How to Create an Awesome Stay-at-Home Date Night Atmosphere

A stay-at-home date can be a wonderfully relaxing way to reconnect with your partner. If the children are away at camp for the week, taking the steps below can make your date night perfect.

Take the pressure off

Many of us spend our weekends working on house projects, cleaning, or running errands. To prep for your date night, bring in Chickadee Cleaners the day before your date so the house is spotless. Get groceries delivered and order takeout for your date.

Make sure you also turn up the tunes. Treat your beloved to an outdoor speaker and have "your" song playing as soon as they get home. Treat them to tunes from their favorite band. 

Make a special effort

We all know that home projects can quickly become overwhelming. If your partner has been working on a fence project but can't find the time to finish it, reach out to C&J Fencing and get a quote. Save what you'd spend on dinner out and get the fence fixed by professionals with all the tools and know-how at their fingertips. 

It's easy to start to resent your home when the projects pile up. Getting a nagging task done can be a great gift to your entire household. It can also free up time on the weekends for more fun!

Treat yourselves to a new tool

This date night could also be a wonderful time to treat yourselves to something you'll enjoy for years to come. Take your loved one for a drive and check out the outdoor fireplaces at Capo Building Specialties. No matter where you are in your home update journey, increasing your enjoyment in your outdoor living space is always a good investment.

Maybe now is the time to put in an outdoor kitchen. Diablo Grills can help you find just the right tools, from barbecue grills to pizza ovens, to suit your needs. Don't forget to leave space for a wine chiller so you can stock up and pair your grilled food perfectly with the right wine.

Don't forget the little touches

As you plan for your date night, remember to create a special ambiance. Hang some solar lights to brighten your patio space or front walkway. Check your outdoor furniture and update your cushions if needed. 

If your partner has long wanted to create a bird- and pollinator-friendly spot in your backyard, now is the time to hang that bird feeder! Pick up a planter of red or bright pink flowers in full bloom to draw the attention of hummingbirds and bees.
