Don’t let the colder weather get you down. When it comes to outside entertaining, you can create a cozy space with a few key modifications—even in chilly weather.
Treat your outdoor space like another room
Furnish your outdoor space with an all-weather rug, plenty of seating, and enough table space to serve your guests a nice, warm beverage. The Suncast Backyard Oasis works wonders as both a serving center and a storage box, making it a perfect multi-function addition to your space.
Longer nights call for extra lights
Bright, cheery lighting can take your outdoor space from drab to gorgeous with just the flip of a switch. If you don’t have an outdoor outlet, or your space is too exposed, try a camping lantern, string lights, or other battery-operated device meant for outdoor use.
Fire up the firepit or outdoor heater
Nothing says cozy quite like a firepit! If you’re on a budget or looking for a new DIY project, you can even try building one from scratch. Just make sure to follow safety precautions when you’re ready to show off your work! Check out our recent blog post for even more firepit tips and tricks.
Stock up on blankets
Keep plenty of cozy blankets around and stash them in a safe, dry spot like a deck box when not in use. Try to find washable blankets, since they may get more messy when used outside! Pro tip—toss the blankets into the dryer for 15 minutes before going outside to get that extra warm-and-toasty feeling.
Blow the competition away
If leaves and debris are making it difficult to maintain your space, stash a leaf blower nearby for quick and easy cleanup. The 134 Gallon Extra Large Deck Box is a great choice, providing ample room for your essential tools and accessories. It’s durable, stylish, and even provides extra seating! And with convenient storage close at hand, cleanup will be that much easier!
