Furniture for Relaxing:

Comfortable seating is the perfect way to enjoy the lazy days of summer. Enjoy a daybed with added privacy, a reclining lawn chair with a face hole for tanning, or a gently rocking hammock.

Magical Outdoor Lighting:

Brighten your space with outdoor lighting. Hang string lights or patio lanterns in a tree, over the patio, or alongside your fence line to achieve the perfect glow. They’re subtle enough to remain discreet during the day, but they’re sure to shine at night. Use string lights as a supplementary light source to your outdoor lighting for the perfect ambiance.

A Refreshing Element

Everyone loves a pool! A less expensive option could be a plunge pool which is smaller than a swimming pool and is just deep enough for lounging in and cooling off. A hot tub or jacuzzi is a great way to relax at the end of a day
