With the holiday season approaching fast, many of us are starting to get ready for gatherings as COVID-19 restrictions begin to ease in some states. Indoor space can sometimes be limited, which is why creating an entertainment area in your yard can be a great choice. You can social distance while still enjoying family fun! In this article, we are going to talk about six additions to turn your yard into the perfect entertainment space. Let’s get started!

1. Outdoor Seating

The very first step to creating the perfect outdoor entertainment space is to find the right seating. You want to make sure everyone is comfy, of course! There are many options available so you can find something to suit the area and space you have available. From dining sets to outdoor lounges, hammocks, and swing chairs, the options are endless! Just make sure that it is appropriate for the outdoor weather, especially if there isn’t any cover from the rain.

2. Water Features

Water features are a great décor piece for any outdoor area, as they can help break the silence and add to a more relaxed atmosphere. If you are limited on space, you might even consider outdoor wall fountains. They are a great statement piece and can keep the floor area free for your seating and furniture.

3. Hot Tub

If you really want to splurge and create the ultimate outdoor area, then a hot tub is a must. While they can be expensive, they are an excellent addition for parties and can be used all year round. Just make sure you have enough space and also take into consideration the maintenance costs. Changing the water and cleaning it can add up to be quite a significant expense.

4. Outdoor Kitchen

No outdoor entertainment area is complete without an outdoor kitchen! A barbeque and storage area is fantastic for dinner parties and holiday events. However, when creating an outdoor cooking area, there are certain things that you need to consider. You’ll need refrigeration, enough room for all of your utensils and preparation space, of course! You don’t want to be running back in and out all the time to get things from inside.

5. Sound System

Music is a necessary addition for any party, so if you want to create the perfect atmosphere, a sound system for your outdoor area is essential. However, you want to make sure that you get the right one. Just like your furniture, some speakers will not cope with being outside in certain conditions.

6. Privacy Walls 

Lastly, one thing that can often be forgotten about, but can make a big difference, is high privacy screens or fences. If you have nosy neighbors or just want a little bit more privacy, these can certainly be a great addition. They don’t have to cost a lot of money and come in a range of designs so that they don’t ruin the area’s look. It’s a win-win!

And that’s it! These were six different additions to turn your yard into the ultimate outdoor space. What do you think? Are there any other items that you would add to this list?
