You’ve had an exhausting week, haven’t you? Looking for a place to lay back, read a book and sip on a refreshing glass of Chardonnay? Well, make sure as you’re relaxing the stress of the week off you don’t miss out on that beautiful sunshine!
Too often we find ourselves wasting our days away inside on the couch or in bed. Enough is enough! The solution to your problem is to bring your bed outside with you! An outdoor bed is the ultimate way to relax since nature itself has a calming effect.
Smell the sweet scent of blooming flowers, listen to the birds’ chirp and gaze out upon your lawn of lush plants all from the comfort of your outdoor bed. Your reading homework will become enjoyable when you’re simultaneously taking in a suntan and reading. While at night chatting with your bestie on the phone can be done while looking at the night stars.
Below are 65 outdoor bed ideas for relaxing with nature that will inspire your next weekend project!

In my opinion, all outdoor beds should have the warmth of candles and the brightness of twinkling lights. This is how you can enjoy your bed all day and all night!
2. Moroccan Tea Bed

Minimalism is the key to re-create this look. This bed looks like just a wooden pallet suspended slightly off the ground with thin ropes. Decorated with soft tones and light blankets.
10. Elegant Bed in White
A classic and elegant look is created with all white cushions and covers. Class it up even more with soft laces and contrast it against the dark wood.
11. Tropical
Create a soft tropical look with your outdoor bed by using driftwood, sheer curtains and bring in some tropical plants.
