Hammocks for Everyone If one hammock is good, three are even better! Use a mix of larger hammocks (good for napping) and chair-style hammocks to maximize the hangout options. Bonus: Hammocks have a very small footprint when not in use, making them the perfect choice for a compact outdoor room.

When you’re entertaining outdoors, don’t forget the flowers — a vase of fresh blooms can make your outdoor room even more inviting. Tip: For best results, sand the wood to reduce chances of splinters or fabric snags. You can also apply a few coats of paint, stain or furniture oil to finish the pieces.
