Seasonal Design Tips for Summer 2023
I love to change out the look of my home each season and the summer season offers the best chance to open up the house and bring in a light and airy vibe, Indoors and Outdoors. What’s in for 2023? It’s Bringing the Indoors – Out!
Here are a few simple ideas to create a summer outdoor space Bringing the Indoors – Out.
I have already gotten started with our outdoor patio and the first thing we did was get out the power washer and hosed down the pavers and the outdoor rugs. Next, we turned those rugs over and used this for our new patterned summertime look. We cleaned up the outdoor furniture and added a new look with outdoor seating cushions and set our patio with lots of string lights. For our string lights, we prefer to mix them up with soft and bright white lights. It is such a fun and soothing ambience.
To really give your outdoor space a simple Indoors – Out Look, start by placing sofa style seating to add a stylish and comfy sit for yourselves and weekend company. Make sure you can set your drinks and food down with either end tables OR a coffee style table. The best type of outdoor furniture is always teak or acacia wood. These woods are strong and can withstand the outdoor elements.
The final piece is to add outdoor potted plants for a finished look. The larger the pots, the bigger the plants. Use a variety of sizes and textures for a fun feel. Checking with your local nursery for the best plants to suit your setting is a good idea.
Until next time,
