Outdoor Living

We are quickly approaching summer, which means there are more opportunities to entertain outdoors! We found some of our favorite outdoor items to update your outdoor space so that it keeps you cool and comfortable under the summer sun.

Outdoor dining

We love having the choice to either eat a meal inside with the A/C or outdoors in the sun. Your outdoor dining area should feel just as comfortable as your indoor dining space, so we encourage you to splurge on items that are built to last, like the combination of the White Blithedale Dining Table and the Outdoor Riviera Dining Chair. We love this color combination, but if you’re not crazy about it, don’t worry! It comes in different colors.

Cozy Couch and Armchair

If you are in the market for new outdoor furniture that is not only stylish, but built to last for years to come, look no further than the Salt Creek Sofa and matching Salt Creek Lounge Chair. A powder-coated aluminum frame stands up to the elements and brings a sleek profile. Hand-wrapped and surprisingly soft performance fibers add a nice twist, recalling sailing rope for a nod to the nautical.

Shady Umbrella

This adorable Eastport Umbrella provides a bit of a retro feel to your outdoor space, while keeping you shaded and cool. Don’t forget to also purchase the accompanying Galvanized Umbrella Stand which will keep your umbrella steady, and the steel will prevent the stand from rusting, so that it will last for many summers.

Bar

A fresh, cool drink is a summer-time essential, and we think drinks taste better when they come from a beautiful outdoor bar. The Riviera Bar not only looks great, it is surprisingly functional. With two water-tight bins below the teak lids and a lower shelf for storage, you’ll have plenty of room for drinks, glassware, and other essentials.

Accessories

Pillows

Outdoor pillows are a fun and easy way to accessorize your outdoor space, and make it comfy-cozy. The best news? They are easy to change up each season to give your outdoor space a new look. We love the pillows above because we are currently obsessing over gingham prints, and they are perfect with a textured pillow.

Pillow 1: Salerno Pillow Cover 24” Square

Pillow 2: Salerno Pillow Cover 12” x 21”

Pillow 3: Perennials Gingham Pillow Cover 12” x 21”

Pillow 4: Perennials Gingham Pillow Cover 24” Square

rug

An outdoor rug is a great way to dress up an outdoor living space. The Artemis Outdoor Rug, Silver Gray goes great with the design we have created in this blog, but it is versatile enough to work in practically any outdoor space.

napkins

Like we said, we are obsessing over gingham! These French Blue Gingham Napkins are adorable, and they tie in the print from those pillows.

Table Lighting

The Scalloped Capiz Hurricane - Round is the perfect example of a tabletop light emitter that looks great during the day, and provide some light when outdoor entertaining goes from day into the night.

Until next time,
