Or, host a “Tropical Luau” complete with tiki torches, floral prints, and a pineapple-heavy menu. For something more laid-back, a “Garden Movie Night” is perfect.

Start With Your Plan

Before you think about paint colors or cozy throws, ask yourself one simple question: what do you want this space to do for you? That answer shapes every other choice.
