10 Tips to Create a Cozy Backyard
Whether you're planning a backyard glow-up or simply dreaming of lazy summer afternoons, a cozy outdoor space is the ultimate warm-weather escape. From soft textures and natural tones to functional design pieces that actually look good, here’s how to create a backyard oasis that’s equal parts stylish and serene.
And yes—every dreamy setup should include a LYKKE Designer Inflatable Adult Kiddie Pool. 😉
1. 💧 Start with a Stylish Centerpiece: The LYKKE Designer Inflatable Pool
Skip the eyesore blue plastic pools and opt for a LYKKE Designer Inflatable Pool in Dusty Rose, Sage Green, or Modern White. With its art deco-inspired patterns and minimalist design, it’s the perfect blend of fashion and function—for adults, kids, and everyone in between.
2. 🪴 Add Layers of Lush Greenery
Nothing says cozy like bringing the outdoors to life. Layer in potted plants, hanging planters, and tropical greens to soften the space and add instant calm. Pro tip: mix tall palms with ground-level foliage for visual depth.
3. 🪑 Mix Natural Materials
Wicker chairs, bamboo tables, terracotta pots, and woven rugs ground your space in earthy textures. They also pair beautifully with the soft tones of the LYKKE pools.
4. 🌞 Create Zones for Lounging & Relaxing
Set up areas with lounge chairs, side tables, and hanging chairs. Keep plush cushions and light throws handy for post-pool lounging.
5. 🕯️ Light it Up with Cozy Glow
Use lanterns, string lights, or solar-powered garden lamps to add a warm, ambient glow in the evening. Bonus: they make everything look magical after dark.
6. ☀️ Embrace Soft, Soothing Colors
Lean into trending neutrals like sage, oat, and blush. The LYKKE Designer Inflatable Pool colors are specifically chosen to work beautifully with warm woods, greenery, and pastel accents.
7. 🎶 Curate a Backyard Playlist
Soft acoustic guitar, lo-fi beats, or tropical chill? Music adds an instant vibe. Create a dedicated playlist that matches your mood—whether it's zen or upbeat.
8. 👒 Add Personality with Vintage & Boho Accents
Vintage planters, boho umbrellas, and macramé wall hangings add warmth and charm. Don't be afraid to bring indoor decor touches outside.
9. 📷 Make It Photo-Friendly
A cozy space should also be camera-ready. Whether it's for family memories or your next Pin-worthy moment, choose details that pop on camera—like the textured surface of your LYKKE Designer Inflatable Pool or a cute striped towel draped just right.
10. 🥂 Keep it Functional and Fun
Cozy should never mean cluttered. Use multi-use furniture, storage-friendly baskets, and functional pieces like the LYKKE pool, which is easy to inflate, store, and clean.
