\"How<\/p>\n

Hi everyone! Check out my 2019 Patio Style Challenge Sponsored by The Home Depot. I\u2019m grateful for the opportunity to reveal this sponsored post to you and demonstrate how I design an outdoor party space from scratch.<\/p>\n

Many of us have an empty outdoor space waiting to be filled with patio furniture<\/a>, outdoor accessories<\/a>, a grill<\/a> and fun \u2013 but we don\u2019t know where to start. Believe it or not, my design process usually starts at The Home Depot (where I can build, buy or accessorize everything for less).<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

Ready for Entertaining<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I\u2019m about to host a spring kick-off barbecue party. I have a bunch of decorating ideas that revolve around my choice of Hampton Bay\u2019s Laurel Oaks 4-piece Conversation Set<\/a> and Traeger\u2019s Pro 575 Smart Pellet Grill<\/a> with WiFIRE technology. They\u2019re both perfect choices for the way that I like to entertain.<\/p>\n

We chose our home with comfort and entertainment in mind. We have a large family and a lot of friends. The property includes rolling hills, a pond, waterfowl and wildlife \u2013 so it\u2019s great for nature lovers.\u00a0 What better way to share our ever-changing view and celebrate the change of the seasons than by throwing an outdoor barbecue party on our patio? The only problem is that the back patio is still unfurnished. The good news is\u2026that\u2019s all about to change as I design the perfect outdoor living space.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

Designing the Space<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The first consideration for furnishing the space is, how am I going to use it? I envision having large gatherings, as well as small. I really want my guests to feel comfortable. Transitioning from day to night should be effortless. I want the ability to re-arrange furniture pieces throughout the space, depending upon the occasion. I also want to create a sense of enclosure or coziness.\u00a0 Because that feeling makes people want to linger. People need to be able to eat, drink, and socialize easily.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

The Perfect Accessories<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Multi-functional accessories are a must \u2013 like a pouf that you can sit on, put your feet up on or set a plate on. I want to have the furnishings, food, drinks and grill right at my guests\u2019 fingertips. Above all, I want my furniture and accessory choices to be stylish and act like an extension of my interior spaces. With so many lovely choices available at The Home Depot, you are sure to find the one that\u2019s just right for you.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

Being the Best Host<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A huge part of our party\u2019s success is being hosts that anticipate our guests\u2019 every need. My family and I love interacting with everyone and making sure that their glasses and plates are full over the course of the entire party. We hate the thought of someone going home hungry because we didn\u2019t offer enough variety.<\/p>\n

I even have a DIY budget-friendly and stylish way to keep as many drinks cold as possible while keeping them in my guests\u2019 line of sight. I don\u2019t want anyone feeling uncomfortable about helping themselves! Best yet \u2013 this project won\u2019t break your outdoor entertaining budget.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

Proper Lighting at Night<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Another important part of entertaining outdoors is to provide soft, attractive lighting<\/a> after dark. It gently bathes your guests in a flattering glow instead of a harshly lit atmosphere and provides sure footing in an otherwise dark space. I\u2019m installing remote-controlled flameless candles and hanging string lights to create a safe and warmly lit environment. It\u2019s also a good idea to have a throw blanket nearby in case the evening gets a little chilly.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

Perfect Outdoor Entertaining Space<\/h3>\n

Good, old-fashioned, hospitality means that you give your guests a relaxed, homey atmosphere. We want people to linger well past the time they thought they might leave and leave wishing they had more time to stay. I feel like a movie director when I set up a space \u2013 interior or exterior. I play the party scene out in my head beforehand and it always has a happy ending. It will for you too, if you follow my simple outdoor entertaining tips.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

And remember\u2026this patio isn\u2019t just for parties. Make your space a reflection of you. Whether you want the solitude to read a book, sip a glass of lemonade, peruse catalogs, or simply feel like you\u2019re already on vacation, Hampton Bay\u2019s Laurel Oak Conversation Set<\/a> is really all you need. So, enjoy these pictures and try this project for yourself, I\u2019m sure that this sponsored collaboration with The Home Depot will help you achieve the comfort, style and value that you expect.<\/p>\n
