Summer 2024 is around the corner, and it’s time to transform your outdoor space into the ultimate sun-kissed retreat! Whether its sipping cocktails by the pool or hosting the ultimate outdoor dinner parties with friends, your wooden furniture is the perfect canvas to create an area that is both stylish and inviting. These are our top tips to styling the perfect outdoor space that is ready for all the seasons festivities!
Embracing Earthy Tones
The natural element of wooden furniture is complimented by earthy tones when it comes to styling. This can be achieved by incorporating accents of olive green, terracotta and warm neutrals in your cushions, rugs and throws. These tones integrate seamlessly with the wood tones creating a calming and cozy feel.
Mixing Textures
Pair your wooden furniture with textured accessories such as woven baskets, macramé plant hangers, or jute rugs. Mixing materials like wicker or rattan with wood can add depth and interest to your space while maintaining an organic, cohesive look.
Adding Pops of Colour
Neutral tones serve as a solid foundation, but consider introducing vibrant accents with pillows, outdoor art, or potted plants for a lively touch. Picture vibrant yellows, rich blues, or coral shades that create a stunning contrast with the natural warmth of the wood. We love incorporating our Paindane Outdoor Occasional chair to achieve this look!
Using Weather Resistant Fabrics
When styling outdoor furniture, one needs to consider the harsh elements that the season may bring. Make sure your outdoor cushions and throws are crafted from materials that can withstand weather conditions such as Sunbrella fabric. This way, they will last longer, even through sudden summer showers and harsh UV rays. Here at Homewood we’ve partnered with local fabric houses Hertex and Home Fabrics, who each offer top quality fabrics that are both beautiful and durable.
Adding Greenery
To make your wooden furniture feel more integrated with the natural surroundings, consider surrounding it with lush, vibrant greenery. Incorporate a mix of potted plants, hanging baskets, and thoughtfully arranged foliage and florals to bring your outdoor space to life. Strategically place potted plants of different sizes around your seating area to create a layered, textured look that feels dynamic and full of life. Hanging plants can add visual interest by drawing the eye upward, giving your space a more expansive feel. Bright, seasonal florals offer pops of vibrant colour, while leafy greenery adds a calming, organic touch. Together, this mix of foliage frames your seating area beautifully, transforming it into a cozy, harmonious retreat that blends effortlessly with nature.
Incorporating Outdoor Lighting
The addition of soft lighting adds ambiance to your outdoor space. Think hot summer evenings spent outside! Brighten the atmosphere, by incorporating solar-powered lamps, lanterns, or string lights to make the mood last all day and into the night.
With these simple yet stylish updates, your patio will be summer-ready and the perfect spot for soaking up the sun or entertaining guests. Embrace the season by creating a space that’s both functional and fabulous with Homewood’s range of top quality outdoor wooden furniture.
