TIKI IDEAS
USE A SOFT COLOR PALATE
Keep the colors in your backyard light and airy. The goal of this style is comfort and ease. Instead of busy, bright colors, aim to keep the palate neutral and calming — think whites, pinks and earth tones.
DON'T EXCLUDE THE GRILLMASTER
Since smoke from the grill likely means it's separated from the rest of the party, framing the backyard party area with TIKI® Torches can form an inclusive border to help the grill-tender remain part of the festivities.
DESSERT MENU
Complete the al fresco dining by adding dessert to the menu. S’mores are always a good idea, but try mixing it up with grilled fruit kebabs (don’t knock it ‘til you try it) or go big with a skillet dessert.
MULTIPLE ENTERTAINING AREAS IN A BIG SPACE
Regardless of size, it’s important to maximize the potential of your backyard entertaining space! Whether you plan to use it for outdoor entertaining or as a relaxing getaway right in your backyard, there are plenty of design options. People naturally congregate near light, so create lighting focal points in each entertaining space and the walkways between.
