Enhance your outdoor space with a few sensory adjustments. We are spending more time in the backyard these days, and we want that space to be an inviting place to enjoy. Consider your senses when setting up your outside patio! From the smell of the flowers to the sounds of music playing, you’ll want to be outside more than ever with these ideas for elevated outdoor updates.
Bring The Inside Out
Transform your outdoor space by bringing your indoor style outside. Whether you love farmhouse or traditional interiors, maintaining cohesiveness is key. Embrace the concept of 'bringing the indoors out' to create a seamless transition from your home to your patio.
Layer Like You Would Inside
Create a cozy outdoor room by furnishing it like you would an interior space. Ground your furniture grouping with an outdoor area rug, add throw pillows, blankets, and side tables for functionality. Explore the use of rechargeable floor lamps, table lamps, and lanterns to enhance the ambiance with lighting.
Go Vertical
Consider enclosing your outdoor space with drapery for a luxurious cabana-like feel. Hang baskets, bunting, and overhead lighting to add depth and dimension to your patio area.
Consider The Five Senses
- Use a soothing color palette for a cohesive look
- Incorporate flowers, herbs, or candles for a welcoming aroma
- Opt for soft textures in cushions and upholstery
- Play music to create a relaxing atmosphere
- Enjoy outdoor entertaining with delicious eats
Holidays Always Help
Inject some excitement into your exterior spaces by decorating for holidays. Summer color schemes like red, white, and blue, sunny yellow and sky blue, or navy and white can add a vibrant touch. Utilize theme-y decor such as banners and buntings to give your outdoor spaces a festive feel.
