Elements of the Perfect Outdoor Retreat
Let this summer be the summer that you make your outdoor living goals a reality. Pinterest and Instagram are great if you’re looking for inspiration, but sometimes you just need to make a few easy updates that will make a big difference. To help, we’ve come up with 5 elements that every outdoor retreat needs.
Lighting
When you are outdoors after hours, lighting is key. It sets the tone and helps keep the party going after the sun goes down—whether you’re hosting a large group or a party of two. At Keim, we like these Vintage LED Café Lights that can be strung up on beams to create a magical atmosphere. We also have a variety of solar-powered lanterns as well that can help highlight your landscaping and pathways.
Seating
Summer is the perfect time to extend your living area outside. If you already have a porch, patio, deck, or pavilion, we recommend you invest in some great outdoor furniture that will stand the test of time, like this Adirondack glider. (We like the Mahogany/Black version.) If you want something unique and trendy, check out our Palmdale Brown Steel Hanging Chair. It’s sure to be the prized seat at your next gathering.

Plants
If you’re looking for instant atmosphere, outdoor plants are a must. You definitely don’t need to be a master gardener to enjoy a little more greenery in your life. Buy a few plants at your local greenhouse and we’ll fix you up with a self-watering planter so you can easily keep your plants healthy and lush throughout the season.
Cold Drinks
No matter where the summer takes you, you will need a portable cooler to keep your beverages and snacks cool while you are on the go. We recommend the YETI Hopper Flip 18, a flip top soft cooler that looks sharp anywhere you take it: to the beach or to your backyard. We also stock pretty much every Yeti product you can imagine in our Home Center.
Outdoor Rugs
If you really want to up your game, go one step further to let your living room spill outside. Unroll an indoor/outdoor rug or place some matching outdoor throw pillows on the furniture. These touches are sure to create a cozy atmosphere that keep you returning day after day.
