Today is officially the first day of summer so it’s definitely time to get outside and enjoy those backyards. A backyard is not complete without a beautiful area to lounge.
A few simple rules to follow:
1. LOVE your outdoor living space. You definitely won’t want to come outside and sit if you don’t like the space. It’s amazing what a little bit of cleaning up can do to a space.
2. Greenery, greenery, greenery. Probably the biggest transformation are those spaces that have flower boxes, potted plants and layers of greenery.
3. Create a seating area thats conducive to conversation. Your patio furniture should be set up in the same way you would set up your living room. Don’t arrange furniture too far way from each other and always make sure there is a table near every seat to put a drink down.
Here are some of my DREAM outdoor spaces:
Love the double wood coffee table mixed with the furniture.
I have been seeing lots of outdoor spaces featuring mirrors these days. And who doesn’t love a backyard filled with wispy grasses?
Love, love, love this space! Probably not the best idea for our Chicago winters but all of you California readers this could be another living space in your home. BEAUTIFUL!
The mix of color and and material makes this porch feel like a living room. The pillow combination is cheerful and bright.
Simple. Beautiful.
Enjoy the weekend and we will see you back here on Monday!
