Create the Perfect Outdoor Space
Create a Space You'll Love for Years
You chose to move to the mountains to get to enjoy all that our area’s nature has to offer. You may be stumped and frustrated, trying to figure out the best way to create a unique outdoor space in your home. We have a few key highlights to offer up for you to focus on so you can create the perfect outdoor space for your friends and family to enjoy!
Furniture - Choose a Timeless Look and Lasting Comfort
When selecting the perfect outdoor furniture, you’ll have several options. Let’s start with material - we suggest you get poly outdoor furniture.
With poly, you’ll be purchasing a lasting product that will look brand new for years to come. You’ll have incredibly low maintenance, making it a great option for you to spend more time enjoying the mountains and less time refinishing outdoor furniture.
When it comes to style, poly offers so many unique and diverse options. Choose from a range of beautiful earth tones and neutral colors, or even an array of brighter poly choices. If you love a more natural look, our wood-grained textured poly is right for you. You can choose from brown tones, gray, or even white.
You’ll also get to choose from a variety of frames with upholstery. Our cushions offer extra comfort but also create a unique look with warm textures and fun patterns for your perfect outdoor space.
Creating the perfect outdoor space means having plenty of seats for your family and guests to enjoy. You can pick from a variety of sectionals, sofa and loveseats, single chairs, or any combination of those that best suits your space!
Rugs and Pillows - Add Texture and Color to Warm Your Space
Whether you choose poly, wood, or metal for your outdoor furniture, you’ll want to add a little soft texture to the space. Rugs and pillows are the easiest way to incorporate a comfy, cozy vibe outside.
Start with the right throw pillows for your furniture. If you have upholstery, make sure you choose complementary colors and patterns to your pieces. If you have a solid material, you can make whatever selection suits you best!
Once you’ve decided on pillows, focus on your rug. Measure your space out ahead of time to determine the best size rug for your outdoor space. You’ll likely be looking for an 8’ x 10’ or a 5’ x 8’. If you have a round setting, go for a 5’ or 8’ round rug for the space.
Always make sure to purchase a rug that is meant to go outside. Outdoor rugs should be low maintenance and come in quite a variety of colors and patterns. Pick from bold bright polypropylene rugs to warm neutral jute rugs for a classic look.
Greenery and Plants - Keep the Natural Vibe Going
What better way to make your outdoor space feel like a true appreciation of nature? Add plenty of potted plants and trees to create your perfect outdoor retreat!
If you’re living in a part time vacation home, we’d suggest fake plants that won’t need to be replaced often and require only dusting. There are so many beautiful artificial plants and flowers now that can be left out year round to enhance your outdoor setting.
If you’re home regularly and have a green thumb, go for some unique natural plants! This will add extra warmth and earthiness to help create the perfect outdoor space for you.
Plants and flowers are also an awesome way to bring some extra color to your space. Be mindful of your furniture and outdoor upholstery colors and pick plants and flowers that will complement and brighten your space.
Outdoor Decor Details - It’s the Small Touches That Create a Truly Unique Space
When it comes to design, it really is the small touches that make a world of difference! Select unique pieces to enhance the look of your outdoor space. We adore the look of one-of-a-kind vintage salvage pieces in an outdoor space.
If you have an old family antique or heirloom piece that is safe outside, consider using it to spruce up your outdoor space. An example of this would be an old copper basin you could add plants to. Another option would be an old birdbath that adds character and folklore to the space.
Add Ambiance - Create an Experience Everyone Craves to Be a Part Of
A beautiful space is elevated when it becomes an experience. To create an unforgettable experience for your loved ones, try engaging all of their senses in your perfect outdoor space.
Once you’ve selected the right furniture and added the finishing touches with rugs, pillows, greenery and decor, you’ve engaged their sight and touch. Adding additional string lights or lanterns for ambience adds unique warmth and magic character to the space!
Engage their sense of smell and taste by putting a fire pit in your outdoor setting. This will create the crackle and cozy scent of a warm flame and the smell and taste of s'mores and treats enjoyed around a fire.
Lastly, once you’ve created a secluded space to be enjoyed, you’ll have created lasting sounds that they’ll hang onto. The sounds of birds chirping in the morning over a cup of fresh coffee or the tree frogs singing at night. They all paint a picture of a picturesque getaway you’ve created to enjoy the outdoors.
