Tan lines, sleepless sweaty nights, and the everlasting pursuit of hydration must mean that summer is in full flow, and we just lap it up!

But what are the ultimate summer home accessories that will leave you envy of the street and king of your castle.

You could hide yourself away, with a chair placed in direct flow of the aircon dreaming of the snow, or you could embrace the best time of year, and turn your outdoor space into the summer oasis it deserves. Check out these cool additions designed to inject that 'je ne sais quoi' into your home this summer.

Old faithful… The pool.

You can’t go wrong with adding a pool to your house. It will be the first thing you think of on your way home from work on a hot day, and the place you choose to day dream of when stuck at the office. Also, where else are you meant to drink margaritas you so deserve??

Something that has caught my eye recently in the pool world is converted shipping containers. With their rugged industrial look mixed with sheer practicality and the added karma points for recycling, it’s an easy yes.

They typically come in 6m or 12m lengths, and you can pick one up from about $20,000 with all the necessary bits needed to have you doing laps and perfecting that cannonball in no time.

If you were a cat in a former life you may like to relax back into what you did best and find a perfect shady corner and just relax, read a book or just be.

I have seen some amazing day beds and outdoor furniture that would slot perfectly into my weekend relaxing schedule, but the ultimate for me is any type of hammock.

There is a simple satisfaction found in slowly rocking with the breeze and just kicking back with a cold brew and just clearing your mind from the the busy lives we lead.

I found this beauty on floatingbed.com, and feel relaxed just looking at it.

All I have to say is, I want one….

If you are one of the lucky ones and have garden space, it is your duty to entertain friends and family on those long summer evenings.

Bbq’s are almost religion when it comes to Australian summer, so I don’t feel the limelight belongs to Webber this time. There are so many ways to entertain in your outdoor space, and one way that is gaining popularity is creating an outdoor cinema.

This is an amazing way to spend the evening with family and friends, or a romantic date night without leaving the home.

You can buy an HD projector that connect to Wifi for under $300 now, and if you hang up a bed sheet and a portable speaker, you have a relatively cheap cinema in your backyard.

Perfect!
