Beautiful backyard with garden and chair in Florida

One of the reasons we love living in Florida is that patio season lasts nearly all year long. And what better way to enjoy the superlative weather than in the comfort of your own backyard? 

If you own a Florida home with a backyard or deck, you may be considering sprucing up your outdoor living area so that you can make the most of the beautiful climate and scenery.

Backyard upgrades will not only make your outdoor area look more attractive, but they can also add value to your home. Here are a few easy ways you can refresh your outdoor living space.

Revamp Your Cushions

Give your patio furniture an instant upgrade with a new set of covers. Cushion covers can be very inexpensive and come in a wide range of colors and patterns. Choose tones and designs that match your outdoor decor or get creative and add bright pops of color. A few small tweaks can change the entire look of your patio.

Lay Down an Outdoor Rug

Who said rugs are only for indoors? An outdoor rug can make a bold statement on your patio or simply create more definition to your outdoor living area. Look for rugs that are specifically made for outdoors, as they will likely be made with weather resistant materials that won’t deteriorate with too much exposure to sun and rain.

Put Up a Pergola

Pergolas don’t only look great, but they also create shade for those sunny Florida days. They also create a cozy area for entertaining and just relaxing. You don’t have to spend a lot to create a beautiful pergola. A simple structure can benefit from additions like flowing curtains, hanging lights or climbing vines. 

Level Up Your Landscaping

Beautify your outdoor living space with some next-level landscaping. Clean up your lawn and any areas with dead branches or overgrowth. Then you might want to look into adding flowering shrubs, trees for shade or stone planters. A stone pathway will also add to the aesthetics and create a nice flow around your backyard or garden.

Install Outdoor Lighting

Is your backyard a dark and dreary place after the sun sets? The right lighting can create ambiance and highlight the best features of your garden, deck or patio. There are so many options when it comes to outdoor lighting including lanterns, hanging lights, feature lights and string lights.

Add a Fire Pit

What better way to create beautiful backyard memories with family and friends than gatherings around a glowing fire pit? DIY fire pits are easy to create, although you can also buy electric or gas models that don’t require much in the way of digging and landscaping. Just be sure to check the fire regulations in your community.

Invest in a Bar Cart

Why run back and forth between inside and out to freshen your guest’s drinks when you can have everything you need right on hand? A portable bar cart will add a touch of class to your backyard setup and allow you to have drinks, ice and glasses within easy reach. Better yet, you can wheel it inside if the weather takes a downturn.
