Now that the weather is getting warmer, we're bound to spend more time outside. Luckily, it’s easy to transform your backyard (or front yard) into a beautiful oasis without spending a ton of money! Here are some tips and tricks for backyard additions that will turn your outdoor space into a sanctuary. These family-approved additions to your backyard, including ideas for DIY landscaping and affordable decorations, will make it even more enjoyable to spend time together with your loved ones in the comfort of your own home.

The fastest and easiest way to transform your backyard is to add a durable, weather-proof outdoor rug to your patio! This is also a great way to cover up a deck that’s starting to show signs of wear without having to stain or paint the whole space. We love the reversible, easy-to-clean outdoor rugs from Fab Habitat . They’re available in multiple sizes and colours and are even made from 100% recycled plastic! They’re a stylish and environmentally-friendly way to add a pop of colour and design to your backyard.

The key to spending more time enjoying your outdoor space is to make it as comfortable and welcoming as possible - you can do this with some cozy patio furniture. Give yourself and guests a place to relax and soak up the sun with weather-proof chairs or couches. An outdoor dining table set is also essential for enjoying relaxing summer dinners outside.
