When selecting your seating options, pillows, and other forms of outdoor decor, remember to keep the weather in mind. You’ll want to choose furnishings with attractive finishes that will hold up in the elements. Don’t be afraid to mix prints and patterns when it comes to decorating, too. A good rule of thumb to remember is the more your outdoor space feels like your style (rather than the taste of someone else), the more likely you are to use it. Whether you’ve got a wraparound veranda to work with or you’re planning a party for a pint-sized patio, you’ll find these decorating ideas endlessly useful.
