Perfect for us Canadians who can’t do every month of the year outdoors, this fully-sheltered backyard will provide the perfect inspiration. Not only does it have a pool, but it’s also split into a few different pools so that each one of your siblings can hop in without disturbing mom and dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Maximizing a Small Space<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In some cities, outdoor space is at a premium. However, that doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice a little slice of heaven. The right furniture and an urban garden make all the difference for decorating a small space<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Private Escape in Your Backyard<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Taking an indoor space and turning it into an outdoor getaway might be just what your yard needs to take your summer from loud and busy to quiet and serene. Add a bookshelf and some art to spice up a patio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Cityscape Views for Miles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not only would we love to warm up next to this fireplace, but we’d also love to watch the sunset on the city skyline every single summer night. Nothing says backyard inspiration quite like an infinity pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. Small Details Make a Big Difference<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Seeing as we won’t all be fortunate enough to experience a backyard with an infinity pool quite like the previous photo \u2014 something as small as an area rug, wood panels or finished concrete will help an outside space look more polished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11. Bring the Rainforest Straight to Your Backyard<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Everyone has seen dull patio tiles \u2014 but not everyone has used them to create an artsy walkway. Your guests will feel like they’re walking up this summers hottest red carpet, with a little bit more green in the mix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
