Whether you already have a hot tub or Jacuzzi out in your backyard or you plan on adding one, it doesn’t really matter because what we want to suggest is actually related to the area around it.

Most often than not backyard would have benches or chairs placed around a fire pit but that’s not for everyone. If you’d much rather create a relaxing, zen area in your backyard, replace the fire pit with a water feature. Doesn’t this look amazing?

Outdoor furniture gets exposed to all sorts of things, including rain and fluctuating temperatures so it’s important for it to be strong and durable. Of course, you also want it to look nice and to be comfortable. Consider using cushions and decorative pillows to change the decor and the ambiance in an instant.

Vertical planters are a particularly great idea if you want to save some space in case you have a tiny backyard but they can also be a cool project if you simply want to add more greenery to your backyard or to make the space look more modern and you want to try something different from the usual flower beds and flat lawn sections.

A little backyard playhouse

You know else would look cool in the backyard? A little playhouse, like a secret hideout disguised as an abstract sculpture or a pile of wood. You could also hide it among all the greenery or train vines and plants to grow on it. Alternative, you can just make it look like a cute little shed or a treehouse.

Tree swing

If by any chance you have a big tree in your backyard, you most definitely have to hang a swing from one of its branches. You might even get away with improvising a support for the swing in case you don’t have a tree to work with. Either way, this would be a fun and charming addition to any backyard or garden.
