Spring has finally arrived and its time to think about the warmer months ahead and how to best enjoy them in your own backyard.

Canadian winters can be cold, long and dark, so when summer arrives we want to do all we can to maximize our time spent outdoors, says Meaghan Wilkinson, director of marketing for Hisense Canada. A backyard oasis is a place to relax quietly, or gather with family and friends for food, drink and conversation. The more we replicate outside what we have in our homes, the more quality time we can spend outdoors.

Wilkinson says its the little things that add to the whole.

Comfy seating is a must, and if placed under a gazebo, you can enjoy it in almost any weather. Such a structure also enables you to safely install a television outdoors, mounted on the wall and protected from the elements, she says. Hisenses Quantum Dot technology features a higher contrast range that makes good viewing whether you are watching in the middle of the afternoon or after the sun goes down.

Take the kitchen outside as well, says Wilkinson.

People gravitate towards the kitchen, and its not much different outside, she says. The grill is where the magic happens, and where people gather to swap stories and share some laughs. A must in any outdoor kitchen is a fridge incorporated into the design, not only to keep food chilled and safe, but also to ensure cold drinks are close at hand.
