Outdoor Spaces

A charming, useful space that is often ignored is the outdoors of our homes. Many of us have porches, terraces, sunrooms or plenty of shade and grass. Why not decorate these areas and make the most of this fabulous space.

Choose practical furniture that is functional and durable first.
Dress up the furniture with slip-ons, cushions, accent pillows, throws etc.
Use plenty of potted greenery and floral’s to fill spaces and create cozy defined spaces.
Terracotta, plastic, molded resin; stone pots can all add additional charm and elegance..
Garden sculptures, fountains and birdhouses add a very special personality.
Window boxes or decorative sculptures that mount to the homes outside walls can provide additional potting space and appeal.
A potting bench can be homemade and painted, thus providing practical potting space as well as double duty for a buffet top while entertaining outside.
Don’t forget candles and torches for a wonderful outdoor ambience for your evening’s enjoyment.
