Remember when I told you about my favorite outdoor pillow from World Market? The beautiful paisley pillow that I used in an outdoor deck design for a client
Well it seems that more than one of my clients loved this pillow as much as I did.
A couple of weeks ago, LW asked me to help here spruce up here covered patio. The goal was to use as much of the existing furniture as possible, update the look and infuse new styles and color into the space.
We started with one dark green chaise cushion that we wanted to keep and black iron furniture.
And these were a few of the accessories that we like, all from World Market.
Mercer Metal Lanterns
Chevron Pillow
Aegean Ceramic Hurricanes
In little over a week this is the space that we pulled together….
LW’s outdoor patio is covered so there is not a lot of direct sunlight that filters in. The bright colors help to visually open up the space and keep it cheerful.
The red chair and loveseat cushions add a playful punch and look great against the black iron furniture.
The green chaise cushion that LW already had adds some depth and looks great with the paisley pillow. A striped throw was added for a pattern contrast.
We originally started with another coffee table option but this round iron table was a last-minute score at World Market. The round table provides a break from all the square and rectangular furniture pieces.
Two pots sit on a side table, one is a water feature and the other holds a plant. The basket under the table hides the cords to the water feature {and add some visual texture}.
We opted for a stripe pillow for the side chair.
The near wall had some open space so we move an already existing outdoor storage chest there and created a seating area. The paisley cushion and chevron pillows work great together to brighten this corner.
The white garden seat (sold in stores only) adds a table surface to this corner. And the bench, which was existing, got a new cushion and is perfect for propping your feet up or as additional seating.
To create somewhat of a visual window, hanging pieced glass lanterns were added above the railing and hold battery operated candles. The mosaic pattern is beautiful against the sunlight and at night with the candles glowing.
LW’s adorable chow, AVA is really enjoying the new outdoor carpet that was installed. Because this space does get some water exposure the carpet had to be industrial grade.
The subtle swirl pattern with green and red flecks works great with the color theme of the patio.
In the far corner of the patio a few decorative accents were added to the top of an existing storage cabinet.
I’m so glad I was able to help LW create an outdoor living room that she and Ava will enjoy for years to come.
And thanks to World Market for creating a pillow that has inspired a nation!
