Maximizing Your Summer Space

As we close out July and try our best to stay cool in this heat wave, what better time to refresh your outdoor space and make sure you're getting the most out of your home?

Whether it be a place to grill and share delicious food or to lounge out by the pool, here are some trends you won't want to miss this summer.

At Refeather Your Nest, we love pulling inspiration from the summer months like the vibrant floral colors or the bright blues of ocean water. Particularly in outdoor spaces, it's great to play into summer, while staying true to your personal aesthetic. Show your personality and favorite bright patterns or colors through umbrella choices - don't be afraid to get creative!

Poolside living: treat your home as your personal staycation location and think back to your favorite summer vacation resort to draw inspiration. Ledge loungers aka lounge chairs submerged in the pool, will be sure to turn heads and serve as the most comfortable relaxation spot that keeps you cool.

Similarly to the ledge loungers, consider an umbrella holder which can be drilled into the pool for sturdy application and maximum sun coverage while still getting to enjoy the pool water. Looking for another way to jazz up your pool? Bubblers can do just that! They're used to spray water around the sun ledges for those who are uninterested in shade and want the water to feel like it's moving underneath them.

Outdoor dining is an integral part of the summer months. This retractable roof features a fan, for obvious reasons, and serves as more seating off of the covered patio and outdoor kitchen. Think of this structure as an extension of your patio and additional living space. A TV could also be a nice addition to this space to really make it feel like vacationNeed inspiration to help your backyard feel like a personal paradise!
