It’s time to expand our living spaces outdoors.
Whether you’re still awaiting warmer temperatures or you’re looking to refresh your year-round outdoor space, it never hurts to have a few styling tricks up your sleeve. When it comes to creating an experience that feels like an expansion of your living space, it’s all in the details. In this post, we’re sharing a few of our favorite ways to bring any elevated outdoor space to life and ensure guest readiness as soon as entertaining weather ensues.

Incorporate textural planters
We love using greenery and foliage to make the outdoor living space blend in with its surroundings. Incorporating textural planters with a little bit of patina and time-worn character is a great way to get that lived-in vacationing-in-Italy feel in your own backyard.

Bring in earthy colored textiles to blend into the surroundings
If you’re not used to incorporating a lot of color inside your home, the outdoor space is the perfect way to experiment with adding more earth tones. Incorporating green and blue hues in your outdoor color palette and textiles can make any outdoor space feel lush, even if you don’t have crawling ivy on your walls.

Create moments with furniture placement
You can create little living moments in your outdoor space just like inside by dividing seating areas up and creating “zones.” Break up your seating areas to encourage conversation and for people to move throughout your space organically.

Add pattern to center your outdoor pieces
Pattern provides a landing space and creates a groundwork for your main pieces to live, drawing the eye in from the moment you enter a space. When it comes to an outdoor area, pattern is just as important—layer pattern through rugs and textiles to create a cozy extension of your indoor living area.
