Yet is not even spring, but time is passing by fast, and you will need to start imediatly to improve your spring-summer relaxing space. Yes, the outdoor area. Even if is a patio, a porch, a small garden, you will get to use it. And why not preapring them,so when the touch of warm sun will strike to be able to enjoy it in a nice area that will make you fill confortable.
First of all, you need to set up some dimensions of the area you will want to use, so you will know the number of furniture pieces you will be able to place, and the dimension of them.
If you already managed the first step you need to purchase the furniture.
Step one, start with an outdoor sofa and armchairs. Try to pick one that is water and sun proof. So it won't heat and crack after first month. And for the fabric you better pick one with removeble upholster, this way its easier to wash and change up without having to buy a new sofa.
If you have enough space, place a coffe table. Either is just a simple one or one with a fireplace included. In case you are lacking space add just some end tables, just enough to be able to put a cup of coffe and and maybe some candles, in case of necesity .
If your floors are made out of concrete, you will definitely need to start adding some floor decking.
It might be nice in the summer the cold concrete, but its also dangerous especially when you are barefoot. Plus it will make the hole place to look cold.

If this sound's too complicated, then just add an outdoor rug and you will be safe.
Now the lasts important element is the sunproof and windproof. You might like the sun, but you need to stay protected under it, so use some classic umbrellas, canopies or retractable pergolas.
Big elements are all on set. Get to another important step. Decoration.
From flower pots, to candles, whatever you think you will like to decorate with. As long as the place won't look like an open market, you are free to add whatever you like.
