When you love the island of Capri…

How can I create a Capri-inspired backyard?

When Capri comes to mind, the stunning blue sea is the first thing that stands out. To bring a touch of Capri to your backyard, start by incorporating soft or aqua blue hues into your garden. It’s the perfect way to begin creating your own Mediterranean oasis.

 1. True Blue

The color blue can be added in the most subtle ways, like with a tablecloth, some scatter cushions, a garden pot, etc…

2. Cover the wall

If you have a large wall in your garden, consider painting it or adding a few blue flower pots to infuse a touch of the sea. You don’t need to stick to just one shade of blue—after all, the Mediterranean Sea is full of varying tones. Mix and match different shades for a more dynamic look when painting your garden pots. For an extra creative touch, try decorating an otherwise plain wall with an old window frame or a charming door painted in Mediterranean blue. It’s a fantastic way to bring the spirit of Capri to your garden.

3. Photo memories

If you have favorite photos from your holiday in Capri (like the boat photo below), frame copies of them and display them on a wall. It’ll serve as a great conversation starter when you have guests over, and during quieter moments, it will bring back fond memories. Just be sure to seal the frames to keep moisture out, and use colorful prints rather than your only original photos, so you can preserve the irreplaceable memories

4. A touch of Italian lemons…

Thinking of my favorite restaurant in Capri… I love the idea of dining under lemon trees.  In fact the whole of Amalfi is all about lemons, and who doesn’t love the Amalfi coast…  

  • Citrus Garden: Pay homage to Capri’s iconic lemon groves by planting citrus trees in your backyard. Lemon trees not only add a touch of Mediterranean elegance to your outdoor space but also provide you with an abundant supply of fresh lemons for cooking and cocktails. Surround the trees with lush greenery and fragrant herbs to create a serene garden retreat.

  • Dining under the lemon trees, or a light lunch, could become a reality in your own backyard.  Add a beautiful citrus colored tablecloth, some lemon printed serviettes or napiks, and a few lemons for decoration and you are well on your way.

For extra Italian Capri flair, get some beautiful glasses and a bottle of good Italian sparkling wine.  Then, make a Caprese Salad or a nice pasta and dinner is ready….under the lemon trees….and maybe add some solar powered fairy lights for extra atmosphere.

8. You need an olive oil decanter

You’ll definitely need an olive oil decanter to complete your Capri-inspired backyard! Not only does it add a stylish Mediterranean touch to your dining table, but it also makes drizzling that delicious extra virgin olive oil both easy and elegant.

Indulge in the flavors of Capri by recreating its iconic dishes in your own kitchen. Whip up classic recipes such as insalata caprese with fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil drizzled with extra virgin olive oil, or savor the simplicity of spaghetti alle vongole (spaghetti with clams). Don’t forget to enjoy a refreshing limoncello liqueur as a post-meal treat.

10. A Limoncello Lounge

Create a dedicated limoncello lounge area in your backyard where you can relax and unwind with a refreshing cocktail in hand. Set up a bar cart stocked with all the essentials for making limoncello spritzers, lemon drop martinis, and other citrus-infused drinks. Hang string lights or lanterns overhead to add a touch of whimsy to your outdoor space.

Capri island in Italy bring your memories home vacation at home

Limoncello holds a special place in Italian culture, particularly in the southern regions like the Amalfi Coast and Capri. This vibrant lemon liqueur is more than just a drink; it’s a symbol of Italian hospitality, tradition, and the country’s connection to its rich, sun-drenched landscapes. Often enjoyed as an after-dinner digestivo, Limoncello is crafted with local lemons, whose zest imparts a refreshing, zesty flavor that captures the essence of Italy’s Mediterranean coast. For Italians, sharing a glass of Limoncello with friends and family is a cherished ritual, evoking a sense of warmth, community, and the simple pleasures of life.

11. Limoncello Cocktails

 Capture the essence of Capri’s famed citrus fruits by mixing up refreshing limoncello cocktails at home. Try your hand at crafting a limoncello spritz with sparkling water and a splash of Prosecco, or blend up a tangy lemon drop martini for a sophisticated twist. Garnish your drinks with a slice of fresh lemon for an authentic touch.
