There was a time when our home was a place we came to eat and sleep in. Now, it is a full-time hangout zone. Millennials, in particular, have begun to place a higher value on indoor life and the idea of hosting people at home. &ldquo;Whether it&rsquo;s a game night with close friends, a barbecue, or even an intimate wedding, people are looking to invest more within the four walls and especially the outdoor spaces,&rdquo; says Solomon Dillon, Creative Director with Beruru, Bengaluru. He adds that outdoor spaces are given a lot more consideration when a couple is looking to move into a new house. &ldquo;Real estate behemoths are increasingly marketing their homes citing the size of the balcony, garden area, or overall outdoor space accessible in the neighbourhood,&rdquo; he points out. &ldquo;This transition has been happening slowly but has become more aggressive post the pandemic.&rdquo;<img src="https://magztertemp.s3.amazonaws.com/Femina/1641907428/articles/61deda05d56df/1641994663944.jpg" width="300" />Backyards and terraces are no longer only limited to hosting boring plastic chairs but have evolved to boast elements such as kitchen gardens, bamboo furniture, cushions in canvas, and outdoor lighting. Outdoor living not only promotes a healthy lifestyle but also offers you room for recreation, relaxation, and breathing fresh air. Dillon shares ways by which you can spruce up your home with outdoor furniture.<img src="https://magztertemp.s3.amazonaws.com/Femina/1641907428/articles/61deda05d56df/1641994664672.jpg" width="300" /><ul>	<li>	Choose multi-use outdoor furniture. Pick a table that can become a bar or your workstation, update plants by placing them in contemporary planters.	</li>	<li>	Comfortable porch furniture gives you more opportunities for gathering and relaxation.	</li>	<li>	Expand your living space with indoor-outdoor spaces. These accommodate more guests or simply let you enjoy a change of scenery.	</li>	<li>	Go for easy-care and durable outdoor furniture. With rain, moisture, and dust, furniture tends to wear out over the years; synthetic wicker, FRP (fiber-reinforced plastic), cast iron and wrought iron are great for outdoor spaces, as they won&rsquo;t rust or wear out easily. Also, pick ceramic and concrete pots that will last you a lifetime.	</li>	<li>	Lighting is a key aspect in outdoor spaces. Choose lanterns and floor lamps that will transition your space from day to night.	</li></ul>
