One of our personal favorite parts of summer is sitting out in the sun having a nice cold glass of iced tea. We try to put our outdoor furniture out as soon as possible once the weather warms up. We want our outdoor furniture to be stylish and comfortable and able to endure the rain and thunderstorms summer brings (especially the ones we have seen this summer!) We love the style and color of these Gypsy Basket chairs and the retro construction of the chair. We also love the retro fabric which is available through Schumacher. Extending your living space to the outdoors continues to be more and more popular. With the broad selection of acrylics, Sunbrella and Outdura fabrics, your porch, patio, sunroom or deck has many options for adding color and pattern.
Don’t settle for old cushions that don’t flatter your outdoor space in the summer. This could add a whole new vibe to your outdoor environment and make it even more comfortable to relax this summer. Try some of these fabrics!
Adding color to a room is one of the easiest ways to make a room more appealing and offers more of a personal feel to the room. The fabrics, pillows and accessories on this sectional couch makes the couch even more appealing to the eye than with plain and simple cushions.
A simple wicker chair can stand out just by adding color. A pop of red or a pop of teal can make a piece of furniture like these chairs much more attractive and can make your outdoor area more colorful and friendly.
I love the dark wood used on these pieces of furniture, and the different shades of green just seem to stand out in the room.
I really liked the style of this furniture set as well as the fabric. It mixes a fun print with a plain print in the same color as well as tying it in with the rug. It looks like someplace you could sit and relax during those warm summer days or even nights.
Whether you make your outdoor space as extravagant as the one above or as simple as adding bright fabrics and an accent rug, your outdoor space should feel as comfortable as your indoor space. It's so simple to add and change colors and pieces and create a room outside your home. Being only July it really isn't too late to redecorate. Wouldn't you love to have a home away from home right in your backyard, back deck, porch or right by the pool? Looking just at the picture above, those hot summer nights wouldn't be so bad after all.

That Amy Butler fabric is one of my favorites ! I've been making a lot of cushions lately. How about you ?
ReplyDeleteUpholstery is my biggest category right now. I actually have been saving a cushion post for the fall because often times the summer comes and goes to quickly and people don't get around to covering their cushions. I'm going to post a little later because the winter is actually the best time to think about covering them.. do them when not in use so come spring you are raring to go!!
ReplyDeleteYour warm weather lasts a lot longer than ours though Tammy. Are you working on mostly indoor cushions or are you doing a lot of outdoor right now?
I have me one of those big fan shape wicker chairs that you can cuddle up in, just waiting to find the right fabric to change the cushion inside it. will have to come by a sneek a peek at your sunbrella
ReplyDeleteSarah, you are so right about not getting around to it in the spring. For 3 years now I've wanted to redo my patio cushions, but haven't. I'm also having trouble committing to a fabric. Maybe I should start now!
ReplyDeleteI do think now is the perfect time... summer is not so long-gone that your brain has completely shifted over to winter thoughts and there is no pressure of wanting/needing to have it done by a certain date so I think you will be more relaxed and successful in picking the perfect fabric.
