Intimate + Fidel Cozy Home Diaries: Vintage Patio Designs for Your Backyard


Rest your mind and body, enjoy open air living, welcome guests and friends and see every sunset.

Get hooked on summer:
Here are the items you need to make your outdoor space comfortable, pleasing and homey for sunny days and warm nights.

- A steady pre-loved coffee or picnic table
- 2 to 3 chairs
- Some cushions
- An outdoor rug/ mat
- Plant holders or baskets
- An extra side table for plants
- Outdoor lamps
- A lounger or day bed
- An umbrella / sun shade
- A vase or art piece
- Two to three blankets

How to set it up:
Lay out the rug in an open, flat space. Put the coffee table in the middle or just off to one side. Set out the chairs around the table. Leave an open spot for the lounger. Use it by itself or as extra seating. Place the side table near one of the chairs. The umbrella is for shade on very sunny days. Add flowers or plants to the baskets/holders as a pop of colour or green interest. Dress up your area with the outdoor lamps and for light at night. Add the vase or art piece to the centre of the main table as a final touch.
**Use the blankets on cool and chilly nights.

Where to look:
Get it at a neighbourhood shop. Make a yard sale
find. Shop at an antique store.
