Outdoor furnishings range from deep seating sectionals, dining sets, to chaises and recliners. By measuring and working from a furniture floor plan, you can determine how you want to use the space and the size and shape of furnishings and rugs needed. Weather resistant fabrics are available in textures, colors, patterns and styles to match any décor and can be used for cushions, throw pillows, umbrellas, awnings and draperies for a coordinated updated look. Outdoor draperies and patio shades are growing in popularity and make an elegant statement while providing shade or privacy.
Of course, no area in the home is complete without the proper accessories. You can brighten up the space with lamps or chandeliers and keep the air moving with decorative fans. Large pillar candles in lanterns or candle holders are a nice way to add ambient light. Plants, containers, wall hangings, sculptures, and especially water features or fire pits are the final touches that will make your outdoor living area a masterpiece. You can incorporate a sound system or an outdoor television if you like, but be mindful of durability for accessories and only use electronics rated for outdoor use. Whether your outdoor living area is on the front, back or side of your house, on the ground level or a balcony level, make it a comfortable, useable place where you want to spend time for years to come.
