Outdoor Entertaining - Creating the Perfect Space for Entertaining Guests
Hours of sunshine and blooming gardens create an inviting space which makes it difficult to
resist spending time outdoors. Creating the ideal outdoor entertainment space becomes a
priority during these warm summer months. Investing in a striking set of outdoor furniture
can spruce up your backyard, while a few garden structures can add ambiance to your garden.
According to the 2013 Residential Landscape Architecture Trends Survey, 94.5% of
homeowners enjoy entertaining their guests outdoors.¹ As the popularity of outdoor
entertaining grows, we at Fifthroom would like to offer three great tips to help you create the
ideal outdoor space for entertaining your guests.
1. Create Your Space
The secret to outdoor entertaining is to create a protected and comfortable space in which to
host your guests. 81.6% of homeowners prefer to entertain their guests under pergolas,
making a freestanding or wall-mounted pergola ideal for creating a defined and intimate
space. In addition to the outer structure, investing in a distinctive outdoor furniture set is sure
to lend the space an inviting feel.
Have fun with your furniture! Instead of the conventional table and chair setup, make use of
innovative and creative new styles by adding something distinctive to the mix. A backless
garden bench could add a little home-spun flavor, and a variety of mismatched chairs could
help add up to a shabby-chic look. Whatever your style preference, Fifthroom’s range of
outdoor furniture is beautifully crafted, recognized for its resistance to damage and decay,
and is available in a variety of colors and designs.
2. Add Character
Nothing adds character like bright splashes of color and bold, punchy patterns. Update your
backyard with a handful of statement pieces that are sure to add a vibrant feel to your
entertainment space. To ensure that you stick to your budget, begin by selecting an outdoor
décor color scheme and then build onto it.
Place colored flower pots, in various shades and shapes, into the corners of your pergola
while adding a few thick, comfortable cushions to complement the chairs. These will add
some color and contrast while ensuring that your guests are comfortable. To avoid clutter,
keep your outdoor décor simple yet vibrant. Opt for weather resistant and washable fabrics to
avoid intense cleaning sessions.
3. Ambiance is Key
Creating a pleasant ambiance is essential when creating the perfect outdoor entertainment
space. Use tea-light candles to achieve a romantic atmosphere, or string a line of colorful
lanterns along your pergola to highlight your décor. Whether you are hosting a party or an
intimate dinner, the soft, warm glow of lanterns and candles will create the ideal intimate
setting. Enhance the atmosphere by adding attractive outdoor lighting, from footpath or post
cap lights to hassle-free solar powered lamps. 85.1% of homeowners feel that ambient
lighting is important to their outdoor entertainment setup.

Keep in mind that your outdoor space should not only be for entertaining, but it should also
act as a place that offers an escape from your daily routine; a space where you can relax.
