  1. Choose practical furniture that is functional and durable first.

  2. Dress up the furniture with slip-ons, cushions, accent pillows, throws etc.

  3. Use plenty of potted greenery and floral’s to fill spaces and create cozy defined spaces. 

  4. Terracotta, plastic, molded resin; stone pots can all add additional charm and elegance..

  5. Garden sculptures, fountains and birdhouses add a very special personality.

  6. Window boxes or decorative sculptures that mount to the homes outside walls can provide additional potting space and appeal.
