# Creating Your Perfect Outdoor Oasis

As the temperatures rise and hold steady, it’s time to start spending more time in the outdoors. Now is the perfect time to Spring clean and evaluate your outdoor space to remove, update, or add new pieces to make a relaxing and inviting outdoor oasis to enjoy all summer long.
Watson’s carries the largest selection of outdoor furniture, above ground and semi in-ground pools, and spas and hot tubs. However you want to create your oasis, we’ve got just what you need.
Check out some of these ideas to create an outdoor oasis to spend time with family and friends.
**The Outdoor Chef**
One of the benefits of warmer weather is the ability to both cook and eat outdoors more often.
For the family that loves to cook, consider making your outdoor oasis a dining experience worth visiting every night! Begin with a [new grill](https://www.watsons.com/outdoor/grills-brick-ovens) to cook all your favorite foods on. Watson’s carries gas, charcoal, and pellet grills along with brick ovens and all the accessories and necessities to bring your fully stocked kitchen outdoors.
After cooking, sit down and enjoy your meal on an [outdoor dining set](https://www.watsons.com/outdoor/outdoor-patio-furniture/outdoor-dining-sets?product_list_limit=all). Whether you’re looking for an intimate dining set for two or a large set for the family and neighbors, Watson’s can help you find just the size and set.
Don’t forget dessert! A [fire pit](https://www.watsons.com/outdoor/firepits?product_list_limit=all) is a functional outdoor piece that can be used all year long. Roast some marshmallows to make s’mores for dessert and relax under the stars as you keep warm by the fire. Our propane fire pits offer instant warmth and fun, making it convenient and easy to turn on and off to use immediately.
Looking for something not so formal, but still want a place to sit and eat? Consider a [chat and pub](https://www.watsons.com/outdoor/outdoor-patio-furniture/chat-pub-sets) set instead of a dining set.
**The Energetic Entertainer**
Do you enjoy entertaining? The perfect outdoor oasis for you may be an above ground pool and lots of seating for guests and events. While pools can be a big investment, an above ground, or even semi in-ground pool, are affordable options that can easily be personalized through décor and decking.
Large [outdoor sectionals](https://www.watsons.com/outdoor/outdoor-patio-furniture/sofas-and-sectionals?product_list_limit=all) and sofas offer ample seating for guests to sit and relax, especially after a swim in the pool!
Don’t forget [all the accessories](https://www.watsons.com/outdoor/outdoor-accessories), like coolers, umbrellas, outdoor rugs, and other décor to tie it all in together to make an outdoor oasis you’ll never want to leave.
**The Royal Relaxer**
Entertaining may sound fun, but for others, a relaxing escape is the perfect idea of an outdoor oasis.
To create a more relaxed and meditative outdoor space, consider your seating first. [Chaise lounge chairs](https://www.watsons.com/outdoor/outdoor-patio-furniture/chaise-lounges?product_list_limit=all) offer different recline angles to find your perfect position. An [outdoor loveseat](https://www.watsons.com/outdoor/outdoor-patio-furniture/loveseeats) can provide an intimate setting, while [lounge chairs](https://www.watsons.com/outdoor/outdoor-patio-furniture/chaise-lounge-chairs) can offer more cushion for a single person.
There’s nothing more relaxing than a [spa or hot tub](https://www.watsons.com/spa/spa-hot-tub/bench-style-spas). Not only are they smaller and easy to add into a backyard or outdoor space, but they also come with some great health benefits, such as reducing stress and anxiety, and improving sleep.
A [fire pit](https://www.watsons.com/outdoor/firepits) is another great addition if you’re looking for an ambient environment. Not only is it soothing to watch the flames dance, but a fire put provides that extra warmth on cooler evenings to relax and reflect under the stars.
**The Simply Chic**
A simple café[ set](https://www.watsons.com/outdoor/outdoor-patio-furniture/chat-pub-sets?product_list_limit=all) with a garden bench or a couple of lounge or chaise chairs may be all you need to complete your outdoor oasis and relax. Consider some accent tables or an outdoor rug to complete the look. For this style, it can be more the small touches rather than the large furniture. Consider adding [small ](https://www.watsons.com/outdoor/outdoor-accessories/outdoor-accents-decor?product_list_limit=all)décor around your outdoor space like lanterns, vases, and other items to keep it simple.
Another idea for a small space is to place chaise chairs or a smaller loveseat around a fire pit. Add in an outdoor rug to pull all the elements together and an ottoman for either a table or footrest and you have a relaxing spot to unstressed from the day.
**5 Things to Consider When Designing Your Outdoor Oasis**
Before you start picking out furniture, make sure to consider the following items that may factor into your decisions:
- **Available Space: **This seems obvious, but everyone has different preferences and it’s important to ensure you enough space for traffic flow and safety purposes. Depending on mobility, make sure walkthrough areas are level and easy to navigate.
- **Type of Furniture: **Be considerate of the types of items and furniture you want to ensure enough space to move around and create a sense of flow. Fire pits are versatile and can be moved around, which make them easy additions. Sectionals need more space. Consider using items like ottomans or other décor instead of adding too much big furniture.
- **Maintenance:** Make sure you understand the maintenance needed for each piece based on the materials they are made from. Watson’s carries a variety of materials for outdoor furniture, each with their own maintenance or cleaning needs. Make sure you know how to best maintain and clean so you can keep your oasis looking new longer.
- **Décor: **Make sure to account for space for décor. From vases and pillows to outdoor rugs and storage space, make sure you’re including these items when allotting space in your design.
- **Storage:** Last, but not least, you’ll want to consider storage space and the elements your outdoor furniture may endure during the winter months. While there is always the option to [cover](https://www.watsons.com/outdoor/outdoor-accessories/furniture-care), consider any items you’ll want stored inside and make sure you have the available space to do so.
However you choose to create your own [outdoor oasis](https://www.watsons.com/outdoor) this year, make sure to stop into one of [Watson’s nine superstore locations](https://www.watsons.com/services/contact-us) to be inspired and select everything you’ll need. From furniture and fire pits to accessories and above ground pools, Watson’s carries the largest selection of outdoor entertainment and furniture needs.
