The key to fully enjoying your deck, patio, or screened in porch? Setting it up to remain organized and easy to use all season long. We have some tips to help.

Outdoor Dishes and Utensils

If you enjoy dining outside, organize your outdoor dishes, utensils, and other supplies so they are always ready to bring out back. A large, sturdy tray with handles make a perfect caddy for these things, stored inside so you're ready to host a backyard barbecue any time. 

Keep the tray stocked with shatterproof or disposable dishes, napkins, toothpicks, and barware. You may also want to keep a caddy of s'mores supplies if you have fire pit or campfire area on the property. This way all you have to do is grab the condiments from the fridge and you are ready for dinner. 

Narrow Shelving

A narrow shelving unit by the door can be the perfect catch all spot to keep things organized. Coordinating baskets and cubbies can store sunscreen, kids' toys, sandals, and any other miscellaneous items you want to keep tidy. 

Blankets

Many nights are warm enough not to need them, but it's always nice to have a stash of outdoor blankets on hand. These can be stored in a watertight basket on the porch or deck so they are ready any time to keep the party going if the temperatures drop.

Bug Off

Texas Hill Country is a great place to live or vacation; unfortunately, the mosquitos agree. Keep a good stock of bug spray on hand, and consider adding bug repellant bracelets, diffusers, or citronella candles as well to keep everyone comfortable. If you live on the water, this should be a particular priority.

Multi-Functional Seating

As you shop for patio furniture, look for multi-functional pieces that can provide storage in addition to seating. Under a bench is the perfect place to store lake toys, outdoor towels, bug spray, and other outdoor necessities. 

You can also look for tables that have insulated storage compartments so they can double as a drink cooler. Creative furniture solutions will dramatically increase the convenience and functionality of your outdoor space. 

Weatherproof Furniture for Creative Solutions

If you are looking for a beautiful and creative furniture piece to add some design interest, consider weatherproofing an antique or unique piece like an armoire. This can become a great place to showcase potted plants or transform into an outdoor bar, all while bringing new life to an older piece of furniture.
