You don’t really have to worry about your outdoor space. There are several things you can do to maximize the space you have outdoor. With these simple ideas, you can turn a smaller space into a seemingly larger space than it should be. Here are some easy ways to maximize your outdoor space for the holidays:

• Keep it simple

There’s always truth in the saying, less is more. This is true in an outdoor party setting. When you set up your outdoor venue, avoid having too much of everything. For instance, clear the walkways, walls and corners. Instead of decorative items like big potted plants, prefer a bench so guests can sit down and relax.

Keep the colors simple and beautiful

• Minimize the colors

As you know, contrasting colors will tend to create boundaries that will make an area look smaller than it is. This can be prevented by choosing only a couple of colors to fill your outdoor setting. It is best to select light and bright colors like white, sky blue, lavender and yellow. These colors expand and complement your lighting to provide a wider illusion in your open area.

• Highlight your largest structure

If your patio occupies a large area in your backyard, then take advantage of its size. You can make it as the highlight of your setting where you can place your feast table and party backdrop. This structure should provide the impression of a spacious area for such an edifice.

Now that you have these outdoor space solutions, you better have your invites ready for a holiday party. This time, size doesn’t matter. What Christmas decorations will you use this year for your holiday home?
