How to Spruce Up Your Outdoor Space for Summer

By Cassady Smith, Homesense Expert

Sprucing up your outdoor space for summer is such a fun opportunity to bring life back to your home before those beautiful months of outdoor entertainment. A great way to do this is by livening up your outdoor areas in simple ways with plants, textiles, and even some outdoor furniture. This year, I spruced up my deck space after buying several beautiful new planters from Homesense and filled them with varying ferns and florals. I filled in around my deck space and also added in a new bistro set to sit and enjoy a drink on those hot summer days!

For a patio space where a little privacy and/or whimsy is desired, I love to hang up outdoor sheer curtains! This is a great way to add texture and can make an outdoor space feel so dreamy. There is nothing quite like curtains blowing in the wind! They also can be very helpful for keeping the bugs away. 

Making sure to swap out your old outdoor accents for fresh and new ones can have such a high impact as well. Simply swapping outdoor pillows for a fresh pattern or color and replacing the old worn-down door mat can really spruce up your outdoor spaces. I love grabbing things like this at Homesense. It’s my go-to for buying home decor items because they have so much to offer in many varying styles. 

A simple clean up from winter debris followed up with swapping for new and fresh plants and decor items can make you feel like you’ve got a whole new outdoor space to enjoy for the beautiful warm weather ahead!
