If you’re ready to get outside and enjoy the weather here are 3 tips for setting up your outdoor porch, pergola, or open seating area to enjoy for months to come.
1. Create a Comfortable Seating Area
High quality seating and a “L” or “U” shaped configuration like this outdoor room by Lexington Furniture help create a comfortable and inviting outdoor space. Here the yellow chair color repeats again on the sofa pillows while the patterned pillows on both upholstered pieces add to the cohesive look.
2. Introduce Fun Accessories
Some of my favorite accessories are bold pillows, live flowers or plants, and trays for the outdoors like shown in this photo.
3. Layer in an Area Rug to Create a Cozy Grouping
Placing an area rug underneath a seating area helps define the space and make it feel more like the indoors like this outdoor room. Interesting accessories in turquoise add to the finished look along with the pillows and tray on the table.
