Given the brief nature of Canadian summers , our opportunities to savor the outdoors are somewhat fleeting . I ' m passionate about crafting outdoor spaces that remain enjoyable right through to the season ' s end . Dining alfresco is a beloved tradition in my family .
First and foremost , focus on making your outdoor space cozy and welcoming , encouraging everyone to step outside . Design distinct areas and arrange seating that draws people into your backyard or patio . Envision transforming your outdoor area into a serene retreat where you can relish in summer dining experiences . I love this outdoor table set . It ’ s crafted from FSC Acacia wood , and boasts a timeless design with the added benefits of durability and eco-friendliness .
Every Canadian understands the importance of making the most out of our brief summer season . However , if you ' re like many Canadians who don ' t want mosquitoes around , I have the perfect solution for you . I fell in love with Thermacell years ago . The Thermacell Rechargeable E55 Mosquito Repeller helps Canadians enjoy their limited time outdoors by creating a 20ft ( 6m ) defense zone to keep mosquitoes away . I love the sleek design of the black version , but they have several colors to choose from . Now I can enjoy the summer evenings without the nuisance of mosquitoes .
Hosting outdoor dinner parties has become effortless . I truly appreciate it when brands contribute to making my life more streamlined . The new Samsung Bespoke fridge with Family Hub accomplishes exactly this . It has AI Vision Inside ™ that automatically recognizes what ' s going in and out of your fridge , making it the best trusty sidekick for a successful dinner party . You can access a list of what ' s in your fridge through the SmartThings app ** or Family Hub + screen to make sure you have everything you need for a delicious dinner . This saves me a trip home when I am already out to see what I need .
Enhancing my outdoor area with stunning accessories and tableware is something I absolutely adore ! HomeSense is a fantastic , convenient destination to add charm and brightness to your space . This season , their serving trays and lanterns have particularly caught my eye and I ' m loving them .
Once you introduce an outdoor rug , the outside becomes an extension of your home ' s interior . It ' s where interior design seamlessly blends with exterior living spaces and a Ruggable outdoor rug is the ideal element to unify these areas . Crafted to withstand the elements , these rugs are durable , resilient , and incredibly easy to maintain . When it ' s time for a clean , simply pop it in the washing machine .
