Multipurpose Room
Who says your kid-friendly space can't also be adult-friendly? This yard is a modern den where areas to dine, entertain, and play co-habitate.
Play House
Nothing beats a backyard playhouse. But one that's kid-sized and design-centric too? That's our favorite.
Hangout
- Sedona Hanging Chair, $179
Part hammock, part hanging chair, this beauty brings out the kid in all of us. (And it's handwoven by artisans in Thailand!)
Kids' Corner
On this stylish patio, the kiddos have their own seating area, which also happens to provide a pop of color and high style for a look your neighbors will envy.
Right-Sized Style
- Acapulco Kids Bench,, $299
Kid-sized furnishings don't have to be eyesores. Many of our favorite furniture brands offer kid-sized style, too.
Outdoor Family Room
In this hardscaped backyard space, a low table and mismatched chairs provide a casual lounging space for the whole family.
S'mores at Home
The kids want to go camping. You want to stay home. Pro tip: You can do both!
Tipi for All Ages
Consider a full-size tipi for the backyard. Your kids will love it as a hangout fort. You'll love it as a guest room.
Edible Garden
Decades of garden stories have shown that kids are more likely to love their veggies if they've helped grow them.
Create Community
Not enough space for a veggie garden at home? Or looking for a way to bring the neighborhood together? Consider joining or starting a community garden for an activity your whole family will love.
