8 Tips For Decorating Your Outdoor Living Space

8 Tips For Decorating Your Outdoor Living Space

At Creative Environments, we believe that luxury isn’t just about the plants and pathways that make up your landscape—it’s also about the inviting, stylish, and functional outdoor living spaces that transform your outdoor space into an elevated oasis. Whether you’re preparing for a summer soirée, a quiet evening under the stars, or simply elevating your everyday outdoor experience, the right furniture staging and accessories can make all the difference. From selecting the perfect pieces to strategic placement and accessorizing, get ready to turn your outdoor areas into stunning extensions of your home.

Accessorizing Tips:

  • When accessorizing your outdoor living space, it is always best to use odd numbers when it comes to your decor. 
  • Everything looks better on a decorative tray, it serves as a focal point that looks thoughtfully arranged and intentional.
  • Vary the height of your decorative pieces with pedestals to add interest and elevate the look of your decor.
  • Throw pillows, area rugs and pottery are great ways to bring color and texture into the space and connect the different spaces creating visual interest and a more inviting atmosphere.
  • Less is more! Filling every free space with accessories will make the space feel cluttered.

At The Galena, we utilized our accessory tips by adding a potted plant on top of a wood serving board placed delicately over a patterned runner on the table. This creates a pop of color that is easily changeable over time if your tastes change or want to accent with different colors or patterns in the future.

Furniture Tips:

  • Avoid using matching sets of furniture. Instead, mix materials to add interest and create a more customized look. This not only lets you bring your personality into the exterior of your home, but it also gives you more freedom to change different pieces over time as your tastes change.
  • Try to keep the fabrics on the exterior furniture such as sofas and chair cushions to a neutral color and instead add color and texture with throw pillows and accessories.
  • Give thought to how people will enter and exit different areas of your outdoor living space. You need to ensure that there is space for people to sit comfortably and move around with ease.

At The Calais, we utilized a natural wood sofa and chair and accented with more organic wood pieces that are unique on their own, adding dimension and interest to the outdoor seating area.
