It’s finally spring! Time to break out of our winter hibernation and get outside! Want to give your outdoor space some style? Here are some ideas and why they work.
I love this back porch from Refresh Restyle. Why does it work?
- Bright colors – I love bright colors that complement – not overtake – the outdoor surroundings. The greens and blues are reflective of the scene behind the house.
- Comfort – Don’t you just want to curl up with a book on this porch? The couch has comfy cushions and big pillows, perfect for a long afternoon of lounging.
- Furnishings – The furnishings are big enough to be comfortable but they don’t block that fabulous view! They’re the perfect scale for this porch.
Want to go bold and bright? This space works because:
- Bright colors work against the neutral brown patio and furniture.
- The rug softens the brick patio.
- The natural elements – the flowers and plants – inform the choices of the furniture and rug. The same colors in the flower bed are found in the rug, the pillow, and the furniture cushions.
This porch featured by Worthing Court is so cozy! It works because:
- Textures – I love the mix of textures on this porch. There’s wicker, wood, fabric, brick, and natural elements. The mix of textures makes it interesting and warm.
- The fan – I have a ceiling fan on my porch, too, and I love how it circulates the air and makes the porch comfortable even in the heat of summer.
- Outdoors in – I love the pops of bright green from the plants on this porch. It ties the porch, an indoor space, to the outside.
