Backyards are one of the favorite places to many of us as we leisurely spend our time there reading a book, or even while just taking a casual walk. You can design your backyard in various interesting ways to make your leisure hours an enjoyable one with your family and friends.

This is a very casual and rustic backyard design with a fire pit in the center surrounded by stones that make it look very different with wooden and stone seating area, which adds beauty to the design. You can enjoy this especially during cold days as you get to relax around the campfire with your friends.

Another rustic styled backyard design with a lovely dining area with stumps that are neatly arranged instead of chairs and along with cushioned pallets for seating. Dining under the stars amidst the nature makes dinner time special especially when it is with your dear ones.

A casual wooden pergola design with day bed style easy chairs and marble flooring makes it look very stylish and rustic. The slide by the side can be used as a flume to add charm to the place, which will make it look very interesting.

Look at this beautiful backyard pool with a casual dining table placed by the side and neatly grazed lawn area that makes the backyard looks very pleasant and relaxing. This pool can be used as a lotus or lily pond, or as a mini swimming pool or just a water pond with ducks in it.

Cool showers in blazing sun can be more heavenly than anything, and this simple shower in a graveled area with rocks and pebbles makes it look very much rustic and much more inviting too! Who wouldn’t love to take a bath in this lovely and refreshing backyard!!

This is one of my favorite backyard designs with a graveled pathway with trees and plants on either side making it look like a private walk into the mystical land. A walk into this place on a moody day or even on a happy hour will just make you relaxed.

Relaxing backyard with colorful throw cushions arranged on the sofa makes it look very casual, relaxing, and lovely. Chitchat under the shade of trees, and partying with friends while you play games or just listen to music can make your day an awesome one.

Enormous pool in the backyard with fire mantle and plants make the place look lavish and amazing. One can expect nothing more than to spend time in a place like this.
