Our home represents love, individuality, lived in moments, and memories that will forever be instilled in our kids. That is our family culture and we wanted to ensure that our outdoor space reflects the same warmth as inside our home. Why not create an entertaining hub for our friends and family and why not have everything right here on our property? A place to entertain and a family-friendly patio is perfection in my mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Pairing Functionality &amp; Style<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Home Depot had everything I needed to customize and transform my outdoor space. Being a children\u2019s clothing designer; looks, quality, and function is important, and THD allowed me to bring my vision to life. I loved having the variety of colors to choose from. There were so many combinations available and it made it really easy to make my personal style feel \u00a0incorporated to each design.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-109577 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/84167c1de3b40fe0ef47d70ab237270f.jpg\" alt=\"The Perfect Outdoor Space for Families: A Family-Friendly Patio\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Outdoor Dining<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of my favorite areas of our patio is the outdoor dining area. We are so busy that it\u2019s extremely important to me to have meals as a family to take that time to slow down and catch up. We chose the<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.homedepot.com\/p\/Home-Decorators-Collection-Camden-Light-Brown-7-Piece-Wicker-Outdoor-Dining-Set-with-Sunbrella-Canvas-Spa-Cushions-FRA80866SCWST\/302217907?cm_mmc=socialmedia%7Capronblog%7CD28O%7C000000%7CUyenCarlson%7C109573\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Camden dining set<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and love how sturdy and stylish the set is.

Since I wanted to encompass function in each particular area I designed, I kept in mind the possibility of moving around different pieces to accomplish many looks. To me, it\u2019s important that pieces be versatile and can be styled many ways. Whether you need a space to relax or a space to gain inspiration, The Home Depot provides endless possibilities. Having this spot in the corner of our front patio is the perfect way to get some me time in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-109578 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/50e077a27a9981c1a9315ff22c86a32a.jpg\" alt=\"The Perfect Outdoor Space for Families: A Family-Friendly Patio\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We love cuddling around our fire pit and making s\u2019mores. It\u2019s nice to know that these patio sets have cushion guards standing up to tough stains. Letting us enjoy these moments without worrying about spills. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-109574 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/98167cc5d003f14f33775e1d10edcc9e.jpg\" alt=\"The Perfect Outdoor Space for Families: A Family-Friendly Patio\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-109575 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/c5ec7b3a2b757087920ae1802603ee4e.jpg\" alt=\"The Perfect Outdoor Space for Families: A Family-Friendly Patio\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">My kids favorite thing to do is outdoor movie nights.

Nothing is more magical than twinkling lights and giggles under the stars. Adding some pillows and rugs helps makes the space a unique and provides a cozy experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-109582 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/7ff719883969960f68791c3781696a63-1.jpg\" alt=\"The Perfect Outdoor Space for Families: A Family-Friendly Patio\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Bringing it all Together<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Seeing our outdoor space come together has been such a great process to go through. We see the value of investing in these pieces and know we are creating an opportunity to bond with our family. I loved tackling this patio makeover and even more so, creating our family culture that will be everlasting now and forever. We are a Home Depot family.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-109576 size-full\"
