Your outdoor space should be an extension of your indoor living areas. A place you go to unwind, relax and simply enjoy being outside. Here are 5 things that we would avoid when designing your outdoor living areas.
-
Rugs that cannot withstand the weather. Rugs can add warmth and define spaces on your patio, but they can also become an eye sore and a money pit if they are not weather resistant. Instead opt for a low-maintenance budget friendly rug that can withstand the unpredictable weather.
-
Fabrics that fade. You will be wasting your money if you buy furniture made with cotton, linen, polyester, or nylon. Instead, opt for high quality fabrics like polypropylene.
-
Super bright lights. Your neighbors will thank you and you will still be able to enjoy the stars in the sky when you opt for subtle solar lights.
-
Avoid high maintenance plants. Unless gardening and plants are what you love, a balance of low maintenance plants will create a garden that thrives.
-
Outdoor dining made of metal. Black top metal looks great, but they can turn into hot plates in the summer months. Instead look for light colored tables and chairs.
