1. Bring the Indoors Out<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Indoor-style is moving outside as new durable outdoor fabrics<\/a> and materials make furnishings more suitable for outdoors. Create a comfortable seating area with personal style using stylish new waterproof furniture and area rugs made from recycled plastics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add in some bright-colored ceramic tables and accent pillows for a pop of color and decorative outdoor light fixtures and lanterns to create an inviting glow in the evenings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Create Outdoor Rooms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whether your outdoor area is large or small you can give it a better definition and make it more functional by creating outdoor rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think of dividing your garden or yard into functional spaces \u2013 just as you would inside your home. Create places for eating, lounging, playing, and bathing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Outdoor Kitchens<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Outdoor kitchens are all the rage and why not?! Who wants to be stuck in a hot kitchen on a beautiful evening, when you could be cooking and eating, al fresco<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can create an outdoor kitchen simply by adding some counter-style prep space around an outdoor grill. Consider adding a prep sink or an ice maker if you have an available water connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have an electrical connection, go one step further and add an under-counter refrigerator, refrigerated drawers, or a beverage cooler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
