With the holiday weekend approaching, I wanted to share a few inspiring outdoor spaces.  The key to designing an outdoor space that is comfortable, relaxing and beautiful, is to view your patio, deck and yard as an extension of your indoor living space.  There are so many wonderful products on the market with “indoor style”, but are made to live outside and weather the elements.  Create an outdoor living room with sofas, chairs, tables and ottomans that are reminiscent of furniture you’d find indoors.  Infuse your outdoor space with a multitude of fabrics to provide layers of texture, comfort and softness.  Don’t shy away from color– create an outdoor space that is bold and dynamic.  And, let your “style personality” shine through by selecting accessories that add character and personality.

Enjoy these inspiring outdoor rooms!
