Creating a comfortable and inviting outdoor space is a major trend now in home decor. More and more, people are enjoying the indoor/outdoor lifestyle at home to relax and enjoy pleasant weather. Special touches like gazebos, outdoor fountains and strategically placed lattice work can add interest to a large yard, and large pots with colorful flowers are perfect for patios and balconies.


Here are some easy ways to spruce up your outdoor living space and make it your own private paradise:


1. Stick to a Color Scheme

From crisp nautical blues to soothing neutrals with accents of comfortable earth tones, you can choose a color scheme that suits your tastes and adds to the ambiance of your outdoor area. Some people take the opportunity to beautify the area with cushions featuring a colorful floral print or tropical fronds to create a garden effect. An outdoor area with a swimming pool lends itself to trendy blues, whites and greens, while a balcony on a sophisticated high-rise building is perfect for neutrals of gray, beige and black.

2. Let Furniture to Create the Mood

For the most part, your choice of outdoor furniture materials is wood, wicker or wrought aluminum. Teak, redwood and cedar are popular choices for those who prefer the classic look of wood outdoor furniture. Long-lasting and weather-resistant resin wicker made of synthetic material is a modern version of traditional wicker and ideal for comfortable contemporary styles.

Aluminum outdoor furniture is popular for tables and chairs because it is lightweight, durable and easy to move. Lightweight wrought aluminum can be shaped into loops and whorls similar to classic cast iron designs for a traditional mood.

3. Choose the Right Pieces

From smaller round outdoor dining tables to large rectangular tables that accommodate larger groups, you will have plenty choices to pick the furniture you need. Find comfy cushion and swivel chairs, benches and dainty wrought aluminum chairs for occasional tables. Ottomans and square ottoman tables offset contemporary furniture styles. Add a matching chaise lounge and a tilting umbrella for shade, and you're all set for a great day outdoors.

4. Add Pizzazz
After you choose your outdoor furniture basics, it's time to add that "wow factor" to your outdoor seating area. String lights, uplights and post lights have a high visual impact. Stately potted cedar or boxwoods and other greenery give your space that fresh look you want to achieve. For the ultimate in drama, don't forget a fire pit that is a must-have these days. An outdoor heater will ensure that you will be able to enjoy your outdoor seating area even when the nights get chilly.
