Creating Outdoor Entertainment Areas For The Whole Family
Your garden can become an incredible extension of the home, offering more space for any hosting occasion, with the right care and design. Whether you are planning on becoming a better host or already have some plans in the works, making some upgrades to your garden can make this more rewarding.
Creating outdoor entertainment areas means your garden can be ready for any occasion. From outdoor movie nights to parties and events, incorporating some fun into your garden design can make all the difference.
In this guide, Ideal Building & Landscapes are sharing the best outdoor entertainment ideas to suit any outdoor space so you can prepare for a summer of fun.
Why Create An Entertaining Garden?
Whether you are a social butterfly or simply want to make more time for family, creating outdoor entertainment areas can make it easier. The garden is an extension of the home and can be used as a whole new room with the right care and design.
Instead of worrying about keeping your home pristine and allowing guests to trail through at all hours of the day, use your garden as a hosting hub. Incorporate outdoor entertainment areas in your garden design to maximise the potential of this space and experience the joys that can come with hosting a successful event.
With all this potential on your doorstep, you can make more time for the most important people in your life and never have to miss another occasion. You can save money by celebrating at home without compromising on style and experience by creating a fun, entertaining garden.
Outdoor Entertainment Areas For Any Garden
Renovating your garden to make it more entertaining can be easily done by creating separate areas and zones. Adding some unique upgrades and design elements can transform even the most basic garden design into an entertainment hub for the whole family.
Some of the best outdoor entertainment areas to incorporate this year include:
Al Fresco Date Nights And Dinner Parties
Al fresco dining is a magical experience that is usually reserved for holidays abroad or special occasions. However, by creating outdoor entertainment areas that are specifically designed for dining, you can experience this joy whenever you desire.
Creating your own al fresco dining area is easier than you think – set the foundation with a stunning paved patio and furniture accordingly. As the UK is not as blessed with the sun as your favourite holiday destination may be, a pergola or canopy may also be required over your dining area so you can use it in all weather conditions.
Set the tone for a romantic evening with twinkle lights scattered over the pergola and tea lights on the table. Alternatively, add a coloured tablecloth, some LED lights and upbeat music to create a warm, welcoming vibe for a family dinner party.
Garden Bars For Any Occasion
While being a landlord may not have been a goal for you so far, there are certainly perks to the role that you can experience with your own garden bar. These outdoor entertainment areas are incredibly popular, as more people are spending time at home to escape the expense and stress of going out,
Instead of facing the crowds on a Friday night, unwind from the working week and relax with your favourite people in your own private bar. Whether a concealed garden room kitted out with your favourite drinks or an open, tikki-style structure complete with bar stools and cocktails, garden bars come in all shapes and sizes.
Garden bars are the perfect setting for big and small occasions, from birthday parties and anniversaries to weekend get-togethers. You don’t have to plan for travel, time off or spending with these outdoor entertainment areas, as all your favourite drinks can be on tap at any time. Even better, you don’t have to cut the party short for last orders!
Projector Movie Nights
Turn any surface into a cinema screen with home projectors and experience the joys of a drive-in movie without needing a vehicle. Projectors can be used to stream classic movies, new releases or even episodes of your favourite show on the walls, fences, or side of your home.
Movie nights are a great occasion to spend quality time with the family and are a suitable event for people of all ages, based on what you choose to show. Adorn the garden with comfortable seating, blankets and cushions as well as soft lighting to create your own outdoor cinema.
Make sure to have snacks and drinks flowing throughout the night, whether you roast marshmallows on the fire pit or pop popcorn over the barbeque, the whole experience can be enjoyed outdoors.
Barbeques And Outdoor Kitchens
Get cooking outdoors to feed your guests and make sure you never have to miss a moment. From fully equipped garden kitchens to traditional barbeques and stone fires, you can cook incredible meals and snacks right from your garden.
Perfect for occasions during the day or late in the evening, these outdoor entertainment areas allow you to remain the centre of the conversation while also providing food for your guests.
Take the midweek dinner to a whole new level by cooking outdoors or savour a special occasion by sharing your love for nature and food with loved ones in the garden.
