Outdoor Furniture and Décor Ideas to Make Your Summer Space Sparkle

Estimated reading time: 2 minutes

Summer is a wonderful time to connect with nature and the outdoor spaces around you. If you find that your space isn’t as inviting as you’d like, it may be time to switch things up.

A Simple Plan Goes a Long Way

Cohesive colors or textures can help make a space feel more put together. Try to find a color that makes you feel at ease and match around it. Alternatively, include décor and furniture that matches your favorite blooming flower.

Think of Outdoor Rooms

You can thoughtfully section areas with awnings or natural dividers if your backyard is large enough. If you’re in a townhouse or condominium with only a small balcony, focus in. You could create a cozy place to unwind after work or provide yourself an extra eating area. The opportunities are endless.

Use Floor Cover Items to Define Spaces

Outdoor rugs clean easily, look beautiful, and assist in completing a space. If your patio is shaded but not covered, an outdoor rug may not be the best option for your space against the elements. Instead, consider painting your patio to create a cement tile or rug look-alike.

Incorporate Fresh Garden Flowers

If your flowers are in bloom, consider including them in furniture arrangements. Using unconventional vases, such as storage buckets or recycled glass bottles, blends elements and textures in exciting ways.

Consider Your Surroundings

Keeping your outdoor décor subtle when surrounded by beautiful surroundings allows your visitors a comfortable way to focus on the sights. Putting larger furniture close to the house still allows space for smaller seating arrangements or a way to take in the view.
