With spring officially here, we are spending more time outside and enjoying our outdoor living spaces. Your patio should be an extension of your home and is great opportunity to implement your personal design style. I want to sit on my patio and feel like I’m on vacation! By adding a few design elements, you can level up your space. Below are four categories, with some of my favorites, that will help you get started! First up…outdoor pillows.
Adding accent pillows creates layers and comfort to your outdoor furniture. Fun patterns and textures create a layered/curated look while also giving you something to prop up behind you while hanging out. Below are a few of my personal favorites, at reasonable price points (my pup Cooper, likes to play with ours in the yard so I appreciate a good removable case)!
1. Abstract Mod // 2. Neutral Stripe // 3. Bold Circle // 4. Natural Texture // 5. Brown Bold
Next up…planters! This is an outdoor space right?! Every spring I look forward to going to the nursery and picking out a variety of plants – but even better, coming home and planting them in beautiful pots. Similar to your interior space, every detail counts. Make sure to pick a variety and layer like other design elements!
1. Classic White // 2.Natural Texture // 3. Urn // 4. Modern on a stand // 5. Architectural
If you’re anything like me, I always have a blanket when I’m on the couch. Well, that’s no different outside! Living in Ohio, our weather changes drastically – having throws outside creates a cozy environment and is great to offer to guests. Bonus points: They can help keep the bugs off! Grab a few to throw out before your next gathering or for your next cozy evening outside.
1 .Timeless Navy // 2. Corner Tassels // 3. Heavy Texture // 4. Window Pane Check // 5. Fun Stripe
My least favorite part of the outdoors? THE BUGS. You know what keeps them at bay while also adding ambiance, citronella candles! I encourage you to think outside of the boring tins that most of them come in – you know what I’m talking about and upgrade to beautiful containers like the ones below. My personal favorite, 1//.
1 .Classic White // 2. Green Accent // 3. Heavy Charcoal // 4. Large Concrete // 5. Sleek Navy
To recap your four must haves: Outdoor Pillows, Planters, Accent Throws, and Citronella Candles. Start layering in a few of each and enjoy your space and soak up the season!
