It's difficult not to fall in love with the tropics - sunny beaches, pearly white sands, refreshing breeze, relaxing ambiance, and those cool structures called Bali huts. Who would look forward to saying goodbye to all these things? If there's a way to take them all with you when you go back to the city, you will perhaps not hesitate to do so.

It may be wishful thinking to pack that sandy beach and those palm trees, but you can take delight in knowing that you can have one tropical hut right in your own backyard. Bali huts will best remind you of what it's like to be in a paradise island. You can even get more creative and add more fixtures that will give you the same comfortable and relaxing feeling that you had when you went to that memorable island vacation with your family.

Placing a hammock in your Bali hut will be a great idea. It will make an ideal place to lie down with a good book or a glass of a cold and refreshing drink. If you want to get more comfortable, a bed made of native materials will be perfect to complement your thatch hut. This way, you and the rest of the family can sleep the afternoon away.

A regular "night out" in the garden can be a good bonding time for the family especially when you have a Bali hut that can accommodate a dining table and a few chairs. The outdoor ambiance can set the right mood for each family member to catch up on the latest news about each other or share some stories. Instead of cooking in the kitchen, have some grilled foods and barbecue to keep everyone busy for an outdoor dinner. These are typical beach activities that you can do right in your own garden.

Now if you are in the habit of inviting friends over for a small get-together party, you can place a bar inside your Bali hut and turn it into an ideal place to socialize and entertain visitors. If you're not into social drinking, turning your hut into an extended living area would be a good idea as well. Decorate the place and add useful furniture, fans, radio, and even a television. Your imagination is the limit. Accessorize with related items like shells and pictures of starfish to get constant reminder of the pristine beaches you have visited.

Having a Bali hut in your garden or backyard need not be difficult to achieve. You can easily find huts that have been pre-assembled and pre-built, ready for shipment any time if you wish to order. However, these units can be more expensive so be sure to check your budget if you plan on getting this type of hut.

Another option, which is the more cost-efficient alternative, is to build the hut via DIY kits. They come with assembly instructions so there is no complex measuring or cutting procedures that will be required of you aside from putting all the parts together.

Bali huts will always be able to remind you of those beautiful island holidays. Now there's no need to travel very far to get the same feeling of comfort and relaxation because you can always have one of these lovely huts in your garden.
