enjoy the freedom of a cheap night out without worrying about the last orders being called before you’re ready!
Host Date Night With Al Fresco Dining
Al fresco dining is a simple, yet beautiful way to spend a summer’s evening. Having a meal outdoors, surrounded by light, colour, and beautiful scents can be truly romantic and no longer has to be reserved for holidays or special occasions.
With an outdoor dining area, you can enjoy al fresco dining whenever you desire. Date nights no longer have to be planned weeks in advance, and you can bring back a sense of spontaneity to your relationship with your own outdoor dining area.
It is easy to create a romantic setting for al fresco dining. A beautifully paved patio in elegant porcelain is a wonderful setting for an outdoor dining table and chairs and can be adored by lanterns, candles and romantic twinkle lights. Drape these lights around the fence, across the dining table or even overhead to create a warm, inviting ambience to set the tone for your romantic evening ahead.
Being at home means there is no need for babysitters, pet sitters and planning. Simply take your meal outdoors to spend some quality time with your partner, and enjoy the experience of being in a beautiful setting with the one you love.
Never Miss A Moment With An Outdoor Kitchen
Take outdoor dining a step further with an outdoor kitchen. Whether you opt for a rustic grill, modern appliances or even a pizza oven, outdoor kitchens can be a wonderful entertaining garden feature that adds value to your home and lifestyle.
With an outdoor kitchen, you never have to miss a moment of the action when cooking a meal for loved ones, as you remain in the centre. Avoid the mess of cooking indoors by having all the necessary appliances in your garden kitchen and remain involved in the action by cooking around your guests.
Outdoor kitchens are incredible entertaining garden features, as they are not just functional but attractive too. Our outdoor kitchens are custom-built using the highest quality materials to create a space that reflects your personal style the best. They can be fitted with a range of cooking appliances and adorned with decorative lights, covers and plants to complement your garden design.
Lights, Camera, Action: Projector Movie Nights
Projectors are becoming a popular part of home entertainment systems, and can also be one of the most effective entertaining garden features too. With a projector, the whole family can share a screen and bond over classic movies, new releases or even the latest episode of your favourite show.
Movie nights are the perfect excuse for a get-together and are suitable for people of all ages. Whether you’re hosting a child’s birthday party, a romantic evening for two or a family occasion, projects ensure that everyone has eyes on the action and are great for enhancing your night outdoors.
Imagine enjoying your favourite movie in the cool breeze of a summer evening, tucked into comfortable garden sofas, with the gentle flames of a chiminea, fire pit or even pizza oven. You are certain to create amazing memories and don’t even need to leave the house to do so!
Conclusion
Creating a hub of entertainment right at home has never been easier. There are countless entertaining garden features now available, ensuring that no matter your budget or style you can create a fun, engaging environment perfect for any occasion right on your doorstep.
From outdoor movie nights to al fresco dining and cocktails, the potential of your garden is endless with these entertaining garden features.
