To inspire customers to get stuck into their backyard, no matter the size of the space, Amazon Australia has partnered with The Block 2021 Garden Challenge winners Jesse Anderson and Kirsty Lee Akers to create DIY inspiration guides.
HOW TO TURN YOUR BACKYARD INTO A MULTIPURPOSE SPACE
Like most Aussies, we love entertaining family and friends. Unlike when we were kids, our outdoor spaces are now much smaller and they must be multi-purpose areas. For most of us, our backyards have become an extension of our living zones. Inside our home, we have a small dining table that we use for just us and when friends and family are over, we eat outside on the deck where we have a larger dining table. During Covid, our homes had to become multifunctional spaces- we were working from home, teaching from home, entertaining the kids and keeping everyone sane! No matter what size your space, it's important to create zones where living and entertaining can be easy and enjoyable.
CREATE ZONES
Think about your space and what you want it to achieve. Do you want it to be for entertaining or another living area for work? A space for the kids to play? Or do you want to create a spot where you can work out or relax? If you answered yes to any of those, we are here to help!
