Bright + Modern Patio Picks

     It's finally patio weather season and there's nothing better than a cozy + inviting outdoor space.  I'm helping several clients with porch and patio designs right now, so I've definitely got outdoor decor on the brain!  I like to think of these spaces as just another room of your home that should be equally as cozy and beautiful!  Since these areas are usually used as a summer entertaining space, I recommend adding in some pops of color and fun decor elements that might even be a little outside of your normal style!  Patterns, textures, and bright colors will definitely give your space that warm and inviting feel.  Starting by picking a few pillows or an outdoor rug will give you a good direction on your color scheme for the space.  As far as furniture,  I recommend investing in pieces that are comfortable, durable, and neutral (and that includes neutral cushions!).  Outdoor furniture can sometimes be pricey, but the more expensive pieces will probably last longer and be way more comfortable (so you'll end up using them more!).  You may have space for both a sitting area and outdoor dining space, but if not choose which type of seating you think you will use the most.  

A few of my essentials for decking out your space: 

1. a printed outdoor rug

2. several outdoor pillows in mixed prints + colors

3. a couple of lanterns

4. mix + match side tables + a coffee table, pouf, or ottoman

5. cute string lights or twinkle lights for hanging above your space!

6. planters: all sizes including hanging, tabletop, + floor planters

     I've put together some of my favorite patio picks that are available now in-stores for you below!  Even better, all of these items can work + coordinate together to give you the super bright + modern patio space of your dreams!  You can click on any of the photos below to see more details + pricing of any item too.  Happy shopping and let me know how your patio decorating comes along!
