Privacy in your backyard is very important when you live in close proximity to your neighbors. These easy ways to create a private entertaining space are essential for every backyard.
Outdoor curtains
Hanging simple outdoor curtains not only make your space very private but they give a soft whimsy to your backyard. To save money on pre-made outdoor panels, simply buy painter's canvas drop clothes from your local hardware store and attach grommets to the top. They have a beautiful linen look for a fraction of the price.
Greenery Screens
A screen is one of the best ways in giving privacy to your backyard. A horizontal, linear screen adds a modern touch or build a classic lattice screen for a traditional entertaining space. A leafy vine growing up these screens not only adds more privacy but brings natural greenery.
A Classic Pergola
A well built pergola adds definition to an outdoor space, privacy and shelter from the rays. There are many different styles of pergolas so make sure you have the perfect one built to suite your overall look for your backyard. I love placing a dining table underneath the structure and hanging some beautiful lanterns and twinkle lights to really set an intimate mood for your dinners with family and friends. Growing vines up the columns and top boards give even more privacy and shade to your backyard.
Cedar Trees
Having a fully landscaped backyard can be fairly expensive and may take a few years to really grow to the size. Adding a perimeter of cedar trees, to your backyard, instantly adds the privacy we all desire. They are fairly dense, grow to be tall and best of all maintenance free, which are some of the great features of this tree.
All of these options offer an abundance of privacy and will allow you to feel comfortable entertaining your guests for summers to come!
