I know we all hate to see summer go, but by October, it’s safe to say that long warm days are a thing of the past and the cooler fall weather is on its way.
Just because the temperatures have dropped, though, doesn’t mean you can’t keep using your outdoor space.
Fall outdoor living
With a little bit of planning and some easy modifications, you can keep using your patio or deck well into the cooler months.
By adding a little bit of landscaping, plants, and other elements, you can create a space that feels just as cozy as your home.
Here are a few tips for getting the most out of your yard as the weather gets cooler.
Add a little heat
There is nothing cozier than a firepit or other heat source on a cool evening.
Fire pits are a great gathering area for family and friends – and who doesn’t love roasted marshmallows!
If a firepit isn’t a good option for you, there are other heat source options that can add warmth. Outdoor heaters come in a range of prices and options depending on your space and budget.
Add some cover
A little protection from the elements can go a long way in making sure your space is comfortable in the fall months.
Windbreaks, either natural or manmade, can add privacy and protect you from the wind. An awning or other overhead cover can protect you from any rain while keeping the heat in.
Add some finishing touches
Comfy places to sit, blankets, throw pillows, and warm lighting are all excellent ways to make sure your outdoor space is just as comfortable as your indoor space.
Consider keeping some cozy essentials close at hand for anyone who needs them.
