5 Easy outdoor additions to transform your patio or balcony into paradise for the summer



Large Planters


Placing large-scale planters with flowering shrubs like hydrangeas will create colorful festive spaces with dimension. Or try planting evergreens like boxwood or cypress in them to create beautiful year-round greenery in temperate climates.







Lighting


Swag a beautiful pendant or hang string lights over your outdoor seating area to create a space you’ll be able to enjoy all day and then late into the night.








Comfortable Seating


Remember to consider comfort when choosing outdoor furniture; it’s often the make-or-break between how much you’ll love sitting there or whether you’ll avoid it altogether.





More Shade


Adding a large overarching umbrella or sail-shade over your seating area will protect you from rain and harsh afternoon shade and let you enjoy your outdoor space more often, for longer.






Outdoor Rug


Adding an outdoor rug to your balcony or patio can transform an uninviting space into a loungey barefoot hangout that will feel more like your living room and less like a waiting room.
