Even though the official start of Summer is only a few days away, many of us have already been enjoying Summer-like temperatures and activities. What a great time of year! It means many hours of daylight and warm nights spent outside.
Summer is also the time of year for alfresco entertaining. With more time being spent outside, those outdoor spaces are going to get a lot of use. For most of us, our patios and decks have been neglected for several months, which also means our patio furniture is probably in dire need of some TLC.
If you plan to host a few outdoor dinner parties this summer, now is the time to get your outdoor spaces ready for summer. Today, we thought we would provide some interior design inspiration {and hopefully some motivation} for sprucing up your outdoor spaces. Here are a few of our favorite outdoor spaces from recent interior design projects.

Some nice patio furniture and fresh flowers and plants are an effective way to make your outdoor space inviting.

Sunrooms are also an ideal place to entertain in the summer. Create a comfortable seating area with a nice dining table and chairs for guests to gather around and enjoy a meal together.

Adding candles to your outdoor space helps create a cozy ambiance when the sun goes down. You can still enjoy relaxing outside long past daylight.

Eating on the patio is one of the many things that people love about Summer. Create an unexpected eating area on your porch with mix-and-match seating along with a Summer-like tablescape full of fresh fruit and flowers.
