Whether you’re looking to update your current space or create something contemporary, these summer styles are sure to give you some alfresco inspiration. Here are a few of our favorite ways to add energy to any outside area:

Bold Colors
Bright colors are back! This summer, bold and vibrant hues are lightening up every outdoor setting. From intense reds to electric blues, these vivid palettes carry positive energy and personality wherever placed.

Outdoor Rugs
An outdoor rug is one of the simplest means to add color and texture to your yard. Whether you chose a neutral accent or a flamboyant statement piece, textiles not only offer visual impact, but can be functional as well.

Vertical Gardens
Use peripheral structures to your advantage by building a vertical wall garden. There is a wide range of planting framework to pick from, such as tall trellises or hanging planters. They are a great way to save space and still incorporate some greenery into any outdoor oasis.

Mixed Materials
One of the most attention-grabbing approaches to lend depth to an outdoor refuge is achieved when utilizing a variety of materials. By combining metal, wood and stone you are complementing the beauty of your home’s surroundings with drama and interest.

Statement Lighting
Make your property stand out both during the day and at night with thoughtfully placed lighting and one-of-a kind fixtures. With so many options, there is truly no limit to what illumination can be added to your surroundings.

Sustainable Materials
The sustainable home décor market has been greatly increasing over the last couple of years and the outdoor sector is no exception. People are favoring furniture and supplies made from natural, recycled and upcycled materials – adding this special touch while benefiting the environment.

Small Appliances
With portable gadgets, your patio kitchen can really do it all! Less-permanent appliances such as pizza ovens, mini tabletop fire pits and rolling bar carts are making outside entertaining easy and extra special.

Edible Landscapes
Nothing tastes better on a summer’s day than freshly picked produce and herbs. No matter the size, setting aside a spot for gardens and food growth will add so much to your backyard and enhance your cooking.

Touch of Personality
People are tired of the all-neutral décor. This summer bring your style back and insert custom touches wherever possible. From art to accent pieces, personalize your outdoor hangout for the enjoyment of you and your family.
