To create a coordinated look, start with an anchor color that enhances your outdoor palette (we love navy, emerald, or terra cotta), then mix and match with select prints to liven up your decor. Build on your creativity with different sizes, shapes, and textures to keep your outdoor sofas and chairs well-dressed and endlessly comfortable.

Outdoor Rugs and Mats
Create layers of comfort by starting from the bottom and working your way up. An outdoor rug can bring an unexpected pop of color, establish cohesiveness, and really anchor your lounge space. Wanting to blend separate spaces? Choose a larger area rug for sofas and seating groups and a smaller option for your bistro or cafe table and layer together to create your very own inviting retreat. Often crafted of polypropylene, outdoor rugs can withstand all kinds of weather and are an absolute breeze to clean. Simply hose off any dirt or spills and keep enjoying the good life.

Outdoor Planters
Planters are a fabulous way to divide space, boost established outdoor decor, or create privacy on patios and decks alike. Fill large planters with tall grasses to craft separate dining and lounging areas, while bringing natural beauty to even the most urban of spaces. Think vertically too! By choosing a variety of sizes and shapes, you can layer and cluster planters to create a wall of greenery offering both privacy and welcomging verdant decor.

Protect yourself and your guests from the sun and steamy temperatures with a chic, all-encompassing umbrella. Often thought of as purely functional, umbrellas can be accents or focal points in your space by choosing bold colors or pretty patterns to bring a polished touch to your poolside happy place. If you like to follow the sun while staying in the shade, a tilt umbrella will easily block out the rays without having to constantly reposition. When selecting the proper umbrella, choose one that is big enough to cover the extent of your dining table or entertainment area, to ensure there is enough coverage for all.
