STARTING FROM THE
GROUND UP
You'll want to create a floor to
your outdoor room. Whether
that is utilizing an actual
outdoor rug, a faux painted
rug or other materials such as
pavers or stones. Defining the
living space in an outdoor area
will denote the gathering spot
and help to anchor furniture.
EASY LOUNGING
With the end goal of the outdoor
space extending indoor area, the
furniture you choose will play an
important part of this concept.
Incorporate styles, textures and
pieces that illuminate your overall
decor. Sun-proof fabric which will
not fade (or fade much slower),
water proof and coverings that
are easy to clean are ideal. Select
furniture pieces that work double
duty—coffee tables that can raise to
become dining table, ottomans that
can be used as for both side tables
and sitting also work well in an
outdoor space. Large hanging chairs
and beds are ideal for reading,
lounging or snuggling with a four
legged friend on a cool night. Go
for costal hues in blues and beige
or go the Bohemian route with
eclectic combinations of patterns
and styles. The possibilities are
endless.
