Most of us are looking for ways to maximize the space we have available in our homes, particularly with kids. Once you have kids it can seem like toys and play spaces swallow up any extra room you might have at one point had in your home.
One good way to expand the space where you can live and maximize what you have available to you is to use the outdoors. This can include decks, lawns and other parts of your home that aren’t inside.
There are a lot of different ways you can make family-friendly outdoor spaces; the following are some tips.
Shade Outdoor Areas
One of the best ways to use the space you have outdoors is to make it as comfortable as possible, particularly if it’s a place you’re going to want your kids to play. If you have a deck or patio, you can create a space that feels instantly like a room by adding outdoor patio sun shades. It’s almost like enclosing the space for a fraction of what you would spend if you actually did enclose it.
There are outdoor shades that will cool the space you have available and will block UV rays at the same time. Many of these shades are designed so as not to obstruct the outdoor view, and they’re just a really good way to make outdoor areas more family-friendly and livable.

Create a Dining Area
There’s a lot to love about having a family-friendly outdoor dining area. First, the more meals you can have outdoors, the less you have to worry about cleaning up indoors. If food drops outside, it’s not necessarily a huge deal.
It can also be good not only from a family-friendly perspective but also if you like to entertain.
