I’ve been thinking a lot about how to make my backyard feel more like a peaceful retreat. Last weekend, I tried rearranging some old furniture and planting a few flowers, but it still feels kind of empty. I really want a space where friends can gather, maybe with some soft lighting and comfortable seating. I’ve been looking at different ways to add charm without spending too much, but honestly, it’s a bit overwhelming deciding what would look good and actually last through the seasons. Any tips from people who’ve done this before?
