5 Simple Ways to Update Your Outdoor Space for Summer
Spring is here—and that means it’s the perfect time to start dreaming about your outdoor setup.
We’re not quite at peak BBQ mode just yet, but warmer days are around the corner. And if you’re anything like us, the minute we hit 50 degrees and sunny, we’re already out back thinking about where to put the grill and who’s bringing the burgers.
Whether your backyard needs a full refresh or just a few key updates, a little prep in spring goes a long way toward soaking up those summer weekends later.
Here are five simple, impactful ways to bring your outdoor space to life—plus how Iconic Flame can help you plan, style, and build your dream setup.
Add a Fire Feature That Sets the Mood 🔥
There’s something special about sitting around a fire—it brings people together, sets a cozy vibe, and keeps the party going well past sunset. A fire pit or fire bowl can become the focal point of your outdoor space and instantly elevate the feel of your yard.
Whether you want something sleek and modern or rustic and inviting, we’ve got options for every space and style. Fire features are also a great way to stretch your outdoor season well into fall.
Not sure what fits your space best? We’ll help you figure it out based on how you want to use your backyard—and the vibe you’re going for.
Get Your Grill Game Ready 🍔
Spring is when we start thinking about all those upcoming cookouts and weekend hangs. It’s also the perfect time to clean up the grill, upgrade your tools, or finally grab the setup you’ve been eyeing.
At Iconic Flame, we carry incredible grills for every kind of backyard cook—from quick weeknight dinners to full-on summer feasts. Need help choosing? We can walk you through your options so you find the grill that matches how you actually cook and entertain.
Accessories matter too! A fresh mat, gloves, apron, or thermometer adds both function and flair.
Create a Comfy Lounge Area
Want to love your backyard more? Make it feel like a place you actually want to relax in. A few cozy chairs, an outdoor rug, and some soft lighting can completely change the vibe.
Think beyond the big box patio sets—what makes you feel at home? Want to curl up with a glass of wine? Host game night with friends? Watch a movie under the stars? Design your space around how you live.
If you’re not sure where to start, we can help you lay it out—we love helping people create zones that work for their lifestyle.
Light It Up Right ✨
Lighting can take your space from “just okay” to “let’s stay out here all night.” It doesn’t have to be complicated—start with a few solar path lights, string lights, or lanterns. Keep it soft, warm, and layered.
Lighting helps define the space, makes everything more functional, and just brings a little magic. And yes, we can help you pick out the right type of lighting to match your setup—whether it’s built-in or simple add-ons.
Want to extend the glow even further? A fire feature doubles as both ambiance and light source.
Add Personality and Style That Feels Like You
The best outdoor spaces don’t look like a showroom—they look like you. A few personal touches go a long way: throw pillows, planters, a cute tray for drinks, or even a themed s’mores station.
Think about what you love and how you spend time outside. If you're hosting friends most weekends, create space for conversation. If your idea of a great night is quiet time under the stars, make it cozy and simple.
Don’t forget, we’re here to help with the design process too. Whether you’re working with a small patio or a full backyard, we’ll help you choose pieces that make the space feel intentional and totally yours.
