In times like these, home is more than just a safe space. It’s where we find comfort, entertainment, and a place to have small gatherings. As the weather shifts from spring to summer, the backyard is essential to enjoying time outdoors.

Wooden rocking chairs in a cottage garden porch setting on wooden floor in vintage Thai botanical garden, with traditional Thai old water jar decoration.
Decorate with lush greenery, pots made of natural stones and reclining lawn chairs. If you have the space, feel free to create multiple resting spots to take in the sun or shade!
