So, how is your outdoor patio space coming along? Are you moving along gracefully or are you stuck in a rut? Now, don’t think that just because you have a cement or brick slab in your backyard that there’s no hope. There is so much you can do to make this a fun and/or relaxing space for you and yours. Here are some tips for selecting the right furniture for you.
- Make a list-go and sit out on your patio and look around. What would you like? What do you need? How will you use your space? Do you need more seating?
- Space-how much room do you have? Take measurements and TAKE THEM WITH YOU TO THE STORE (or shopping online). Bring a measuring tape to help you at the store too. If you forget, I bet you can find someone that would be more than happy to help you.
- Try it out-when you are shopping, make sure you try the furniture out. Sit down and think about how you feel. Will this be comfortable for you and for others?
- Be practical-I’ve said it before, personally I wouldn’t go out and buy a shiny, white patio set because I have a 3 year old who is obsessed with dirt. That wouldn’t be smart or practical. Think about how you can get the best and most use out of your purchase.
Some other ways to liven up your outdoor space:
Fire pits are warm and entertaining. I think this is a great way to “brighten” up your space!
I am in love with these. Pergola’s really dress up your space. You can add climbing vines or plants to add protective shade.
This is a great set to add to your space if you are expecting more company than your larger set can hold or if you are having a gathering. It’s simply yet trendy.
Or maybe you’re all set, but you’re missing a little something. Is this it?
I hope you’re motivated now to go out and find some patio furniture and accessories that are just right for you. I know I am. I have all kinds of ideas floating around in my head. Your outdoor space is a valuable part of your home, so go out and enjoy it!
