4 Ways To Make Your Courtyard Cozy This Summer

Yes, the City of Stars is shining just for you, and it's time to show off that courtyard you've been hiding all winter long. Having an outdoor space surrounded by high walls doesn't always seem ideal, but fear not! For this Friday buy-day we've complied a list of fun products that'll turn your concrete urban complex into something luscious and inviting.

1. Invest in a decent fireplace to warm things up in the evening

The heat may be sweltering during the day in LA, but things definitely cool off in the evening. That's why this portable outdoor fireplace is a great way to heat things up. Not to mention, it will remind you of all those times you went camping as a kid before the big city took up all your time.

2. Let plants take over

Creeping Fig Plant, $7.99

We know how hard it can be having concrete walls surrounding your entire outdoor space (talk about serious claustrophobia). But unlike you, plants such as this creeping fig vine love the concrete and will cling to it and climb with time. The fig will have somewhere to thrive, and you won't have to see those bare walls you can't stand; it's a major win-win!

What's a courtyard without a place to sit and drink some wine or cocktails? Chances are if your friends come over and have to stand all night, they're not going to want to come back. That's why this four-piece patio furniture set is the perfect addition to your concrete-enclosed outdoor space. With two chairs and a love seat, there's plenty of room for everyone, and the padded cushions make traditional hard patio furniture look like a chump.

4. Light up the space

Outdoor Solar String Lights, $13.99

It may be the City of Stars where light is never scarce, but mood lighting is always an added bonus. Light up the night with these solar string lights that are also energy saving.
