I don’t know about you guys, but in this home-bound season of life there are two things I’m doing a lot more of: online shopping and hanging out in the backyard. Plus i’m pretty much locking my family outdoors to keep the house clean and “show ready!” (Did you know we’re building a new house? Read why here.) As we took the covers off of our outdoor furniture and started prepping for the season, I looked around. And I just knew with how much time we’re spending outside, it was time for an upgrade.
I was so excited for the opportunity to partner with Bed Bath and Beyond on this patio update. This is how it went down: One night after the boys were asleep and the kitchen was all cleaned up, I grabbed my glass of rose and a handful of Scandinavian Swimmers and crawled into bed with my laptop. There is SUCH a huge selection of outdoor furniture and accessories on bedbathbeyond.com, I had no idea!! I had so much fun creating this new look, and wanted to provide my tips for furnishing your outdoor space online so it is ready for entertaining (even if you’re just entertaining your own family right now)

You guys know I love to put together traditional modern looks that incorporate both timeless and trendy elements. I wanted this outdoor space to feel elevated, but casual, with a black and natural palette to feel like an extension of my interior. Now, black is my happy color – but it might not be yours. Whatever your “accent” color will be, I recommend browsing the different outdoor sections and filtering by that color. Something will catch your eye (like this amazing black trestle table did for me!) and then you can start adding in coordinating and neutral items around that piece.

Just because you like an outdoor chaise with a matching side table, barstools, lounge chairs, dining table and bench DOESN’T mean you have to get all of the pieces! I fell in love with the Madison Park Venice collection while I was browsing (I mean how GOOD are these chairs!?!) and then decided exactly which pieces from the collection I wanted to incorporate into my design. The woven texture of the Venice collection chairs and bench perfectly complement the black trestle table without being too matchy-matchy.

An outdoor rug will completely tie your space together. Or update the look of your tired patio furniture you’re just not ready to replace yet. Make sure that you’re picking a rug that’s rated for the outdoors, and that it is large enough for your space. I fell in love with this vintage-inspired black and tan one and never looked bag! Since I was putting together a dining area, I got an 8×10 to ensure all chairs could sit on the rug when pulled out. I love the added texture and warmth that accessories like lanterns, pillows and throw blankets bring to an outdoor space. I went with a concrete planter and side table to bring a modern touch to an otherwise traditional scene.
