Planning to host your summer soirees outback amid a tired matching set of brown wicker or weathered teak? All it takes is a little color to bring the outdoors to life.
Outdoor spaces have increasingly become more important. In warmer months they extend our space for dining, entertaining and just plain living. So shouldn't we treat them as special as we do our indoors? All it takes to enliven an outdoor set is a few calculated accents. A bright side table, a rainbow display of planters or lanterns and a vibrant printed throw rug all go a long way in bringing an ordinary space some extra personality.
Check out this selection of outdoor accessories that will add some easy pop to your extended-living space.
