5 Tips for Outdoor Decorating

Need help getting your outdoor space together this summer? Here are some tips for outdoor decorating that will put you on the right path. Consider these five aspects of your outdoor area for the ultimate space planning and design.

1. SIZE: Great outdoor spaces come in every size. Large spaces can be divided into zones for lounging, dining or meal prep using structural furniture pieces, planters or rugs. Smaller spaces benefit from modular, multitasking furniture pieces that can be easily rearranged for any occasion.

2. VIEWS: Do you have an incredible vista to showcase? Or do you want privacy from a neighbor? Consider the height of both landscaping and furnishings, and add overhead cover for shelter from the elements as well as prying eyes.

3. LIGHTING: Your outdoor space can be enjoyed day or night with proper lighting. Large spaces should consider a mix of landscape and accent lighting at the perimeter, with focal point and task lighting for cooking and entertaining areas. Small spaces can benefit from lighted furnishings that add functionality and illumination with a minimal footprint.

4. STYLE: Let your home’s interior dictate the style of your outdoor furnishings so that the spaces flow seamlessly. Invest in all-weather pieces that can can be enjoyed indoors or out.

5. MAINTENANCE: Do you have time to tend to high-maintenance landscaping? Will you be disappointed when wood or fabrics begin to fade? Choose quality furnishings designed to weather the elements and manageable plantings to keep maintenance low and enjoyment high!
