Here’s 3 Easy Outdoor Decorating Tips
1. Pick the Right Material
Should you buy aluminum, cast aluminum, teak, outdoor wicker, wrought iron or go green with your materials? Consider where you are placing your outdoor furniture and the elements it may be exposed to. Each material offers style, durability and has its own benefits:
• Discover the Benefits of Today’s All-Weather Wicker
• Outdoor Teak Furniture is Worth Every Dollar
• Durable Wrought Iron for Generations to Come
• Go Green With Eco-Friendly Furniture
2. Choose a Shape
I was always told that you can’t go wrong with a round – where diamonds are concerned, and it also applies to furniture. Round is an inviting, shape that’s conducive for conversation and perfect for gatherings. Or if you want something slightly more formal? A long, rectangular table makes for elegant outdoor dinner parties. Look for an outdoor sectional set that can be rearranged on a whim. Keep Feng Shui in mind and arrange the pieces to create the perfect vibe.
3. Accessorize!
From the color and texture of the cushions to the decorative extras, your outdoor accessories will bring your space to life. Add eclectic throw pillows for some pop! Light up a fire pit for chilly evenings. Everyone will love to sit out and enjoy the stars under the moonlight. Line the walkway with solar pathway lights. The options are endless!
