“Be at rest in any season,” that’s what my parents taught me when I was young. But they understood that a space had to be created for it, not only in the heart and mind, but also in environment.
Some of my greatest memories as a child centered around time spent on porches and in backyards, listening to my parents talk with their coffee in hand as I looked up at the sky above me. As a child, you don’t understand what goes into creating such a space, you simply benefit from it. Now, as I begin to raise my own little ones, I look for what I can bring home to create that same sense of rest for them.
Trending Northwest has gathered a list of ideas to help accomplish just that, from hot tubs, patio furniture, decor and more. These thoughtful purchases will transform any backyard into the ultimate retreat in any season and on varying budgets.
Endless Pools for any Season
Pool systems that double as hot tubs for swimming and relaxation in any season are growing in popularity each year. The first models of “swim spas” began emerging in 2010, with Pool World, the largest pool and spa business in the Inland Northwest, offering “Endless Pool” systems soon after. Endless Pools are built for both recreation and exercise and are temperature-controlled year round.
Pool World has been serving Spokane since 1976. Currently the family-operated business has three showrooms around the city and one in Coeur D’Alene, Idaho. “We are in the business of giving people fun and relaxation,” Mark Henderson, son of the business’ founders shared, and that should not be limited to when the weather is warm.
Browse through Pool World’s swim spa options to bring greater peace and relaxation to your backyard space this year, and while you’re at it, check out the options for in-ground pools at well, more accessible now that ever!
Custom Patio Furniture From Madison Home, Bide & Burgeon
One of my priorities this year is to purchase a couple of outdoor lounge chairs and a patio sofa for my four kids, our pup and I to cuddle up on each morning and snuggle into each night.
Madison Home is a family-owned business in Spokane where customers can choose from beautiful outdoor seating, tables, fire pits and more. The Tivoli Sectional by Kingsley Bate is to die for!
Bide & Burgeon on Sprague is a one-of-a-kind stop featuring gorgeous outdoor table sets, sectionals, among other things. I love this Mandarin Cape chair and table set. (And what a steal!)
Beautiful Fireplaces & Grills From Falco’s
“Want to have a family fire night?” I hear that question a lot in fall and early spring as the weather is warm enough to gather, but cool enough to benefit from the cozy feel the fire brings. Family fire nights are one of our greatest sources of connection in my family. And grilling? Well, it’s our go-to for most summer parties.
At Falco’s Spokane, you can find either for exactly your price range. Falco’s serves Spokane as its largest fireplace, heating, cooling and outdoor living showroom. With multiple incredible fire pits and accessories to choose from, as well as grills ranging from $800 to $2,000.

Pergolas & Patio Coverings: Struxture Northwest, Horizon Distributors
Pergolas and patio coverings are important for creating all-weather, all-season comfort spots at home. They are that finishing touch that every backyard retreat needs.
At Struxture Northwest, you can custom design your pergola with controlled elements, motorized screens and heaters and fans to create a “climate controlled oasis,” the website boasts.
You can also visit the outdoor living showroom at Horizon Distributors in the Spokane Valley. Where landscaping professionals can bring clients to “help them find the right fixture, paver color, BBQ island or even pergola,” Horizon states.
