Read on for eight tips to transform your own slice of paradise.
So you don’t have a perfect pergola or retractable sunroof--join the club. Thankfully, a graceful oversized canopy or umbrella will provide the same shade, comfort and protection from the elements.

Happiness is only real when shared, right?
